Background

[edit]

In February 2017, the duo announced that they had begun work on their third studio album inLos Angeles.[4]The album was a follow-up to For King & Country's commercially successful, critically acclaimed second effort,Run Wild. Live Free. Love Strong.released in 2014. In the four years between the releases, the Smallbone brothers worked on and released the filmPricelessand the film's soundtrack in 2016, which, according to Luke Smallbone in the pair's interview withBillboard,held them back from returning to the studio.[5]The duo also headlined the 2016 Winter Jam Tour Spectacular and had their song, "Ceasefire" featured as a music video for the 2016 film,Ben-Hurand also featured on the soundtrack to the 2017 film,The Shack,with a cover of "Amazing Grace".[4]Skilletand the duo joined forces for the joy.UNLEASHED | The Tour which ran from mid-April through early May.[6]When the tour concluded, the duo announced that they will release "Joy" as the first single from the album on 18 May 2018.[7]For King & Country then released "Joy.", that day.[5][8]

Joel Smallbone shared with his opinion withBillboardabout the album:

It feels like the most mature record that we've made just in understanding who we are as a duo, who we are as men and maybe understanding life because we are a bit older than we were last time around,

— Joel Smallbone,Billboard[9]

Luke Smallbone also shared withBillboardthat they established, through their assessment ofRun Wild. Live Free. Love Strong.,that the songs which connected with their listeners the most are the ones that were personal, and set out to ensure that every song on the album would have a personal story attached to it.[9]Joel also explained toPeoplethat "The album was built around this concept of 'where are we' socially, politically [and] as a nation."[10]

The name of the album, as well as thetitle track,stems from a battle that Luke Smallbone's wife, Courtney, faced with an addiction to prescribed medication,[10]coupled with an historical incident during theSpanish conquest of Mexicoin 1519 AD, where a Spanish commander namedHernán Cortés,landed his ships on enemy shores unaware of what awaited his arrival. To ensure that the men were committed to their mission, he proclaimed, "Burn the ships!"[11]Joel Smallbone expressed to Lee Clarion thatBurn the Shipswas "very much dedicated to the whole concept of no retreat, to very aggressively leave the past in the past and move forward."[12]

Music and lyrics

[edit]

According to Timothy Monger ofAllMusic,the music on the album, mixes the duo's "signature blend of dynamic rock andelectronic popwith classical and choral elements ".[13]NewReleaseToday's Kevin Davis likened the "worshipfulalt-rockstyle "to recent releases byColdplay,NeedtobreatheandMat Kearney,declaring that the "entire project has a Brit-rock tinged worshipful vibe", while noting that it "doesn't conform to the pattern of typicalCCMmusic ".[14]Robert Berman fromWorship Musician Magazinedescribed the album as being "in the same, hooky,Imagine Dragons/OneRepublicvein as their previous work, loaded with atmospheric keyboards in soaring arrangements ".[15]The album's lyrics explore the themes of "hope, forgiveness, faith, and new beginnings",[13]whilst being "catchy and biblical".[14]Brandon Callies from On Tour Monthly depicted the album as "an anthem filled offering from start to finish", with "a constant uplift from track to track", musically and lyrically.[16]

