Letting Go

From the Artist
Letting Go was born in a small digital studio in her second bedroom. The recent years had brought much beauty, truth, pain, fear, scars, hope, and love into Angie's world, and all of these things needed an outlet. In the quiet small hours of the night, she sat by the light of the computer monitor and a few candles...hit "record" on the system...and simply opened up her soul and captured it on disc. She didn't edit what came out of mouth and her fingers, she didn't try to write for anyone but herself - she gave herself up to the purity and honesty of what was in the core of her being. She grew to love the songs that were in truth pieces of herself, and knew that her second album was written...and needed to be released. She also knew that to make this a reality, she needed someone who understood her perspective and passion, who possessed both the artistry and craftmanship to breathe life into the recordings, and who had the dedication and patience to pursue the project to its conclusion. Enter Randy Brock in the triple role of drummer/percussionist/guitarist, producer, and mix engineer. His elegant, deceptively simple drum lines and incredible attention to nuance are showcased on every track of the new album.

Product Description
Letting Go is the outcome of choosing love over fear.

Angie Arnold's haunting voice and powerfully ethereal piano weave undeniably emotional songs that chronicle a journey of the soul. Courage to take the leap despite the fall ahead...faith to know you will safely land even when everything inside of you screams otherwise...retrace this path with her, and listen for the echoes of your own quest along the way.

Product Description

With 6 albums under her belt, an active touring career throughout the U.S. and a string of accolades from the likes of The Washington Post, The Village Voice and The New Yorker, Susan Werner has become one of the defining artists of the folk music genre. Her songs effortlessly slide between folk, jazz and pop, and are delivered with a sassy wit and classic mid-western charm. Her new album "The Gospel Truth" explores the role of the Church in contemporary American life. Quite possibly the first "agnostic gospel" album, her new songs speak in a wide variety of voices, from faithful and traditional to the critical and even the unconvinced.

Definitely check this one out!.......2007-07-29

Susan Werner and the Gospel Truth is truly a gem. If you know her work already, then this is a no brainer, get it and you will enjoy it. If you are not familiar with her, then you are in for a treat. Susan is a real piece of work, I saw her at the World Cafe Live when she introduced The Gospel Truth and it was a performance to remember. Don't expect to take this one to your church group, but if you have a sense of humor and appreciate the role of religion in our lives go for it!

If you don't miss "That old time religion" but you do miss the music give this a listen!
Sunday Morning is particularly sweet.

Gospel Truth...it ain't no lie........2007-06-27

This CD is a real treat for anyone who wants creativity, honesty, thoughtfulness, originality and inspiration for their daily lives presented in tunes you can walk away singing. If thinking things through and living a right life are dear to you, you'll love this one. If you're not self-righteously judgmental and not afraid to look at yourself this CD can only delight you. Auburn Annie

The whole truth and nothing but.......2007-05-22

This is a great CD! Good vocals, good instrumentation, and great writing. Susan Werner takes on all comers - phony evangelists, exclusionary fundamentalism, and the boys club mentality of the Catholic Church. When she is not lambasting theocrats, she is expressing the contradiction and confusion experienced by those trying to make "sense" of spirituality and theological concerns. "our father" by itself is worth the price of the CD.

The Gospel Truth.......2007-05-16

Beautiful lady, smooth voice, good compositions. Commentary on religion, such as "How Can I Love One who Hates Me?" My family and my church choir members have just about worn out my copy and many have ordered their own.

A new direction.......2007-06-25

Circa Survive's Juturna left a lot of people schocked because literally out of nowhere, one of today's most talented bands was born. Now, Circa Survive have released their eagerly-awaited follow-up to Juturna, and does it live up to the expectations?

The album starts off with one of Circa Survive's best tracks "Living Together" which showcases some nice guitar melodies and leads. Anthony Green still shows off his vocal talents in the same manner as the previous album, while still writing captivating lyrics. The drums are still as present as ever with the odd-time signatures that constitute Circa's trademark. The drummer especially stands out in the track "The difference between medicine and poison is in the dose" where he leads off in a 16th note beat on the hi-hat.

