Matt Redman album ranking

From 5 minutes thought, here is my Matt Redman album ranking:


The Friendship and the Fear
10,000 Reasons
Father’s Song
We shall not be shaken
Intimacy
Where angels fear to tread
Facedown
Passion for your name
Beautiful News
Wake up my soul

That is all.

  1. Can you expand this at some point? Would be interested to know the justification for Where Angels Fear to Tread above Facedown...

  3. James:
    Is that your only quibble? If so, I am pleasantly surprised by how much we agree!
    The reasoning is: From We Shall Not to Facedown, there is very little to choose between the 4 albums. Angels beats Facedown because I'm not really a massive fan of Pure Light, Gifted Response or Raise A Voice. Angels has fewer weak points.

    Joe:
    You are clearly insane. Friendship and Reasons are head and shoulders above the others, while Passion, Beautiful News and Wake Up are definitely bottom three. Angels, Father Song, We Shall Not, Intimacy and Facedown are more interchangeable.
    Having Friendship so low is outrageous.
    I hope you accept my correction.

  4. Ben, it will not surprise you that I do not accept your correction. 'Friendship' is in top half so describing it as 'so low' is extreme; and describing 'reasons' as 'head and shoulders' above the top 4 classics is, in fact, where the true insanity in this exercise lies. I admit it does have a case for being above 'passion'- that was done mainly to annoy you.

  5. For Friendship, 2nd would qualify as 'so low'. Fact.
    What do you regard as the 4 classics? The first 4 chronologically, or what?
