DC Talk – Intermission : The Greatest Hits (Orange 2LP Vinyl)

It can’t be said enough that DC Talk is one of the most relevant and critical forces of change in the history of Contemporary Christian Music. They brought the sounds and words of the streets into the consciousness of mainstream Christianity. And musically, they’ve done it in the most pleasing manner. This hits package is but a mere glimpse of the brilliance Toby McKeehan, Michael Tait, and Kevin Smith have displayed in so many styles throughout their 10-year career in DC Talk. There are beautiful ballads of forgiveness (“Between You and Me”), riveting rockers of conviction (“Jesus Freak”), and the quiet, stark realities of being role models (“What If I Stumble?”). New cuts “Say the Words (Now)” and “Chance” play up the sweet melodies these guys know so well. Older fans will enjoy the inclusion of “Luv Is a Verb” and “Socially Acceptable.” As long as the group keeps its finger on the pulse of the mainstream and its heart focused on the Almighty, another decade of hits is a good bet. –Michael Lyttle
