Bass guitar was played by John O'Boyle as current bassist Perry Richardson could not due to scheduling conflicts.[1] Critical reception{{Album ratings| rev1= AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|3|5}}[2] | rev2 = CCM Magazine | rev2Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[3] | rev3 = Jesus Freak Hideout | rev3Score = {{Rating|3.5|5}}[4] | rev4 = Sonic Perspectives | rev4Score = 8.3/10[5] }} Awarding the album four stars from CCM Magazine, Matt Connor writes, "Their unapologetic approach to stay true to their now classic rock/metal roots rewards longtime fans."[3] Andie Hardee, giving the album three and a half stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, states, "As impressive as the musicianship is, the songs themselves are also enjoyable."[4] Rating the album an 8.3 out of 10 by Sonic Perspectives, Alan Cox says, "Stryper is rocking so hard and well that even some close-minded skeptics are bound to be converted."[5] Wayne Parry, reviewing for The Washington Post, responds, "At an age where many heavy metal wailers dial it back due to the strains of decades of high notes, singer and guitarist Michael Sweet doubles down on his other worldly vocals."[6] The name of the album has been the source of controversy and has caused some Christian music retailers and even Walmart to not stock physical CDs in their stores. Michael Sweet has responded by saying, "We're disappointed. Stryper has always been about making people think outside the box. Our new album title, God Damn Evil, is a statement that's needed in our society. We've seen evil rise to new levels and this title is simply a prayer request asking God to damn or condemn all the evil around us. Many chains have joined us in making such a statement. Walmart, unfortunately, has not. The odd thing is of all the chains out there we assumed Walmart would be one to understand exactly what our point and purpose is. Unfortunately not. Although we respect their decision and what's done is done, it's frustrating to see something that's meant for good get misinterpreted and misunderstood."[7] Track listing{{Track listing| all_writing = | title1 = Take It to the Cross | writer1 = | length1 = 4:53 | title2 = Sorry | length2 = 3:53 | title3 = Lost | length3 = 3:44 | title4 = God Damn Evil | length4 = 4:05 | title5 = You Don't Even Know Me | length5 = 4:10 | title6 = The Valley | writer6 = | length6 = 4:13 | title7 = Sea of Thieves | length7 = 3:40 | title8 = Beautiful | note8 = | writer8 = | length8 = 4:03 | title9 = Can't Live Without Your Love | length9 = 4:43 | title10 = Own Up | length10 = 3:43 | title11 = The Devil Doesn't Live Here | writer11 = | length11 = 3:23 | total_length = 44:30 }}{{Track listing | collapsed = yes | headline = Japanese edition | title12 = Can't Live Without Your Love | note12 = alternate version | writer12 = }}{{Track listing | collapsed = yes | headline = Japanese tour edition{{citation needed|date=November 2018}} | title12 = Can't Live Without Your Love | note12 = alternate version | writer12 = | title13 = Loud 'N' Clear | note13 = 1983 Demo | writer13 = | title14 = Co'mon Rock | note14 = 1983 Demo | writer14 = }} PersonnelStryper
