And even with more than a dozen million album sales behind them, Schlitt, Smiley and the band sound as musically hungry as ever with a straight ahead melodic rock collection that ranks right up there with either co-leader's best work.\" --Andy Argyrakis, CCM Magazine, June 14. 2016 \"The Bottom Line: Together, the Union of Sinners and Saints deliver a refreshing masterpiece that pays homage to good old-fashioned rock n'roll. Schlitt says, \"The album [incorporates] the kind of artistry and ministry that will remind [listeners] of the early years of Christian Rock, but also usher in a new energy and excitement.\" That it does, John. That it does.\" --PhillFeltham, Newreleasetoday.com, June 15, 2016 \"Schlitt's well-preserved voice retains its grit while still hitting the high notes with ease, the band featuring accomplished veterans such as Jon Knox (Adam Again and Whiteheart) alongside more recent talent in the presence of Jason Fowler serving up a massive foundation for him to lay his voice atop. Covers of Whiteheart (\"Independence Day\") and Petra (\"Beyond Belief\") do the originals full justice, and the pure garage rock snarl of \"Old Guys Rule\" alongside the subdued progressive rock vibe of \"Bittersweet\" are standouts among a stack of solid originals by Smiley with major contributions by Schlitt and Peter Furler of Newsboys fame. The ballads never dip into saccharine and the rockers truly rock.\" --Jerry Wilson, Examiner.com, June 23, 2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31605876228193,"sku":"0813543021780","price":16.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_1574339_2209633_20250627012413.jpg?v=1779846203","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0813543021780-union-of-sinners-saints","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
