"Is it just me, or does it seem that every Christian movement that hits mainstream tend to lose momentum after a couple years? Thankfully, this has not happened to Passion! After about '7 years and six albums', this group has not gone dim in it's Passion for God.(pun intended) But this album is not necessarily like the others in the series. There is a more....majestic feeling to it. Like this is not a big worship production but a group of people coming before Almighty God and singing holy anthems of love to Him. That is the theme of this album. Anthems of Love, in the truest sense.As for the songs themselves, I can not find a prediction for the next 'big worship song' that every church will be singing soon, but they are all very good. Particular stand outs to me are "O Praise Him"(sung by my personal fav David Crowder Band), "All the Earth", "Blessed Be Your Name", and "Not to Us".The Passion series is steadily getting better with each new CD. I highly recommend this to Christians needing a new worship album, and to those who loved the earlier Passion CDs."

"Somehow Passion manages to capture more than songs... this CD, like the others before it, captures the powerful heartbeat of God... and that of a lot of people who are running hard after HIm. I love the live feeling (the CD makes me feel like I'm in the middle of tens of thousands of worshippers), but also appreciate the musicality that Matt, David, Chris, Charlie and the others bring to the table. But this CD is worthy the money for the songs alone. "Holy Is The Lord" and "O Praise Him" are destined to be sung around the world, and new songs from Matt, Charlie, Steve Fee and Nathan and Christy Nockels are amazing, too. And I love the jason Wade song, "Revolution Cry," and am glad Passion has brought it to the listening public.If you're going to buy one new worship project this year, make it this one! You won't be disappointed! Passion somehow keeps it powerful...and true!"
SACRED REVOLUTION ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

"And I thought "Our Love is Loud" rocked! This CD has not left my CD player, no kidding! This CD is TEN times better then "Our Love is Loud." I went to a Passion Experiance Tour event in Sacramento, and that was awesome! The songs on this CD are awesome. I would highly recommend this CD to anyone who like loud worship music! The songs on this CD rock, but don't compare to the music in a Passion Experiance Tour. But, since we don't have a private Passion band in our living room, this CD gives us a little bit of Heaven on Earth! This CD ROCKS!!!!!"
Looking for Something New?

"For anyone looking for a fresh, new worship experience, Sacred Revolution (the songs of OneDay03)is what you are looking for.Lead worshippers Chris Tomlin, Charlie Hall, David Crowder, Matt Redman, Watermark and Steve Fee lead a gathering of over 30,000 college students before the Throne as they gathered outside of Sherman, Texas, for OneDay03, over Memorial Day Weekend.This CD captures just a snapshot of the experience of those who were there and is a must for anyone passionate about worshipping God."
Songs of Praise.

"I've heard a great deal about the Passion albums, but until recently, never took the time to invest in one. I chose PASSION: SACRED REVOLUTION because it contains several songs by David Crowder (e.g. "O Prais Him (All This For a King)") and Matt Redman's "Blessed Be Your Name". When you look at Christian music, especially praise music, there aren't too many artists out there who are willing to leave the familiar confines of mediocrity and go out on a ledge to write and create something new. Most of the artists involved with Passion are some of the few who are rising above the addiction to mediocrity. PASSION: SACRED REVOLUTION is not they typical 'praise and worship' album. Instead, it's almost like an experience in itself. A few of the songs are old hymns, such as "O Come Let Us Adore Him". These songs do not dilute the spirit of the album, but instead add to it: I've always said the old hymn writers knew how to write music that mattered. My favorite songs on the album are:
"O Praise Him (All This For A King)"
"Blessed Be Your Name"
"Revolution Cry"
"Not To Us"
I highly recommend this album to anyone who is looking for some serious praise music to listen to. Who knows, it could start a revolution."
