Petra
Back Stage Pass (Video)
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Here's a collection of videos from Christian rock's most popular band--all taken from its new album: "Unseen Power." It provides an insightful look into this album and the band member's ordinary, non-glamorous lives. Appearing here are: "Sight Unseen," "Dance," "I Need to Hear From You," "In the Likeness of You" and an acoustic version of "Ready, Willing & Able" filmed in the studio around a microphone. The two best visual clips are: "Destiny," the hardest-drivin' tune on the album, featuring some cool layered editing, creating the concept of the passage of time; and the Gospel-tinged "Who is on the Lord's Side," which has some excellent filming done by NFL Films' Phil Tuckett. While still remaining in the commercial rock side of the musical scale, Petra's new video is still entertaining.
