“”Revelation” should appeal to Third Day’s core Christian music audience while expanding its fan base in the mainstream rock arena. Possessing just the right amount of gritty intensity combined with sweet Southern charm, frontman Mac Powell is equally effective on tender ballads like “Let Me Love You” and such hard-charging rockers as “This Is Who I Am.” “Born Again” is both a study in self-examination and celebration of a life redeemed that features a gorgeous guest vocal by Flyleaf’s Lacey Mosely. Third Day fan Chris Daughtry lends his voice to “Slow Down” and guitar virtuoso Robert Randolph mixes it up on the bluesy firestorm of “Otherside.” “Call My Name” is a well-crafted number that has already topped the Christian charts. Great songs, excellent musicianship and Powell’s passionate vocals make this one of the best albums of the year. —Deborah Evans Price”
