The lead-off track on Undone is Where You Lead Me. It's a slower than you would expect a lead-off song to be, but this fault is made up for in the lyrics. A solid song that gives hope for better things to come.
Unfortunately, that hope is lost on the very next track, Everything Impossible. This is an attempt by MercyMe to do a song with more rock stylings than usually on a MercyMe CD. Unfortunately, this attempt fails miserably. Not only does the music still come out sounding extremely like the pop music they normally do, but the lyrics are not nearly as strong as most of their songs. It's just not a good song.
Here With Me is up next, and it's a typical MercyMe song. This sounds like it bodes well for the song. Unfortunately, it's just an average MercyMe song at best. For fans of MercyMe and people who don't like MercyMe, this song is kind of a dissapointment.
The boys try again to do a song that is more rock than normal, and this time they succeed. In The Blink Of An Eye is the best song on the CD so far (which isn't actually saying too much, but it really is a pretty good song).
Unaware brings more hope back to this disc. It's a song that fans of the band have come to expect from them, and this time it's not just an average song...it's actually good.
But yet again that hope is crushed by the next song. Homesick shows that the third time around is not working out too well for MercyMe. It's another song that fans should be accustomed to that just does not deliver like it should.
Luckily, When You Spoke My Name gives us another good MercyMe song. That's all you can really say about this song...it's just plain good.
And with this next song, we find that four out of the past five songs have actualy been pretty good. A Million Miles Away is a return to the great writing that MercyMe is known so well for. This might be the best song on the disc.
Caught Up In The Middle is...well, it's really just mediocre. Nothing all that catchy about it, nothing really spectacular. It's just average.
To sum up this next song, Never Alone, a line must be stolen from American Idol's Simon Cowell: "I heard it, but it was like, 'So what?'"
The title track is MUCH better. Undone proves that if MercyMe is going to stick with songs like those they've been successful with, they need to bring more songs like this: simple music, shining vocals and awesome lyrics.
Shine On is another song that actually works for MercyMe, mostly because of the lyrics. It's a great reminder to us as Christians: "Just let your light glorify the One who shines on you...I believe we worship Christ when we show the world His light."
Last up is Keep Singing. The beginning of this song leaves something to be desired, but it does get better. Toward the end it hits a peak, but then it just sort of dies again. Not a great way to end the disc.
Summary: MercyMe left Spoken For with minor flaws, but nothing too bad. Unfortunately, they fell flat on their faces with Undone. Most of the songs are just not good. This CD isn't something that many MercyMe fans will enjoy, let alone those who have never heard of MercyMe or don't like them.
