In God We Trust

Unquestionably Stryper's strongest and most rockin' album, To Hell with the Devil was a tough act to follow. Instead of following it up with something equally intense, the band stressed its pop side on the uneven and disappointing In God We Trust. Though not quite as big a seller as To Hell with the Devil, the album quickly went gold and fell short of platinum. In God isn't a terrible album by any means, and it does have its moments (most notably, "Come to the Everlife" and "The Writing's on the Wall"), but on the whole, the material isn't very memorable. Quite often, Stryper sounds like just another MTV-friendly arena rock band. Only the more devoted Stryper aficionados should acquire this album.
