Taking a cue from the sonic blueprints of Peter Gabriel and Coldplay, Where The Light Gets In also finds Gray at the top of his game musically. Largely a musing on the failure of his long-term marriage (personal failings might be the toughest kind of darkness to overcome), Where The Light Gets In could be one of the best albums of its kind, the rare species that addresses darkness without wallowing in it, and juxtaposes personal failings in light of the awesome grace of God. On album after album, Gray pokes at the darkness like few writers in Christian music do, exploring the subject with both humility and heart-breaking expertise. Jason Gray seems to be on a mission to address this oversight. In the name of being "positive," much of what gets airplay and exposure is shiny, happy music that fails to adequately or fully address the reality of the fallen world we live in. And, oddly, Christian music rarely addresses this darkness well. Whether it's the news headlines blaring out from a television or the news stand, or information on a more personal level-like the personal failings of a friend, or a family member's medical test results-the darkness of this world finds its way into every corner of our lives.
