This album served as a pioneer for a new sound that would take over the worship industry. With a new contemporary rock twist to some traditional tunes, and a revolutionizing rock sound to many original songs, this album was, and is a hit. Released in 2007 as Fee's first studio album, the record itself passed under the radar, with only two songs gaining major traction, All Because of Jesus, and Happy Day. Many of the other hit songs were unnoticed to a point, with the singles never being highlighted, but the general idea or purpose behind Fee's record caught on like wildfire in many churches.

At the time, worship songs were still stuck in a rigid standard. Fee's album broke this standard open. The band strived to make their music enjoyable, and fun, through their rocky sound. However, they maintained that the core message could not be lost. With originals such as All Because of Jesus, Burn for You, We Shine, and Broadcast, Fee combined their sound with good religious material to create hit worship tunes. They also dabbled in some cover material to show how their sound could really revolutionize church worship music, with Happy Day as an example.

Today, it is still a work in progress to ensure church artists don't feel limited by what people feel worship music should be. Fee's album was an amazing step forward, one that many do not recognize enough. The album deserves many more accolades, as does the band. This is an amazing album filled with excellent content, with a specific God-inspired purpose.
