The first Petra album we bought was "Never Say Die." At the time my wife and I lead a folk youth group for our church (long before pop band "Worship Teams" were the rage). We heard "The Coloring Song" on the radio and she wanted to learn it so we could use it. She called me at work and said something like:

"Well, I liked the coloring song, but the next song on the album was VERY different. I think you're going to like the album better than I do."

I cracked up when I heard the album. "Chameleon" follows and it starts with a screaming guitar lick. I could just imagine her reaction. She's got a Bachelor's of Music in performance on the bass viol.

Another good one from that album was "Prase Ye The Lord."

Shalom.

That's a pretty funny story. More Power To Ya could generate similar incidents. The title song is very slow and melodic. Then after that soft, pleasant song is over, you get the backward masking (which at that time sounded very eerie and discomforting) followed by the rather heavy metal guitar opening for the driving song "Judas' Kiss".
