Its hard to go wrong on a worship-oriented release that features Chris Tomlin, Charlie Hall, and David Crowder. That's why this Passion concert CD is a slam-dunk winner. It's accessible rock music performed in an electric,... more » live environment, with a vertical lyrical focus. Tomlin's penchant for excelling in a concert setting is once again defined through his energetic delivery of "The Famous One" as well as covers of "God of Wonders" and Delirious's "My Glorious." Hall's quieter "Prepare the Way" and "Sweep Me Away" provide welcome relief from the high-energy release openers. Crowder rings true with his trademark "Our Love Is Loud" and a delightful reworking of the hymn "Come Thou Fount." Appropriately enough, the release ends with Tomlin's "Dance in the River," a rocker that is steeped in U2 soundalike guitars, culling just enough influence from the Edge to ignite the crowd into a frenzy. --Michael Lyttle« less

"I have listened to alot of worship albums, and this one is the best one I have heard. Sound quality is great, and the songs are awesome. It's a live performance, and that's one of the reasons why I think it's as good as it is. This album is a recording of a very real, very intense, and ever enormous worship time. It sounds like literally thousands of people attended the concert, and that means literally thousands of people were worshiping God while this was being recorded. My point is it's real. It's not worship songs that were recorded for the sake of sounding good. No, the artists and people involved were actually worshiping God when this was recorded. And upon listening, the feeling and the "passion" produced can be heard, and felt. If you like to worship God, and you are searching for a means to do so, buy this album. I'm sure it wont dissapoint you. Thank you."

"The Passion tour is one of the best, perhaps the best, concert to occur in Christian music. Out of all the Passion albums out there, OUR LOVE IS LOUD comes very close to being the best Passion album produced. The songs on the album I enjoy singing most are:
"Here I Am To Worship"
"Famous One"
"Our Love is Loud" (the title track, duh)
"Come Thou Fount"
"God of Wonders"
On most albums (even Christian praise and worship ones) there's usually a few songs that I totally skip over when I listen to the cd. I can't say that about OUR LOVE IS LOUD because even the songs that I am not most drawn to are songs that are still great to listen to. Complement this album with SACRED REVOLUTION and you have some of the best praise music being written and sung in the past three years."

"Speaking from the standpoint of a worship leader that has not had any firsthand experience with the Passion movement, I have to say that overall this cd is an excellent ministry tool - particularly in contrast with the first two Passion albums. From the first song on the album, which is my favorite, it becomes clear that this music is more subdued and there is more emphasis on catching the crowd's spontaneous response to the moving of the Spirit. I enjoyed the first two albums immensely but felt that many of the "studio mixed" sounding songs would not be possible to duplicate in a smaller church setting. This one, however, left me anxious to try some of the music with my own band. Apparently, the album is one long recorded concert and the audience is never drowned out. They are very much a part of the album. The Passion Band does several songs here that I've always loved but could not picture in a worship setting, such as "My Glorious". The renditions here are excellent in their simplification and evolution into participatory medleys.From a more spiritual standpoint, the songs on this album are full of heartfelt lyrics - lyrics that are good for people to uniformly sing and declare to God. The tone is set with the words of the first chorus: "Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down, here I am to say that You're my God" What better words to open a worship service with? The focus is quickly placed on Jesus from song one. The song, "Enough" contains even more vertical lyrics and the album continues its' rapid ascension to the throne room. The only song that left me thinking "aw, typical fare" was the final track, "Dance in the River". The only words to the song are "we're gonna dance in the river" and they are repeated over and over again. I suppose this was supposed to be a celebratory song and the audience certainly seems to enjoy it, but for all the lyrical emphasis placed on dancing around in the "water" the song seemed rather shallow. This however, seemed trivial compared to the overall experience of the album. Of the three Passion albums, this is by far my favorite. The songs are more aligned with each other in their style and feel less like an artist compilation than some of the other albums. The songs are more lyric based and less music based although the music is still superior. If you are a worship leader, pick it up. These songs will soon be everywhere. The Passion Band, along with several other new sincere worhsip artists like Rita Springer, are quickly building a sincere musical legacy for this generation."
Awesome worship

"ive listened to many worship bands and everything passion has to offer as of now, but this album has to be the greatest worship album ive ever heard. If its not the best than its tied for first with their other album, ancient hymns; modern and new!!! If you love passion you will also love Chris Tomlin, especially "Not to Us", and "Arriving". Also check out "Watermark""
