5.0 out of 5 stars Great message, awesome music... 
Powerhouse is White Heart's first album with Brian Wooten on lead guitar and the difference is obvious! I think that White Heart put it all together for this album, meaning the message and the rock music quality is both very strong. Let's look at the songs! 
1) Independence Day (9/10). This is a great rocking song with a 55 second introduction which is a recording of a parade with some famous speech cuts about freedom thrown in. The song itself is great...upbeat and hard rock! I have always loved this song! 
2) Powerhouse (9/10). One of, if not THE, hardest rock songs ever done by White Heart. Nothing fancy about the music, just strait rock with plenty of guitar muscle and a great encouraging message! 
3) Desert Rose (8/10). Not one of my top ten White Heart songs, only because I prefer harder rockers to ballads. That being said, this is a top notch ballad where, in my opinion, Rick Florian really shines as bright as ever...beautiful and goose bump worthy!! 
4) Lovers and Dreamers (7/10). Solid rock song. good message. 
5) Nailed Down (9/10). Get past the noisy beginning and this is pretty good rock. 
6) Messiah (10/10). I absolutely LOVE this song!!! Fantastic mix of message and first rate rocking! Certainly one of WH's top ten ever songs! We need a Messiah....!!!! 
7) A Love Calling (8/10). Beautiful long ballad with great fade in to..... 
8) Answer the Call (10/10). My personal favorite from this album...awesome vocals by Rick, great bass and guitar solos, and a message that every Christian needs to meditate on. 
9) Storyline (8/10). Most applicable message on the album coupled with catchy rock chorus and verses. I think it would've made the cut as a single...just not as heavy as I prefer. 
10) Lay It Down (7/10). Nice quiet ballad to close this lp out. Again, White Heart does a great ballad, but I prefer their harder stuff. Great job by Gersh on the vocals though! 
Powerhouse is certainly one of White Hearts stronger albums. You won't be sorry for buying it! Get everything from White Heart, at least from 'Don’t Wait for the Movie' and later.

Great melodic album. Florian has a fantastic voice. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
this is a great album, good guitars excellent vocals. 8.5/10. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
this is one of my favorite Christian rock bands ever. They really know how to rock. I love the new guitarist, Brian Wooten....I wonder what he's doing today. Of course, Rick/Ric/Rique/Rikc/etc Florian rocks with the vocals and I like Mark Gersmehl (THAT'S HOW YOU SPELL HIS NAME!!!!) lends his vocals and keys and I really think he adds to the sound a lot. Probably my fave album.

GREAT ALBUM! Hear the fantastic ballad 'desert rose'...and you'll know what I mean.

Good Melodic Rock album, buen album donde destacan las baladas de buenisimo nivel y el rating correcto 9/10. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Killer Release from the best AOR band ever, but nothing their best Independence Day, Desert Rose, Lovers and Dreamers and Storyline are my favorites 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
a classic. I agree the new guitarist Wooten is quite the monster here. He plays very well with great style. This album was white heart at their peak. Full of energy worth buying without doubt.

a very rare and remarkable christian rock record. super production by bill drescher (witness).if you forget track 10 (too much variety), you stay with nine fantastic songs. this record is very varied and always excellent. pure class hard rock "powerhouse" an extraordinary ballad "desert rose"a big toto influence "lovers and dreamers" a big legend seven influence "nailed down" a big noiseworks influence "messiah" a real hit "answer the call" two beautiful songs "a love calling" "storyline". A beautiful LP: high quality of music well produced and well sung.
