The long-awaited follow-up to 2014's chart-topping Welcome to the New, Lifer delivers another high-energy set of faith-based and hook-laden songs, including the singles "Ghost," "Even If," "Grace Got You," and the spirit-lifting title track. The band's ninth studio long-player, Lifer sees MercyMe continuing to adapt to current trends and styles, via a sonically playful ten-track set that touches on everything from soul and funk to dance-pop and gospel ballads. ~ James Christopher Monger
