ABOUT THE ALBUM

Originally released in 1988 on Broken Records, Ten Songs by Adam Again stands as a landmark recording in the evolution of Christian alternative music—bold, gritty, and undeniably ahead of its time. With this 2025 deluxe Collector’s Edition CD from Retroactive Records, the album receives the reissue treatment it has long deserved: remastered by Rob Colwell, housed in a jewel case with a high-quality O-card sleeve, and featuring a 12-page lyrics insert booklet with rare band photos. Every CD also includes a limited-edition Adam Again collector card, available only with this pressing.

Driven by the artistic vision of Gene Eugene, Ten Songs builds on the foundation of their 1986 debut but leans deeper into groove, mood, and lyrical complexity. The album blends elements of funk, soul, and post-punk, echoing the influence of R.E.M., Talking Heads, and The Cure, yet sounding entirely its own. From the raw confession of “Eyes Wide Open” to the soulful and stunning cover of Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine,” the band crafts a sound that is both emotionally vulnerable and musically adventurous.

This is the only Adam Again album to appear in CCM Magazine’s 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music (ranked #55), and it holds the #138 spot on the CCM’s 500 Best Albums of All-Time. Critics and fans alike continue to celebrate it not just for what it meant in 1988, but for how it still speaks today—with authenticity, urgency, and a rare kind of spiritual honesty.

Ten Songs by Adam Again is more than a cult classic. It’s a defining statement from one of the most important underground bands in the history of faith-informed music. This reissue invites a new generation to hear it as it was meant to be heard—unfiltered, undiminished, and undeniably essential.
