Peaking at number two on the ARIA chart following its release back in June, this album continues the long list of high quality and celebrated releases that we’ve come to expect from Hillsong Church.
Recorded live, it has a huge sweeping ‘stadium’ sound offering plenty of depth, while still leaving enough space for the listener to breathe. The instrumental arrangements are beautiful – there are moments you feel like you are swimming in pools of silk!
No Other Name brings the listener on a seamless worship journey. Beginning with ‘This I Believe (The Creed)’, the listener brought into a space of meditative reverence and awe. Joel Houston and Jonas Myrin provide a wonderful highlight with the nine minute epic ‘Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace)’, which is followed by title track ‘No Other Name’.
The listener is then moved into a more corporate feeling of joy and praise with ‘Thank You Jesus’, and ‘All Things New’, and the album then draws to a close with the statements of hope in ‘Our Father’ and ‘Mountain’.
If you enjoy contemporary Christian worship, No other Name will sit perfectly in your playlist. It is exactly what you expect from Hillsong. Quality.
