Poor Old Lu-The Waiting Room CD Christian Rock (Brand New Factory Sealed)

Description: POOR OLD LU THE WAITING ROOM Poor Old Lu makes a triumphant return to the Christian music scene and never has sounded better than on this outstanding melodic art-rock album released early in 2003 on Tooth & Nail Records, their first since 1996, sounding like a myriad of alternative rock bands ranging from melodic power rock (Live, U2), neo-grunge (Lifehouse, Smashing Pumpkins), and artistic acoustic rock (Sixpence, R.E.M., Jars of Clay). Some people have likened them to a grunge-version of R.E.M. because of the occasional jangle guitar sound and lead singer Scott Hunter's clear tenor, a grittier, alternative version of Keith Green. The Waiting Room sounds terrific, perhaps due at least in part to the fact that Aaron Sprinkle has done a lot of producing since Lu disbanded six years ago. It's like listening to Live or Smashing Pumpkins with the dreamy art rock of Starflyer 59. Fans of the intelligent grunge pop/rock of Lifehouse may want to check out this album to glimpse a classic Seattle band at the top of their game. The album opens with 'Revolve,' a melodic rock tour de force that shows off Jesse's impressive drumming in a song about casting off the false securities and materialism of this world in favor of a closer relationship with Christ. 'Sunlight & Shadows' feels like a Brian Eno-produced U2 rock ballad with its similar bass line, classic keyboard effects, and Aaron's Edge-like guitar work. The song warns of the perils of living a lukewarm spiritual life, neither hot nor cold, attempting to live a life of holiness while collecting skeletons in our closet. Poor Old Lu falls into a bluesy grunge ballad style that's similar to Jars of Clay and Live in 'A Month of Moments,' which reminds us that we cannot justify ourselves in the eyes of God. We need Christ, who still loves us despite the way we cling to our sinful nature. Jars fans also will enjoy the darkly hued prayer for hope 'Praying for the Perfect World,' as well as 'Friday to Sunday,' which has a powerful rock sound similar to 'Liquid' and 'Crazy Times.' As you might surmise from the title of 'Friday to Sunday,' it chronicles the times between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, praying from the perspective of the disciples. The glory of God's grace serves as the subject for 'Today,' a flowing guitar ballad similar to Live and Lifehouse. The closing title track is a metaphor for this world and the anticipation of Christ's return as expressed in Roman 8:21-23. The poetry of the lyrics combined with Aaron's guitar fingering and the building art-rock sound help make this track. Fans of Poor Old Lu's classic grunge jangle rock sound will appreciate songs such as 'Now,' about living in the present time granted by God, and 'Crushed,' which describes the moment when we kill our pride and open our hearts to Christ. Overall, this is an excellent art-rock album that's intelligently created yet still quite accessible — they're experimental without being a burden to listen to, neither too loud nor too strange sounding. If you don't consider The Waiting Room to be Poor Old Lu's best album to date, you'll likely rank it near the top of their catalog. It combines the creative songwriting of A Picture of the Eighth Wonder with the well-produced rock of Mindsize. Songs include: 'Revolve,' 'Now,' 'Sunlight & Shadows,' 'Crushed,' 'Today,' 'interlude,' 'A Month Of Moments,' 'Praying For the Perfect World,' 'Crowded,' 'Friday To Sunday' and 'The Waiting Room.' 11 songs TT: 41:39 8-page insert w/lyrics.
