 Exception Music and Lyrics Apr 29, 2009
This is one of my favorite albums of all time. The depth of the lyricism is incredible. I think that I pick up something new each time I listen to it. The music is also great. "Thankful", "Table for Two", and "Somewhere North" provoke deep thought and tell a story all the while. This is highly recommended.

 "Thankful" I'm not Hyper Calvinist Dec 01, 2008
Yes, words do have meaning.....whether you like Caedmon's style of music or not, biblical evangelicals should find "Thankful" very disturbing. Caedmon's Call's Calvinistic roots and their veneration of Reformed traditions really come to the forefront in this tune and a closer look at the lyrics reveals the hyper-Calvinistic doctrine of deterministic predestination and reprobation: "I can't refuse,....Because I have no choice....Through faith that's not my own". I love CCM, but please go beyond the surface of the music and look at the substance of everything out there!
~my favorite album~ Oct 19, 2008
This is still one of my favorite albums of all time. Caedmon's Call is such an awesome group, and this CD is absolutely amazing from start to finish! Some of the highlights are the title track -- "40 Acres" -- along with "Shifting Sand", and "Where I Began". Derek Webb's "Somewhere North" is incredible, and one of the most underrated songs on the album..."Faith My Eyes" is also such a powerful song. The biggest radio hits have probably been "There You Go" and "Thankful".
I think one of the most amazing things about Caedmon's Call is that they can sing so many different styles of music -- from 3 different lead singers. Cliff Young and Derek Webb both have awesome songs on here, and Danielle Young simply has the voice of an angel!
Bottom line: there is something for everyone on this amazing album. Such talented and deep songwriting from Aaron Tate and Derek Webb shines throughout every song on the album. Take a listen to the CD - it's well worth it!!!!! Overall ~10/10~

Not Just great CCM but great MUSIC! Aug 06, 2006
As a long term reformed Christian, I had pretty much gotten to where I felt virtually all CCM music was just second rate bands that couldn't get a contract without trading on the "religious" label. My favorite modern religious song had always been Eric Clapton's "Presence of the Lord". But then I read an article about the resurgance of Calvinism amoungst Christian youth and a few CCM rock bands and decided to try Caedmon's Call. I was pleasantly shocked. Derek Webb and company have managed to pull off the difficult task of bringing reformed theology into a modern context. I can't thank you guys enough. So far everything I've heard is first rate. Along with Jars of Clay, Derek Webb and Caedmon's Call are the best of what will hopefully be a coming flood of Christian alternative rock. I love it. Thank you!
