The Glorious Unseen is a worship band from Nashville, Tennessee. I found out about this band when I download their Cries Of The Broken EP off of Noisetrade. Then I saw that they were coming out with a new album and I was very excited. They mix alternative rock with worship music and out of it comes a masterpiece. The first song "All Around" is a great song about when everything in the world is going wrong, Jesus is our comfort and he loves us when we're weak. The third track, a cover of John Mark McMillan's "How He Loves" is a very memorable one. It is a great song and sounds great with TGU singing it. The albums first single "Heavyhearted" is a song that is very inspiring. It's chorus is great: "And when You take me as I am, it's like the sunlight gracing the land, and when I feel heavy hearted, please take me as I am". The self-titled track is great and ends in just singing Hallelujah, which is also heard on "Awakening". The album closer "Sweet, Sweet Sound" is a prayer asking God to come again. This is definitely my favorite worship album ever, and believe me, I have heard a lot of worship music over the years . This is a great album for fans of worship and those who don't like worship alike. This is the best album I have heard in 09!
