Wire CD

The new century has been very good to bandmates Mac Powell, Brad Avery, Mark Lee, Tai Anderson, and David Carr. Best known for their kinetic live shows filled with modern worship music and a signature southern style, the million-selling Grammy and Dove Award-winning band has been named the GMA Group and Artist of the Year, had their Offerings album go gold, and played to sold-out venues across the country.

Third Day consistently delivers fresh, contemporary worship music that Christians use in church, youth groups, concerts, and rallies. But when it's time to rock, they rock---and Wire says, "It's time!"

Excellent cd. Third Day did another great cd. I like the songs Come On Back To Me, Wire, I Got A Feeling, Till The Day I Die, and Rockstar. The rest of the cd is great too. I have this cd in my Third Day collection.

I was thrilled to discover Third Day, because I had gotten rid of all secular rock music when I was reborn and thought my musical choices were limited to hymns. Now I can listen to rock again without fear of offending The Holy Spirit, or troubling my own spirit. This is a rock album with plenty of bass/guitar/drums. Third Day's Wire is a spiritually safe, rockin' alternative to anything that the 'world' may have to offer! My favorite Third Day albums, though, are Offerings and Offerings II. Come to think of it, Wherever You Are is great too...

I love 3rd day Wire.I listen to it all the time. My favorite song of all is #3. I can't wait till I get the next CD.

OK..I can't compare this to other 3D works, as this is the first one that I have ever gotten. Now I am tempted to get Conspiracy #5 since everyone is talking about that one. As for me, I LIKE "wire" a lot! It has a good mix of different styles of tunes and has some "Edge" to it..as a NEW fan of 3D,I can only say it is a GOOD solid CD to be exposed to them with, I have definitely bought much much worse.As an aside, it does not have as much edge as say "Jekyll n Hyde" by Petra, which is NOTHING like their previous stuff, so as 2 other guys said-it may not have held up as a "return to rock with an edge". I am still very happy with "Wire" none the less!

"Wire" is by far the best Third Day album yet! The first time I heard it, I loved it and it is still my favorite CD. The songs have original lyrics and tunes, but it is still the sound of Third Day. This is a must have for every Third Day fan!!!

I agree with Scott. I've never been a fan of 3D, but, I've been tempted to give them a try. I did enjoy Conspiracy #5, and the Offerings albums are good, but none of the other 3D albums are quite what I'm looking for. This one starts out good, but I just lost intrest after the first two songs.

If you like the traditional 3D sound you are going to love this album if you were looking for something a little new and rocky from 3D you are going to be a little disappointed. If this disc wasn't being marketed as a 3D's return to "rock" I may have marked it higher. This was supposed to be 3D's next step (kind of like their "Achtung Baby" if you will). I read how they approached this album like they were a new band trying to make it, so my expectations were high for a disc that was going to be raw, hard hitting, and new (with some classic 3D sound still in the mix). When I heard the first song I thought for sure this disc was going to deliver, but soon realized that was about all the rock and some freshness I was going to get. The rest of the album gets bogged down with mid-tempo rockers, slow songs (which don't come close to other 3D worship classics), and maybe two other okay "rock" songs. Wire is not all that different from the other recent 3D releases which makes it a miss on my bullseye. Fortunately, for all us 3D fans that were looking for something new from the band, we still have "Conspiracy # 5", which may be their best and most creative album to date.

To be honest, it took awhile for this album to grow on me, but after about the third listen I was hooked. This is my fifth Third Day album and I can definitely see their growth. I remember loving "Time", and then "Come Together" came out and I was wishing there were a few more "rocky" songs like "Get on" and "40 days". This album definitely satisfied that craving. It has a better balance than "Come Together", melding both rocky songs and slower songs as well as more mid-tempo songs into one perfectly constructed album. It has something for everyone, and another great thing about it is that a few of the songs can have a lot of different meanings (like "Wire", "It's a Shame", etc.) Some people are in a huff about the fact that there seems to be a lack of God's name in the entire record, and all I can say to that is simply this: Not only is it obvious that this is a Christ-centered album (take the song "You Are Mine" for example: "Sometimes I wonder why you even love me, and why you ever chose to call me child; Then I remember it's by your sacrifice, I can say that I am yours and you are mine") but you can also see the hand of God throughout it. I would question those people who are huffy over this issue about what's more important: appearances, or a deeper meaning? I would recommend this album to anyone.