However, this release just doesn't have the same feeling as Juturna which had an overall mood and just flowed with not a false note. Here, the band tries out some different directions with songs like "mandala" or "Kicking Your Crosses Down" which are honestly skip tracks. We just feel in these songs that Circa isn't as confident as in their other songs. In Juturna, every song was a standout and every song had a different effect on the listener. For this release, all songs are good but only a few stand out as being classic Circa Survive tracks.

That is not to say the record is not good, obviously it is phenomenal and definitely refreshing due to its unequaled originality. It also has that unique atmosphere that makes Circa Survive so special.

The artwork of the album is also very original with very beautiful drawings and nice fold-out pages which definitely add on to the evasive mood that Circa create through their art.

Overall, I would definitely recommend all Circa Survive fans to get their hands on this new release. Indeed, I may have found this release weaker than Juturna but some people may like it more, it's up to you. But one thing is for sure, it's that Circa Survive are definitely a stand-out band who are gonna be here a long time and that it will take a long time before another band bursts out onto the scene and surprises thousands of listeners in the way this band did.

Standout tracks include: "Living Together" , "Carry Us Away" and "Your Friends Are Gone"

Pierre Schifflers

wow.......2007-06-21

You guys saying you didn't like mandala or kick your crosses down are insane. Crosses is probably my favorite song.

This record is epic, almost mars volta like. This is an experience. This band is so exciting to be a part of. I don't listen to much rock anymore but I was so happy when I heard this album last week. The vocals mesh SO WELL with the beautiful guitarwork. I just cannot say how impressed I am.

The album creates a very atmoshperic mood for me, and is very psychedelic (Green does a lot of drugs - I saw him play on mushrooms once), so the creativity just oozes out of every pore. Do yourself a favor and listen to this asap.

Juturna Still Owns This...But Good Nonetheless.......2007-06-13

This CD contains the greatest Circa song I've ever heard, "Living Together". Absolutely gorgeous tune.

This album really has a few standout tracks but some of them seem kind of repetitive (Tracks 2 and 3 especially).

Juturna was definitely a more solid album all the way through. I would not put this CD off nonetheless, it has some really solid tunes and Kicking Your Crosses Down has one of the prettiest hooks ever.

Worth the wait.......2007-05-31

It's been two years since "Juturna" and Circa Survive has been busy with tour after tour. I was nervous about this album because the guys haven't had much down time, but "On Letting Go" doesn't disappoint. Anthony Green's lyrics and vocals are as close to perfect as possible, and guitars and drums have improved greatly since their first record. "On Letting Go" is amazing from start to finish, and it's a welcome reminder that good music still exists.

It was very helpful in unwinding! Found the technics easy to follow and relieved stress.

Great CD.......2007-06-05

I can't say enough about this CD. It is great to meditate to. If you just want to take a 20 minute vacation, it is possible with the help of Steven Halpern's music and sounds then Emmett Miller's soothing voice on this CD. Highly recommended!

The best I've ever encountered.......2006-07-01

This CD is the best I've ever encountered as far as relaxation CD's go. The first time I listened to Autogenic Stress Relief I was scared of feeling relaxed (because I don't know how to relax). The second time I was used to the process and it was wonderful. I can't brag on this CD enough. I can concentrate, I can focus, and I don't worry about things as much.

Beautiful Guided Imagery and Music.......2006-06-25

Emmitt Miller leads you thru four different relaxation sessions, each about 20 min. in length. His voice is very soothing and the background music is perfectly in tune with the guided imagery. The music is performed by Steven Halpern. I agree with the previous reviewer that the trip to the beach is the best one on the CD, but the others area very good too. You can use in the middle of the day or before going to sleep to aid in relaxation. Very much worth the money for this CD.

Please see my other reviews on Amazon.

The Ultimate Relaxation.......2005-02-27

Dear Friends,
I have been enjoying the use of this tape for many years. It has four separate 20 minute relaxation sessions on it. Some have muscle tension progressive relaxation exercises, which are fantastic. But my favorite session is "A Trip to The Beach." It is a guided imagery session that relaxes you, takes you on a trip to the beach, and guides you in seeing your body as healthy and strong. You can use this tape for an afternoon relaxation session, or you can use it as you go to sleep at night. Even though it will bring you "up" at the end, I have never had a problem just sleeping soundly through it when it is bedtime. I've used this tape when going through severe health challenges and stressful situations. My husband also enjoys listening to it at night. I highly recommend it.

