The best newsboys cd ever
But when the first is Jesus Freak by dc Talk what can you do? This is just a really amazing cd, with sometimes painfully honest lyrics, like elle g. This is my second favorite cd of all time. or when you called my name. Catchy tunes that stick the wholesome lyrics in your head all day. Definitely recommend picking this one up. Classic old school newsboys. .


Elle G.
" is the most beautiful Newsboys song ever, and one the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I just want to say that "Elle G.


Forgotten Masterpiece?
"Going Public" neverless does not disapoint,in fact some of the best songs written by Peter Furler(who by the way sings lead on most of the songs)and producer Steve Taylor are on this album. This album was the Newsboys sophmore release with a major label, although the production is a bit over the top for my taste,I personally favor "Take me to your Leader",as it sounds more like a band effort. "Shine","Spirit Thing","Let it Rain" and the stunning "Elle G. " are some of the Newsboys finest moments. I saw the Newsboys a few years back and was surprised that they only performed one song from this great album,then again when the Beatles toured in 66' they didn't perform ANY songs from "Revolver", now considered a masterpiece. My personal favorite from this album is "Let it Rain" a touching ballad from the perspective of the apostle Peter, and how he met Christ while at sea fishing. John James, the band's "lead singer" never really sang lead on many Newsboys albums, it was later revealed that drummer and songwriter and co-producer Peter Furler sang lead on almost every song they recorded,mostly because he sounded better in the studio and James was a better frontman onstage,plus their voices sound pretty simular,but any real Newsboy fan can tell the difference. This is one of the Newsboys best albums and it would be nice if they started putting some of these songs back into their set. Great album,very minor weak spots. Enjoy! .


Good stuff
. I know this is not new music but it has sure blessed me.


Now they're going public!
If you want my opinion on the songs. I must say, this album is easy to get addicted to! It has a unique style of music that a lot of other artists don't seem to have. . .
"Real Good Thing": I can't see why anybody wouldn't like this song! It has great lyrics, great sound, and a great feeling. VERY fun.
"Shine": Finally, the signature song of the 'boys! Strangely, I used to get bored whenever I thought of this song. Now, I'm in love with it! It's a VERY fun, VERY exciting song. As awesome as it is on the album, it's 100% better when it's live (I was able to see the Newsboys in concert at their Adoration tour). You can tell that these guys have TALENT!
"Spirit Thing": The song that I barely remember from when I was very young. It seems like everybody loves this song! It has a really good tune, sound, and feeling. I love the guitar at the beginning.
"Let It Rain": I love this one! It has a very relaxing sound and feeling. I LOVE the chorus. Great worship song!

"Going Public": Finally, the title track! It seems like nobody really talks about this song a lot. I LOVE the intro, the lyrics, and the sound. Great back-up vocals, too! I LOVE it!
"Truth And Consequences": I LOVE this song! I've gotta admit, it's got a really catchy tune. Awesome lyrics, sound, and beat!
"Lights Out": WOOHOO! This is probably the fastest song I've ever heard in my life. If you like fast beats, then you'll LOVE this song. It has the best vocal and instrumental arrangement. It's a VERY fun song!
"Be Still": This song actually isn't bad. It has a feeling that's a lot like the feeling in "Let It Rain". It's also a VERY good worship song. It's pretty calm, too. Don't forget, I LOVE this one, too!
"When You Called My Name": This is the kind of song that can stick around in your head. It's kind of quiet, but I like this song that way. There are some points where there is NO sound what so ever for about 1 or 2 seconds, just incase you think that it's skipping. I REALLY like the lyrics. Great tune, too! I LOVE this one as well!
"Elle G. ": This is a great song for the end of an album! If I had to pick any favorite Newsboys songs, this would surely be one of them! I really like the tune and the lyrics; the lyrics tell a really interesting story. I LOVE this one, too!

Overall, I recommend this CD to anybody who has just gotten to know the Newsboys a couple days ago (that would be if you're reading this review a couple days or so after you found out about the Newsboys), or to anybody who is FAN of the Newsboys. ENJOY!!.
