Description:
What will certainly be most striking to some fans about The Sermon On Exposition Boulevard is that it rocks harder than any album the two-time Grammy Award winner has ever recorded. `Nobody Knows My Name,` the striking opening track, might best be described as `minimalist pure pop punk rock,` and the evocative, riff-`n`-hook-filled, stream-of-consciousness rant titled `Falling Up` follows in a similar decidedly art-rock manner. What`s ultimately just as fascinating as the remarkable music on the new album, however, is that all 13 songs are inspired by the real words and ideas of one Jesus Christ. (New West Records)