The album opens with "Introit", is an instrumental intro.[17]This is followed by "Joy",which is a" bursting, celebratory anthem "[18]with an "upbeat hook and infectious melody".[14]Described byBillboardas "a buoyant track backed by a 100-member choir"[9]features a refrain from the popular song "Joy in My Heart" by George William Cooke.[17]"God Only Knows" is an "emotional track full of hope",[18]that tackles depression and suicide,[17]which could "easily be paired with Imagine Dragons orFunany day ".[16]The music video of "God Only Knows" ends with the number for the National Suicide Prevention Line.[19]"Amen" is another song that also asserts the brothers' religious convictions,[15]inspired by Luke Smallbone's rebaptism,[20][21]that provides "aLatinflair and energy into the mix ".[17]The album's namesake track conveys the message of no retreat and leaving the past behind.[17][18]"Burn the Ships" has been likened to the 1994Steven Curtis Chapmansong of the same name due to the inspiration drawn from the historical incident.[15]"Fight On, Fighter" is a song dedicated to their wives,[9]a follow-up to "Priceless".[22]"Need You More" was born out of Luke's son's near-death experience,[20]which leans sonically towards "more of a traditionalpraise and worshipsound ".[16]"Control" is a song about letting go and letting God take the lead in life.[20][23]"Never Give Up" which uses "a relaxed groove with soft beats and finger snapping"[18]encouraging the listener to do just that.[20]The penultimate song, "Hold Her" is a love song about the difficulties of being away from home,[23][24]dramatising "the relational separations caused by a traveling musician's life on the road".[15]The duo joins forces with their wives on the final track, "Pioneers", forming "anABBA-esque quartet ",[24]to encourage married couples to carry on through the troubles they face.[25]

Burn the Shipsprompted largely positive reactions, echoed in reviews about the collection from critics within theContemporary Christian musicgenre. Joshua Andre rated the album four and a half out-of five at 365 Days of Inspiring Media, stating thatBurn the Ships,though "captivating and powerful", was not as compelling asRun Wild. Live Free. Love Strong.[36]AllMusic's Timothy Monger used "powerful" and "ambitious" as descriptors of the album.[13]Reviewing forCCM Magazine,Jen Rose Yokel said ofBurn the Ships:"with its epic soundscapes and energetic, hopeful songwriting, it's a pop album you won't want to miss".[37]The Christian Beat contributor Emily Caroline wrote that "Burn the Shipsis definitely a release to look forward to. The Smallbone brothers have a lot to share with this album, using their smooth, warm, relatable vocals and relatable songwriting to touch many. "[18]Bestowing a perfect ten square rating forCross Rhythms,Tony Cummings concludes simply: "An absolute gem of an album."[38] In a somewhat negative review from Jesus Freak Hideout, Michael Weaver rated the collection two stars, says "Burn the Shipsisn't necessarily "safe," but it isn't as aspiring as their earlier work. However, the album has some very bright moments and some more poignant ones as well. "[17]Wayne Myatt gave a more favourable second opinion in a Jesus Freak Hideout review, acknowledging "They [For King & Country] have toned things down a bit on this release," as the band enters a new chapter in life but recommended to the duo's fans and "perhaps those who favor the lighter side of pop and rock music".[39]The album came under scrutiny from an additional two cents piece by Jesus Freak Hideout's Alex Caldwell, describing the collection as "the tale of two albums", calling the first six tracks "being creative, energetic and compelling" yet the remainder are "b-sidesthat shouldn't have made the record. "[40]Christopher Smith was more optimistic in his Jesus Freak Hideout additional two cents piece, saying that the duo have crafted "their most cohesive album yet", deeming it "a highlight pop release of 2018".[41]In a NewReleaseToday review, Kevin Davis believes "The album once again demonstrates multi-talented musicianship with creative, insightful lyrics and ear-grabbing melodies."[14]Brandon Callies, in a positive On Tour Monthly review, optimistically expressed that the collection will impress the Christian pop fanbase, whilst asserting that the songs "really push the boundaries of what contemporary Christian music generally has to offer. There is certainly more mainstream appeal."[16]Robert Berman lauded the album in his review atWorship Musician Magazine,declaring thatBurn the Ships"deserves a listen from all fans of hopeful, faithful pop".[15]Abby Baracksai specified in a perfect five-out-of-five rating track-by-track review for Today's Christian Entertainment, that the album is "absolutely fantastic. The music is wonderful and the lyrics are impactful."[23]Today's Christian Entertainment, along with NewReleaseToday andCCM Magazinedeclared that the album is one of the best/top Christian records of 2018.[23][14][37]
