{"product_id":"leeland-opposite-way-cd","title":"Opposite Way CD","description":"“The album is primarily a call to our generation to passionately walk the \u003ci\u003eopposite way\u003c\/i\u003e from the world; that it's OK to live the Christian life and to be on fire for God, even if it makes us look different. - Leeland Mooring \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Leeland may call Texas home, but its musical inspiration comes from across the Atlantic. The Christian quintet's sound owes much to British prog-rock, both in its earlier incarnations (Yes, Genesis) and more recent permutations (Coldplay, Travis). \u003ci\u003eCount Me In, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eDon't Go Away\u003c\/i\u003e and similar tracks are propelled by torrents of U2-like lead guitar, while lighter tunes like the boisterous \u003ci\u003eWake Up\u003c\/i\u003e and the slinky \u003ci\u003eBeginning and the End\u003c\/i\u003e provide an alternative to the album's sometimes strident tone. Lyrically, \u003ci\u003eLet It Out Now\u003c\/i\u003e and the title tune stand out for their theme of God-centered nonconformity amidst the materialism of the everyday world. As on their debut, the band proves itself adept in the modern praise realm with such worshipful tracks as \u003ci\u003eEnter This Temple\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMay Our Praise.\u003c\/i\u003e Leeland Mooring's lead vocals convey the innocent passion of youthful belief - his awkward-but-plaintive upper range is especially effective on \u003ci\u003eBrighter Days.\u003c\/i\u003e Ultimately, it's this slightly naïve quality which gives Leeland its own identity and makes Opposite Way a convincing expression of faith. -iTunes \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: February 26, 2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Essential Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 083061085421\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Leeland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772176065,"sku":"Leeland (2)","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Leeland_Opposite_Way_CD.jpg?v=1749845493","url":"https:\/\/colliderecords.live\/products\/leeland-opposite-way-cd","provider":"Collide Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
