DC Talk - Jesus Freak

Review by Stuart Delony

DC Talk's 1995 album Jesus Freak is a bold and daring move for the trio that pushed the boundaries of contemporary Christian music. The album's title track, "Jesus Freak," is a standout hit and a defining song of the band's career. The track's heavy metal riffs and rap verses blend seamlessly to create a powerful and unforgettable anthem.

The album's sound is diverse, featuring elements of rock, rap, and pop. "What If I Stumble" is a reflective and introspective track that showcases the band's ability to tackle deep and meaningful topics. "Colored People" is a catchy and upbeat song that celebrates diversity and unity.

The lyrics throughout the album are thought-provoking and insightful, addressing topics like faith, doubt, and social justice. The band's message of love and acceptance shines through in every song, making it a truly inspiring and uplifting album.

Tracks 13 and 14 are bonus tracks for this Japanese version. Track 13 was originally released on 'Free At Last', but this version may be a remix as the bass sounds a little different from the original recording to these ears. From what I can find, the Track 14 mix of DC Talk's popular pseudo-cover version of the classic Art Reynolds Singers' song (also originally released on 'Free At Last') appears to be exclusive to this version. Track 15 is the same as Track 13 on the U.S. version, starting with a brief reprise for Track 1 and concluding with a hidden track after a few minutes of silence where Kevin Max (Smith) recites his poem "Alas, My Love" over a music backdrop.
The band photo cover art is exclusive to this version.

Their previous album "Free at Last" is still one of my favorite hip-hop albums although I am not a big fan of that style. "Jesus Freak" is also a good album. The style was now rock with minor hip-hop elements. I think the style was quite original. After all, I haven't heard any rock music made this way before. It was the album that is remember still among the fans of CCM. It was a brave move to make a rock record after releasing their greatest hip-hop album.The songs? "So Help Me God" is a good opening song. It is kinda smooth. "Colored People" is about accepting other people despite skin color and it is one of the best songs of the album if you think of the message only. It is musically quite good too. The title song is one of my all-time favorite songs. It is a brave move and it became their most popular song. "What IF I Stumble" is quite sad in a way but beautiful. It tells about the walk of life when it comes to Christian. In a way, we are not much different from non-Christians - we are not perfect - we are saved. "Day by Day" is a good song too but after the first four songs it doesn't make a big impression."Mrs. Morgan" is a short interlude. "Between You And Me" is a smooth song, quite good. "Like It, Love It, Need It" is a mediocre song. It is quite rocking. "In the Light" is my 2nd favorite song of the album. A fine cover song, I really love the rocking music with some reggae elements. It is a happy song after all. "What Have We Become" and "Mind's Eye"are just good songs but not really my favorites. "Alas, My Love" is the final track. It is not exactly a song, just a poem.

What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak?
What will people do
When they find that's it's true?
Separated, I cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced
I saw a man with tat on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
'Cause I had to match the rhythm
Of his belly with my head
"Jesus Saves" is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And claimed he had a dream
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
Kamikaze, my death is gain
I've been marked by my maker
A peculiar display
The high and lofty, they see me as weak
'Cause I won't live and die for the power they seek
There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find out that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
No I ain't into hiding
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
What will people think
What will people think
What will people do
What will people do
I don't really care
What else can I say
There ain't no disguising the truth
Jesus is the way
