His new album, Furious, is filled with songs that speak to God's furious(intense and energetic) love for us. I am put in mind of C.S. Lewis' Aslan when I consider how furious might relate to Jesus and His Love for us (And I have to chuckle after writing this, now that I have read more about the album on the Vineyard Music website~ these are basically the same words that Jeremy Riddle used to explain his purpose in using the word "furious"~ I guess the idea came across!).
This is a sometimes ethereal album, where the lyrics occasionally get lost in the long drawn-out melodies(Keeping in mind that I received the album minus the benefit of liner notes, which usually help me immensely when trying to immerse myself in new music).
Furious could be considered perhaps a little more "emotional" in nature at times than I am personally, so I appreciated reading that this work was the result of Jeremy stepping back from "Concert events that, to him, felt more about selling tickets and entertaining a crowd than getting people into a deep, sacrificial place of worship." Many of the songs certainly have an intimate feel to them~ perhaps a little "Slower" in pace than I generally prefer.

I particularly appreciate the feel and message of Acquitted and One Thing Remains.
