When listening to the first song, Here Now (Madness), you can hear that the album is going to be distinctly different and new. The entire album is unique in comparison to previous albums that have been created by UNITED and in comparison to other music out there currently. Some may enjoy this newness, but others may prefer the more centered songs of UNITED. The song Here Now (Madness) has a different vibe to it. It also has a different flux of instrumentals throughout the song. This song may be too long for some but for deep worship I think anyone would find this song great. I think for so many of us, this album will reach us in a time of spiritual need. I think this song and the entire album was perfect for helping a believer to focus on God, His perfect Will, and plan for our lives. That He is in control and knows all! This song helped bring peace to the chaos around me. My favorite sentence in the song Here Now (Madness) is "Faith makes a fool of what makes sense, but grace found my heart where logic ends".

As I progressed throughout the album I felt like the songs were chosen to almost fit together, and that the instrumentals had the same flavor. All the songs tempo were similar in play. The songs and melody in this album will definitely change the atmosphere for corporate worship but I think that this album is meant to hit us when we are in personal worship, the type of worship music that you take into your prayer closet. All of the songs bring something sweet to the soul. The focus I believe throughout the whole album was to bring peace to our hearts through focusing on Jesus through personal worship and taking us into the presence of Our Lord when everything in our lives and this world seem to be at a loss. This album brings us into that place of boldness, to conquer the fear that causes chaos in our hearts, soul, and minds. In Say The Word  the chorus speaks "It will remain, And my soul will hang on every word you say, cause I know your word will never fail, and my soul will hang on every word you say".

Overall this album brought me comfort. Through the Spirit, God was speaking to United, in hopes to bring us music that will bring us peace and comfort in a time that we will need it the most. God knows what is coming, and what we will need to help us conquer and take spiritual authority over the enemy. In Prince of Peace, the chorus says "Tearing through the night, riding through the storm, staring down the flight, my eyes found Yours, shining like the sun, striding through my fear, The Prince of Peace met me there, You're always there, You heard my prayer". While listening to this song, it brought me into that intimate place with God. UNITED, Empires is amazing creation, drawling us into the Presence and nearness of God. Empires will be an encouragement to the young, old, healed, and broken.
