CD Reviews

Disappointing latest release from a FIVE-STAR group

Reginald D. Garrard | Camilla, GA USA | 09/25/2005

(3 out of 5 stars)

"As one that has purchased every album by the 40-member ensemble (and rated each with no less than four stars), I am disappointed with the new album, for it features only seven original tracks ("Unity," "Heaven," "Put the Finger on Me," "They That Wait," "Over My Head," "I'm Movin'," and "Life").

The other five tracks were featured on the two of the group's earlier efforts. While artists occasionally "recycle" one or two cuts, Sounds of Blackness sets a precedent with having so many on an album that doesn't tout itself as a "greatest hits" package.

This marketing strategy may work for those unfamiliar with Sounds of Blackness's body of work but it's rather disheartening, and insulting, to those of us that have followed, and praised, the group since its emergence in 1991 with the debut album "The Evolution of Gospel".

Even former lead singer Ann Nesby's appearance on the first two cuts is no cause for celebration for this mediocre offering.

'Love the cover, though!"

THE WORST ONE YET

"I AM ONE OF THE BIGGEST SOUNDS OF BLACKNESS FANS, BUT THIS CD SUCKED! I FOUND THAT THE LAST TWO TRACKS WERE OK, BUT THE REST WAS LIKE SOME BAD VERSION OF AN IMPERSONATING CHOIR THAT WISHED THEY WERE SOUNDS OF BLACKNESS!!"
