"I love this CD and yes it is very different but it is his style and that is what drew some people to him.... I do believe that Tonex is anointed for such a time as this.. alot of things that he preaches or sings about.. some people just choose to glaze over like its okay or non-existent... so yes I applaud his spiritual boldness to step OUT THE BOX and tackle what others chose to overlook to avoid losing friends or even in some cases their congregation.. I think that that those who are speaking negatively about him should try and look past his sound and appearance and listen to the lyrics... which they all hold truth... A lot of people are used to the "old time way" but that era is over.... we have new issues.. and even worse strongholds that are affecting our society today.. and we need more people like him who are not afraid to speak out against such things... I've seen him sing live and I've heard him preach and I have nothing negative to say about him... futhermore I dont think that we should try and bash him or try to weigh out his anointing or spirituality... that is srictly between him and God... everyone has their kinks to iron out so who are we to judge and say who has this much anointing and who doesnt.. I agree with the last reviewer who says that they hope that he takes care of his personal issues and hit us with a strong come back... I believe that he is and will continue to be a great assest to our generation today.."

WOW....AND I DON'T MEAN THAT IN A GOOD WAY

"I AM NOT A PRUDISH PERSON. I LOVE CREATIVE, TALENTED MUSICIANS BUT YOU CAN LOOSE YOUR AUDIENCE IF YOU DON'T BE CAREFUL.



I BOUGHT THIS FOR A SONG I HEARD BUT 80% THIS CD SOUNDS LIKE HE/THEY SINGING FOR THE "UNDERVERSE" AND NOT THE HEAVENS ABOVE. I WOULDN'T EVEN LABEL THIS AS 'CONTEMPORARY' BUT MORE LIKE "HARD-HARD ROCK".



IT IS MY OPINION THAT THOSE WHO LIKE THIS ALBUM IS JUST IN IT FOR THE INSTRUMENTATION & THAT WOULD MAKE THE ALBUM A COMPLETE FAILURE BECAUSE GOSPEL IS SUPPOSE TO TOUCH A PERSON BY THE WORDS MEANINGS.



AS SOMEONE WHO LOVES GOSPEL MUSIC...THIS CD----SERIOUSLY....CREEPED ME OUT SOMETHING TERRIBLE.



I UNWRAPPED THE CD ANXIOUS TO LISTEN TO IT. SOON AS I PUT THE "RED" CD IN MY CAR ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!!...CAN YOU SAY GARBAGE....! NO----- SERIOUSLY...I STOPPED MY CAR (AFTER LISTENING TO THE CD AND NO...I DIDN'T GIVE THE WHITE ONE A CHANCE) AND I LITERALLY WALKED TO THE GARBAGE CAN AND THREW IT IN...WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT AND GLAD TO DO SO.



THOUGH THEY ARE "CHANTING" SOMETHING, YOU CAN'T EVEN HEAR THE LYRICS ON SOME OF THOSE TRACKS (THE INSTRUMENTATION WERE SO LOUD)...YOU ALL NEED TO BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU LISTENING TO.



"PECULIAR PEOPLE"....ENOUGH SAID."
