AMG Review of Take Over

James Christopher Monger
All Music Guide

Dove Award-winning CCM artist Aaron Shust hit the big time in 2005 with the single "My Savior My God," which dominated Christian radio well into 2006. His third full-length offering expands on the singer/songwriter's penchant for slick, faith-based modern rock, offering up a pair of infectious singles ("To God Alone" and "Come and Save Us") that should clean up in 2009 as well. Produced and co-written with longtime collaborator and genre stalwart James Ingram, Take Over is at its best when it's reaching for the nosebleed section, but there are enough subtleties here to please praise & worship fans of all sensibilities.
