}} ''Move'' is the tenth studio album by Christian rock band Third Day. Released on October 19, 2010, the album was the band's first after guitarist Brad Avery left Third Day. The band wanted the album to be a departure from the modern rock stylings of ''Revelation'' (2008), intending to show more of their southern rock roots. Third Day chose to work with producer Paul Moak on the album and recorded it at their own studio, feeling it offered them more creative freedom. Primarily a southern rock album, ''Move'' also has significant influence from gospel music. ''Move'' received positive reviews from music critics, many of whom praised the album's southern rock sound. It was nominated for multiple awards at the 42nd GMA Dove Awards, winning in the Recorded Music Packaging of the Year category. It sold 37,000 copies in its first week of release, debuting at number nine on the ''Billboard'' 200, number one on the ''Billboard'' Christian Albums chart, and number three on the ''Billboard'' Rock Albums chart. In the United States, it ranked as the twenty-third best-selling Christian Album of 2010 and the fifth best-selling Christian Album of 2011. The album's four singles met with varying success at Christian radio, all of them appearing on the ''Billboard'' Christian Songs chart. ==Background and recording== ''Move'' was Third Day's first record without guitarist Brad Avery, who left the band after the recording of their previous album (''Revelation''). After he left the group, the band felt they were at a musical crossroads; although they considered replacing Avery, they ultimately decided not to. After playing a few concerts without Avery, Third Day felt they needed to step it up musically.〔 The band's induction into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame also served as inspiration for the record. Although the band felt that they had previously reined in sounds that were too southern rock in sound, they decided to show more of their southern roots in the record. Bassist Tai Anderson said that although Third Day felt ''Revelation'' was a "career record" for them, they felt they "just couldn't just make 'Revelation Part II.' It needed to feel different". The band chose to record the album in their own studio, which they felt offered more creative freedom than their previous recording process in Los Angeles.〔 The also opted to work with producer Paul Moak, whom the band ultimately developed a good chemistry with. All the songs on ''Move'' were either written or co-written by Mac Powell.〔 ''Move'' was produced by Paul Moak, who also handled programming and some engineering. The album was recorded at The Quarry in Kennesaw, Georgia and The Smokestack in Nashville, Tennessee. It was mastered by Chris Athens and mixed by F. Reid Shippen and Erik "Keller" Jahner. Along with Paul Moak, Andy Hunt and Justin March also handled engineering on the album.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Move (Third Day album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
