Kutless’s eighth full-length album, Glory, is similar to a delicious dessert—you savor each bite and then fondly recall the experience afterward. The band from Portland, Ore., offers strong praise and modern worship lyrics plus solid guitar and drum work. Kutless successfully combines worship with their signature rock sound. The result is rich but never overpowering, and you can hear every word of the lyrics. Musical themes include thankfulness, trust, and crying out to God. The thought-provoking closing song “In This City” is a call to unity as the body of Christ. (BEC Recordings)
