Everything is different now and I like it.

"Eat your hearts out critics, covers are the new black...Stellar Kart's new project entitled "Everything is Different Now" is strongly a worship album. Including worship songs by modern artists, Fee, Matt Redman, and Audio Adrenaline and secular hits by Yellowcard and Norman Greenbaum. Stellar Kart covers well and in many cases improves on the originals.
However, it is not the covers that make this album so strong. We've gotten tastes of their worship ability on old albums but this is the best display of their modern worship prowess. Opening with "All My Heart", the listener is struck with the seeming familiarity with the song. Much like the stadium worship of a Hillsong, it is powerful pop-worship and certainly a great anthem. Spread throughout the album, other originals include the title track, "It's Not Over" and "Rescue".
Perhaps the novel ending feels a bit out of place...it's vaguely reminiscent of Relient K's "Deathbed", but overall it is very likely the deepest and most vocally clean song on the album. Everything may be different from the Stellar Kart that we may know, a far-cry from the days of "Activate", maybe it's maturity, maybe it's a sellout, if you ask me...it's a great listen all the way through. Everything is different now and I like it."
