BUILDING 429 Iris to Iris (Word 8870932)
Friday 5th October 2007 2:02PM
Well, I'd heard, on the grapevine, that Building 429 had changed their sound somewhat from their previous album, so I wasn't too sure what to expect this time round. Gone, are the grungy sounds of their previous two albums, and in has come a more mature rock style. While I didn't think that their songs were brilliant, Jason Roy's vocals certainly have improved and suit the new sound well. 'Majesty' is a light rock praise number, while 'You Carried Me' delves into the style of rock worship. 'Amazed' had me smiling as, at times, you can sing 'I Could Sing of Your Love Forever' to it's similar tune. 'Taken', I think, is the song that I'd choose as a potential radio hit. It's just got everything. There's great guitar's, a good tune, and Roy's vocals caress every word. 'Constant' is a six minute rock worship song about not being able to live without God in your life. What I like about this song is that it's so straightforward and un-complicated in its production. The album is an improvement on their last release but it will be interesting to see how many of their fans mature with the new sound. 6/10.
