"The Mission Bell is unafraid to challenge, chide and inspire all at the same time. From cavernous rock anthems full of swagger and scope, to intimate and at times painful confessions of failure and fear, this is worship music with teeth."–CCM Magazine

"…a soaring Brit-rock worship album and everything you’d expect from the group."–Worship Leader Magazine

"This is Delirious? doing what they do best-capturing the prophetic heart cry of a generation, setting it to music, and then playing it big and loud."–Christianity Magazine (UK)

"…a sonic feast that rivals their best work…"–Worship Musician

"The most diverse they've ever been, with a sound recalling Radiohead one moment, straight-up rock with a gospel choir the next, all with elements of a stripped-down, singer-songwriter feel… They still do what they do best—worship."–Christianity Today (4.5 out of 5 Star review)

"Ten years on, front man Martin Smith has a knack for writing words and melodies that end up on the lips of a million people."–Relevant Magazine

"The Mission Bell rings out with a defiant note of faith in these troubled times. It will surely resonate in the hearts of tens of thousands."–crossrhythms.co.uk (10 out of 10 Bars)

"Once again, Delirious? manages to set a standard…"–CMCentral.com

"There is much to enjoy in The Mission Bell that could well deliver the band a new army of worshippers." – indieLondon

"…raw passion…we’ve been aching for more of this sort of solid worship music..."–SoulShine Magazine (5 out of 5 Star review)

Uncompromising Christians in the lion's den of popular music, Delirious?'s world runs parallel to secular music - their records sell, their concerts sell out, but the main stream remains undisturbed. Now, the quintet have seemingly given up on non -belivers and settled to preaching to the converted. As a result, The Mission Bell is their most overtly religious offering yet, which helps explain the massed choirs chanting, "Jesus! Jesus!" on the stirring Now Is The Time. Musically, their isolation is shifting them towards polished, earnest-period U2 fuelled by the unbridled passion of singer Martin Smith. Still, as they must surely reflect in darker moments, without God they could be massive.

3/5 Stars. Eighth album from Britain's leading Christian rockers.

JOHN AIZLEWOOD [Q magazine jan 2006]

"Delirious? delivers a stellar collection of rock songs on The Mission Bell… that combines exciting music with deeply religious lyrics that lift one body, mind, and soul toward our Creator."– Group Magazine’s MinistryandMedia.com
