Overview Beauty In The Broken follows Starfield?s critically acclaimed debut release. More than 200 yearly performances, including several Youth Specialties Conferences, have established a loyal following. Singer/ writer Tim Neufeld says of the new album, ?The underlying theme of the CD is the idea of looking through the everyday and into the sacred... the idea that the sacred IS the reality, and not the earthly. It?s about us fitting into God?s reality and not the reverse?? The songs are the full range of the human response to this kind of grand theme? abandonment, surrender, apprehension, doubt, joy and more?

starfield Mar 27, 2007
I bought this for my roommate as a gift. the album is wonderful and i love the songs but nothing compares to their song "filled with your glory"
Starfield "Beauty in the Broken" is solid Jan 27, 2007
On my initial listening of these cd, I think I would have given it 3-4 stars, but as I took it in more and the lyrics, I realized what a solid release this is, not just musically but in the message.
The whole release is true to its title, with the songs focusing on the reality of brokenness and the need for God's grace.
"Son of God" is a simple but heartfelt worship that dovetails well into their hit, "Everything is Beautiful," which carries the message that even when things are falling apart, it is the fact that "Sweetly, You release me from the weight of what I've done" that provides the thrust of the song's upbeat emphasis. "Captivate," "Unashamed," "Love is the Reversal," "Obsession" and "Shipwreck" also carry this message of the beauty of being broken when one can see the reality of the God who sees their brokenness, but covers them with His grace. And finally, the "Hand that Holds the World," "Great is the Lord," and "Glorious One" all cap off a release that is obviously intentional, consistent and worshipful in it's content.
Musically, this is a solid release. Lyrically, it is a 5+. Unlike a prior review, I would agree with others saying that it is hard not to see the God of the Bible described clearly here--our being "messed up" in light of His greatness, but His love and favor that help us draw to Him "unashamed."
awesome music Jan 22, 2007
I dont get how people are criticising this band. I went to Resurrection 2007 and saw the band preform live and was blown away. The brothers can really play and the lyrics are awesome and catchy. Lines like "I want to hold the hand that holds the world" and "shipwrecked on Gods shore" show the bands love and respect for god and heaven. I coughed up all my money to buy a cd for $15 and it was worth every penny. If you like christian music with good lyrics, well played music, and that has goood people in the band, the next time you are in walmart pick up Starfields "Beauty in the Broken."
Startfield sequel falls short... Jan 9, 2007
I loved, I mean LOVED Starfields first album. This one really to feel so short of my expectations. There are a few good tracks that really stuck out to me, but as a whole I wouldn't purchase this album.
Good, but not as good as self-titled Nov 16, 2006
Starfield's second album has some really good sounds on it, including a great track featuring Chris Tomlin, but truth be told, I was a little disappointed after their self-titled album. Beauty in the Broken is a good worship album, but we already have so many great worship albums out there. I love Starfield's first album for their ability to write great Christian *performance* music when most non-worship Christian albums are pretty mediocre.
