If you missed Part 1 (The Live Region), check it out here. Otherwise, it's on to Part 2. This time, it's the Grab Bag Region. Here we go!
#1 We Are Loved VS #16 Intoxicating
This one's not too difficult. Both songs are good, but We Are Loved far exceeds Intoxicating and easily moves on.
We Are Loved advances
#2 Church Music-Dance! VS #15 Revolutionary Love
Revolutionary Love is a great opening track to a CD. But it's no competition for a disco-inspired, rocking worship song that genuinely makes you want to do exactly what the title says...Dance!
Church Music-Dance! advances
#3 Can You Feel It? VS #14 Remedy
Can You Feel It? has to take this one. Remedy is a great song and all, but CYFI has so many excellent Crowder song qualities. The electronic stylings throughout mixed with an upbeat tempo and strong guitar-led praise...it just works.
Can You Feel It? advances
#4 Come Find Me VS #13 Rescue Is Coming
Rescue Is Coming is a terrific song. However, it ultimately works better within the confines of the A Collision CD as a whole. Come Find Me works excellently within the confines of Give Us Rest. However, it also works quite well as a stand-alone song. And that's the reason it's going to move on.
Come Find Me advances
#5 A Beautiful Collision VS #12 Can I Lie Here
Can I Lie Here is another great song that works better in the confines of it's CD, as it flows so well in that arena. A Beautiful Collision, on the other hand, is a flat-out great song. It cruises in this one.
A Beautiful Collision advances
#6 Sequence 1 VS #11 We Won't Be Quiet
Now, this one is intersting. Sequence 1 is the quintessential "rock opera" song of Crowder's. However, as the title implies, it's just one part of a sequence of songs. And while it's a great song by itself, it should also be taken in context of the rest of the sequences. We Won't Be Quiet doesn't have such hang-ups. And it also has Ted Nugent. This one's close, but I'm ultimately going to go with the upset in this one.
We Won't Be Quiet advances
#7 Oh, Great Love Of God VS #10 Come Awake
Come Awake is another one of those songs that, while good, is better in context. Oh, Great Love Of God seems to work pretty well in all facets. And because of that, it's going to advance, though it's close.
Oh, Great Love Of God advances
#8 The Veil VS #9 Do Not Move
This is another interesting one. Do Not Move is a terrificly complex song, particularly musically. The Veil also hit some excellent notes, and it has a pleasing complexity as well. This one is close, but I think I'm going with the upset on this one.
Do Not Move advances
Eight more songs advance, eight more songs are out. Here's the updated bracket. Next time, it's The Worship Team region. Looking forward to it!
