HILLSONG UNITED
The Heart Revolution: With Hearts as One
(Hillsong/Integrity)
This two-disc set is a true-to-form representation of what one encounters in the thick of a sweaty, hand-raising mosh pit at a United show: a can’t-sit-still, nonstop hit parade encompassing all the highlights from the group’s previous albums.
The results are electric—heart-pounding even—stripped of nearly all the postproduction gloss common in today’s live offerings. The raw, almost bootleg sound quality makes for a rough listening session in spots, but there are so many huge moments of unabashed praise, one is willing to overlook the coarseness.
Hearts as One is a terrific, post-concert keepsake, as well as a faithful documentation of the group’s heartfelt journey to change the world one worshipper at a time.
