Continuing the countdown of my favorite albums of the decade, we’re up to...
5. Glo – Delirious?
Like the previous U2 selection, this modern worship masterpiece was released in October 2000. I always thought that if U2 – the 90s version of U2 – ever made a praise & worship album, it would sound something like Glo. Or perhaps the sort of sound you might hope to hear from a heavenly rock band. It’s that good.
Its premier track for me is “My Glorious”, a bombastic guitar-driven worship anthem. Crank it up to 11 on this one. But there are also excellent “quiet” songs, such as “What Would I Have Done?” and “Investigate”.
Glo is a case of an album being greater than the sum of its parts. It has a cohesiveness to it that begs to be listened through in order, a rare happening in our ipod world.
