Webb's straightforward and honest lyrics speak of Biblical truths, not worldly ones. His third solo album includes "I Want A Broken Heart", "The Strong, The Tempted, & The Weak", "Reputation", and more.

This is the first Derek Webb CD I've heard (not being a fan of Caedmon's Call in the least). Like many truly good albums, this CD took me a few weeks to really get into. Derek's song-crafting abilities are solid; but that's only the icing on the cake. His lyrics cut to the point while delivering each message the with support of appropriate and well-executed musicianship. The overall theme of the album seems to deal with personal struggles, sometimes our own and sometimes ones we should notice in the people around us. The concepts here are not revolutionary but very familiar. Derek uses some interesting lyrical hooks (similar in effect to some of Bob Dylan's lyrical genius). Certain lines will jump at out you and hit you like a ton of bricks. The album is musically interesting enough where it can be played over and over again and around a large variety of listeners. I'm looking forward to hearing the backlog of Derek's albums that I have missed!

I must respectfully disagree with the previous review of this album. So many listeners have really missed Derek's message when it comes to this album. Every negative review sounds the same: "She Must and Shall Go Free" was amazing...<insert whine>...I wanted another album like that one. I think would have even liked the same album, just repackaged and given a new title. Instead, "I See Things Upside Down" provides the listener with a completely fresh look at how we often view ourselves and the world around us, but Scripture, as the lens through which we ought to view this world, will correct our skewed vision and set these images right-side up. This album is not loved by the masses for one reason only, our unwillingness to apply thought in deciphering the heavily latent meanings so carefully woven into each masterful track. Derek has told us himself on this project, "I know the songs with all the HOOKS, and I know some lines that will sell some books, so grab 'em fast, I'm running out of time." If you want poppy-radio hooks and happy music, don't buy this album. But if you appreciate art's ability to influence the whole self, you can find no greater work than this amazing follow-up to Derek's first full length album.

This is disappointing. I got this album on the strength of Derek's outstanding 2002 effort, "She Must and Shall Go Free," which is truly one of the great albums released in the past few years. For that CD, Derek had the inspiration of the awesome topic of God's church, which has been largely unplumbed by CCM. This one lacks that inspiration. It is artistic, but just not very good. One of the disappointments is the melodies and vocals. They are just sort of annoying. I hope his next album will be a return to what made 2002 such a great year for him.
