Album Review: The Big Picture by Michael W. Smith (1986)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5 stars
faithrockradio.us proudly declares this the quintessential, ultimate 1980s Christian album — synth-pop rock at its absolute finest. This masterpiece easily stands shoulder-to-shoulder with any secular release from the era, delivering high-energy faith-charged music that still uplifts souls and keeps minds on things above today.
From the very first notes, Michael W. Smith (Smitty) captures that perfect blend of soaring melodies, driving rhythms, and heartfelt conviction that defined the golden age of CCM. The album opens strong with the infectious riff of "Lamu" and closes with a beautiful "hidden" jazz piano track that leaves you reflecting in awe. Every song showcases some of Smitty’s finest work, full of innovation, heart, and spiritual depth.
Standout tracks include:

"Goin’ Thru the Motions" and "You’re Alright" — the two heaviest rockers in his repertoire, packed with energy that still rocks the airwaves on faithrockradio.us.
"Rocketown" — the iconic radio single and enduring fan favorite. Its synth-driven storytelling paints a vivid picture of Jesus praying over the city of "Rocketown," a powerful metaphor for places like Jerusalem and every modern metropolis in need of hope.
"Wired for Sound" — a theologically rich gem with a message that speaks to those who have ears to hear.
"Old Enough to Know" — a bold, timely anti-premarital s*x anthem for teens that was so impactful it even spawned a companion book.

In 1986, amid a vast lineup of wonderful Christian albums, The Big Picture stands tall as the very best in our opinion. Oh, to go back in time and catch Smitty live as the opening act for Amy Grant!
If you love the iconic ’80s and ’90s CCM sound featured 24/7 on faithrockradio.us — Petra, White Heart, Newsboys, Audio Adrenaline, and more — then The Big Picture belongs in heavy rotation on your playlist. It’s pure ministry in musical form: uplifting, timeless, and still electrifying hearts decades later.
Highly recommended. Crank it up and let the faith rock!
