Although TPT aim to create interesting listening experiences for their audience, some of the lyrics and song titles will probably only make sense when you already know a little bit about their Christian background. The following track creates a lovely quite interlude in the second half of the album, with just piano and vocal, but the title Eleven (also the album’s title) is one I needed to think about. It seems to me it refers to the 11 disciples who remained true to Jesus, while lamenting Judas’ treason. (Then again, I’m still at a loss to know what their band name Ten Point Ten means!). However this may be, TPT kept the best track as the album’s grand finale. Introduced by a short bombastic treat, Fire and the Wind offers a sweeping, song by Joey McGee about life changing experiences. Around his acoustic guitar and voice, the band build up an emotional epic with pounding drums and soaring guitars. I have not mentioned the bass work on this album, but let me just say here how it is never flashy or over the top, but always spot-on and with feel.
