Undone is much different than what would be expected following such monster success as Almost There. Rather than attempting to recapture the highly appealing magic of “I Can Only Imagine,” MercyMe’s newest guitar-driven studio effort is more mature, thought-provoking and musically experimental. Obviously, each member has grown a tremendous amount, both personally and professionally, in the last year. All six are married and three are now fathers. “Musically, we’ve grown probably twice what we grew between Almost There
and Spoken For,” says guitarist Mike Scheuchzer. “And none of us expected it.”

Indeed, Undone includes a few songs the band hoped they would never have to make. Although the band has experienced success beyond their boldest dreams, the last year has also delivered some of the worst blows of their lives. For instance, Millard had nine close friends and family members, including his 20-year-old brother-in-law, his uncle who was like a second father to him, and Bryson’s father, pass away between December 2003 and March 2004. The result is the most personal album of MercyMe’s career.

The CD’s title track, “Undone,” describes our never-ending quest for self-improvement. “We get so many different meanings out of it,” says Shaffer. “We’re undone from our freedom side of it or you could say we’re undone as far as we’re not quite to where we’re going yet. We’re constantly striving to get where God wants us. I don’t think that we’ll ever become ‘done’ until we’re in heaven.”
