Internationally recognized praise band Planetshakers releases Rain Part 3. In addition to Rain Part 3, both Rain Part 2 (released in April) and Rain Part 1 (released in January), feature Joth Hunt along with worship leaders Sam Evans, Aimee Evans, BJ Pridham, Joshua Brown, Rudy Nikkerud, Chelsi Nikkerud and more.

I try my best to be honest about music on here, so here goes: I don’t like the verses to the song 'My Reason', which is the opening track. Sadly they feel like an after thought to what is a very catchy chorus and nice beat. Now once I get...

I try my best to be honest about music on here, so here goes: I don’t like the verses to the song 'My Reason', which is the opening track. Sadly they feel like an after thought to what is a very catchy chorus and nice beat. Now once I get past that I actually really like the chorus, as said it has a catchy melody and the dance beat adds some exciting elements to it.

Moving onto the next few tracks and we have 'Now Fall On Me' which is a proper dance tune, really solid and exciting and then on the flip side you have 'God Is On The Throne' which is again another stunning track but more inline with the sounds of an intimate worship set up.

Now with the track 'Rain Your Glory', I don't usually like saying things like this, but for me personally I think the melody line of the chorus could be a bit more creative. It kind of feels a little bit like it’s dragging its feet. The song does grow as it continues. Being as the song is a massive 9 minutes long you really need it to grow. This is Planetshakers and their proper power ballad worship sound.

My worry here is that these songs depend so much on the modern exciting dance sounds and that other elements of the songs are missed. When actually it seems like Planetshakers on part 3 want the big moments of these songs to be the big musical dance ‘drops’ (I thinks that's what the cool kids call them). Will these songs work in a live setting perfectly? Yes, so much. Hearing these songs live be amazing and what is great is you can hear it on the recording.

So Part 3 is made up of two big ballads and two big dance songs. Another solid part from the collection of songs from Planetshakers, but personally for me I preferred other parts of this Rain collection... now we look forward to Part 4.
