{"product_id":"petra-never-say-die-remastered","title":"Petra - Never Say Die [Remastered]","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 1981. Something happened between 1979 and 1981. Petra's 4th album Never Say Die took a turn to very AOR\/Def Leppard-ish like approach compared to the Air Supply approach of Washes Whiter Than, dropping rockers like \"Chameleon,\" \"Angel of Light,\" \"Without Him We Can Do Nothing,\" \"Father of Lights\" and \"Praise Ye the Lord.\" It became very clear that this band was headed for Christian Arena-Rock Stardom, leaving the classic mellower style behind and forging a new path towards 80's epic Christian rock band status and success that few bands enjoyed. You'll understand after listening to it how Petra went from hand to mouth to become Christian Music's first stadium rock band and indeed the genre's first supergroup putting on a show like Styx or Kansas traveling with a stage set-up that required 3 semi-trucks. This album is the all-out assault on the forces of darkness. Yes, it was militant like, and yes we all officially enlisted in God's army after hearing it. From the graphics to the lyrics, to the stage set-up, Petra officially waged war on the enemy but also on the complacency of a Christian band that just wanted to rock, and rock they did. Only getting better with each and every album. The fact that this album was never on a CD alone by itself rather than on a 1988 double album with Washes Whiter Than surprises many to this day. Thankfully it's now been remastered (and reloaded). Never Say Die is finally on a stand-alone CD complete with trading card and an 8-page booklet with lyrics and photos in a jewel case. Arena rock never sounded or looked better.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Coloring Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChameleon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngel of Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKilling My Old Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWithout Him We Can Do Nothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever Say Die\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can Be Friends with You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Annie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFather of Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePraise Ye the Lord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 763416069978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Girder Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.29.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"First City Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48706562687195,"sku":"656515","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/1609\/5451\/files\/4384902-3286374.jpg?v=1777336088","url":"https:\/\/firstcityrecordstore.com\/products\/petra-never-say-die-remastered","provider":"First City Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
