YMMV / Delirious

Go To

The band:

  • Broken Base: First there was a mild case of this when King of Fools contained tracks that didn't sound like the congregational worship songs from the Cutting Edge days. Then it reached a fever pitch with Mezzamorphis, before finally becoming a full-blown epidemic with Audio: Lessonover?. Subsequent albums generally went for more of a "happy medium" between Delirious? the worship band, Delirious? the rock band, and Delirious? the mainstream pop band, and fan reaction seemed less polarizing as a result, but they never quite seemed to regain the same level of popularity that they had in the 90s.
  • Covered Up: No, SonicFlood did NOT write "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever".
  • Epic Riff: Oh so many. "Deeper" is their best known example, but there's also "I'm Not Ashamed", "Bliss", "My Glorious", "Grace Like a River", "God Is Smiling"...
    • "Obsession" has an epic bass riff.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: They're surprisingly popular in South America, to the point where one of their final live albums was recorded in Bogota, Colombia, rather than in the US or the UK.
  • Narm: The cheery female backing vocals in "Waiting for the Summer" can be rather polarizing. There's a reason why the US audience got a completely different mix of the song.
    • A good portion of the old Cutting Edge recordings can come across this way if you're not into the more touchy-feely side of contemporary praise music.
