yeah, there is nothing more bland and (ironically) uninspired than most church music .. especially the pathetic attempts to modernize it.
You'd think that believers who were trying to express the love they feel for god would put a little more skill and effort into their songs of praise...
the lyrics are for the most part juvinile and childishly simplistic ... and i dont think that was the goal despite the 'we're all gods children thing'
you'd also think that these people would be blessed with a little talent .. but thats just me being a prick.
what i dig is the wailing crash and thunder old time gospel (think Blues Brothers)
a lot of powerful voices started in gospel .. then withered and died on the pop music vine ..
thats progress for you ...
