Yes, friends of Christianity, your Holy Week 2024 starts today, Palm Sunday, and if you have been with this blog for even one year now, you know what this means: yup, it\u2019s our annual occasion to revisit \u2018The Greatest Album Ever Made\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>If you are familiar at all with the Holy Week narrative, you will hear it play out unmistakably on this album: from the manic opening track (\u2018Silver\u2019) suggesting Palm Sunday, to the desperate resignation of the record\u2019s final song (\u2018Ocean Rain\u2019, the title cut). And if you are not versed in this weeklong Passion of The Christ, this album will deliver a compelling &amp; artful musical interpretation.
