Nineteen Eighty Seven was released in 2005 on Girder Records and is an album from the Christian metal band Whitecross. The album is the band's comeback album since they elected to disband in 1998. This album also has Scott Wenzel and Rex Carroll together again for the first time since 1992. It is a remake of the original 1987 Whitecross debut album from scratch since the band felt that the original album turned out being a little too raw due to its limited budget and to now take full advantage of advances in studio technology not available twenty years ago. This album had all songs re-recorded except for "You're Mine". The bonus song "Love On The Line" was available before but only on the Love On The Line EP. The bonus song "Re:Animate" is a new song that was never recorded before. The bonus out-take tracks 12-15 were only on the original 2000 pressings. Girder Records, 2005.

Reviews For "Nineteen Eighty Seven"
True classic redone right

This was a great album when it came out originally but wow! I love the new sound and production of the Ninteen Eighty Seven. This album is a remake of Whitecross' 1987 self-titled debut. It also features some bonus songs as well. This is what the album should have sounded like in the first place. Everything from the drums to the sweet shredding guitar solos are re-recorded...no remix or reproduction, the songs were totally re-recorded by the band. I love it and recommend it as well as the original.
