This is a good cd. The selection of hymns are not what I would call traditional but they are refreshing.

"Wow. I am just really surprised that there is only one other review for this awesome CD. I am a big Take 6 fan and I had never really heard of Glad until I ran across this title. I am just totally blown away by these arrangements. They are not quite as jazz-oriented as Take 6, but in my opinion this is every bit as cool--check out "Blessed Assurance", or "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling" in 7/8 time. In terms of tuning, Glad is really amazing; the chords simply jump out and grab you. If you like hymns or hymn arrangements, this CD will quickly become one of your favorites. The only thing I can't figure out is how so much mediocre and low-quality music get huge attention while gems like this are ignored! Spread the word! This CD is AWESOME!"

"Glad takes some of Christendom's most beloved hymns and puts a joyful modern spin on them. I can't help but think that the venerable writers of these hymns would be pleased by this uplifting CD. The close harmony of this group is wonderful to listen to, but when combined with the words of these traditional hymns, it becomes even more special. Whether they are singing the soaring "Fairest Lord Jesus" or the majestic "O Worship the King", Glad communicates the love of God in a new and refreshing way. The high voices soar and the lower voices provide a rock-solid foundation for a totally wonderful listening experience."
