Album Review

Building 429 returned scarcely a year after Rise with its third studio album and a more refined sound. The band that had become known for middle of the road neo-grunge opted for the slick production help of Brown Bannister, the man responsible for the mid-career revivals of Steven Curtis Chapman, Avalon, and MercyMe. The result was an impressive forward step for the group. Iris to Iris invited listeners to take a deeper look at the band's themes, both lyrically and musically. Jason Roy's vocals coaxed an admiration for the band's deliberate yet earnest approach to modern worship. Their adult alternative sound continued to call to mind the Calling and Lifehouse. The swirling odes "Waiting to Shine" and "Constant" took on a slightly different spin, landing closer to the layered grunge-lite of Dishwalla. Meanwhile, solid tracks like "Power of Your Name," "Majesty," and "Grace That Is Greater" rounded out the record. Where Rise suffered from a lack of pace by mid-album, Iris to Iris churned out track after track of listenable delights that only let you relax for a moment before hooking you back. Building 429 continued an evolution away from generic offerings with this album but left room for further stylistic improvement.

Customer Reviews

Must have album!

I have the privilege of being good friends with these guys and I have never seen their hearts and souls shine through on an album more than this one. Iris to Iris is an amazing album that is very vertical in its content. Building 429 is personally trying to come into the presence of God through these songs while helping others encounter him as well. The production quality on this album is so well done and it is a must have for every person who loves and appreciates Christian music.

Building their best one yet!

Not much to say about this album, except I think that they couldn't have recorded it at a more perfect time. For me its one of those albums that you can listen straight through without stopping. I highly recommend this album. I love the vertical mentality that is shown through each song...Hope this was helpful and happy listening. In christ,

A Suprising Work of Beauty

Honestly I thought this album was gonna be a hard-rock based album like Rise. However this is totally amazing, and has to be one of my favorite albums of 2007. It's just a pure expression of the heart and souls. And the thing that's great is that it can be a highly acessable for anyone. It preaches God without saying "Turn or Burn" or anything else crazy. It's a definately inspiring work of art that would recommed buying in whole, because the way this intended to be is an epic work of art that flows track by track. It's not telling a story, but t's still essential that you get the album. Also to note are the lyrics. It's a great mix of praise and just pure straight up love for God, and it's all original. There is nothing redundant about this album. It's just a praise to God.

Biography

Genre: Christian & Gospel

Years Active: '00s, '10s

With a name taken from Ephesians 4:29 ("Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up"), Building 429 was committed to music as much as message. Led by vocalist/guitarist Jason Roy, the band also featured bassist Scotty Beshears, guitarist Paul Bowden, and drummer Michael Anderson. In 2004 the band made an immediate impression on the CCM community, watching its debut EP, Glory Defined, and its title track single hit the top of the charts....
