This is the first of perhaps many editions of what i’m calling Ten Words or Less… Since there were something like 25 new (Christian) albums released this week, and since i’m pretty terrible at buckling down and writing fullon reviews these days, here’s a bundle of quick takes on the albums that i got and had a few minutes to reflect about… i think it’s pretty self-explanatory, but feel free to send me any questions you may have… other than that, enjoy…