Having long recorded as Palace Music or Palace, the enigmatic, elusive Bonnie "Prince" Billy continues to confound musical expectations. His latest may well be his loveliest, a series of meditations and tone poems on love and mortality, with the autumnal strains of a chamber quartet and the vocal counterpoint of Dawn McCarthy supporting Billy's tremulous expression of his surreal, stream-of-consciousness lyricism. Results range from the dreamy, bluesy "Cursed Sleep" and the evocation of a British madrigal on "No Bad News" to the discordant propulsion of "The Seedling" and the call and response of the folkish "Then the Letting Go." It all fits together in a manner that defies categorization and dares the listener to resist its aural seduction. --Don McLeese

Customer Reviews:

Just as Cave.......2007-05-31

A gorgious record. Oldhams music is becoming mature, aged like wood or spirit. A true treasure and one not to be missed unless you care nothing for poems. This release is on par with Nick Cave's masterpiece "No More Shall We Part". Both artists highly prolific, yet Will seems to be a tad more rooted. Simply amazing to have someone like him around in our lifetime. Sort of like Prefontaine. Go Pre...Go Will.

Chill.......2007-04-07

if you like the really chill BPB stuff, this one is for you. However, there are none of the rockin' type ones, so yeah good stuff

Inevitable, as if it grew out of the ground..........2007-02-10

This CD is for me, Will Oldham's finest thus far as a solo artist. It has all the sleepy, druggy quality you expect from him, but the backing vocals here provide a crystalline, almost fairport-convention-ish counterpoint to Oldham's soft, broken-in, guy-down-the-block-who's-deeper-than-you-thought-he-was voice. Will is crunchier than crunchy in terms of his hippiedom these days, but the music never suffers from hippie pretensions. The way he pronounces "stairs" on "Bad News" alone should tell you all you need to know about him and his "thing." To those who are mystified or put to sleep by this, you've missed a key factor in appreciating this stuff: it's meant to be modern folk music for mellow times. It isn't party music, and doesn't attempt to "rock" at all, and that's OK. He does three songs IN A ROW in waltz time, for chrissakes. The real kicker is that Oldham is so accomplished at 3/4 that you don't even notice until the third waltz that that's what you're hearing. This record has charms that many "mainstream" listeners might miss, and that's OK. If you wear sweatpants and watch "American Idol" and find Paris Hilton fascinating and are all broken up over the death of Anna Nicole Smith, this CD ain't for you. You may listen to your Coldplay and feel "sophisticated" and leave Bonnie Prince Billy alone, thanks very much. If you like to put on music, lay down and close your eyes and actually LISTEN and be transported somewhere, then you probably already own this. If you don't, then purchase it with all speed. It's mellow and satisfying, like drinking good red wine or reading a good mid-period Richard Brautigan novel. Nice.

No one else is writing songs like this..........2007-01-22

While this disc is not as good as "I See a Darkness" (certainly a member of the proverbial "deserted island disc list"), "The Letting Go" is terrific. BPB is so creatively prolific, giving his fans twists and turns that are almost always welcome (the disc with Tortoise is an odd choice, however). Standout tracks include "Love Comes to Me", "Cursed Sleep" and the title track, which maintains BPB's mystique as much as anything he's ever written. Any fan of Americana should begin to include the work of BPB in their disc collection. As a fellow with more than 500 discs, I can safely say that there isn't much more rewarding, thought-provoking music in my collection.

Beautiful; True to Form.......2007-01-09

When I was told that this album had strings on it to accompany the guitar, I was skeptical. Then I listened to it. The string accompaniment works beautifully. I don't know from what well Will Oldham draws the emotion with which he has performed album after album, but it runs deep and dark. The Letting Go is just another in his long line of exceptional albums that consistently deliver in terms of songwriting, music, and performance. I whole-heartedly recommend this album to both new listeners and long-time fans.

Less than relaxing.......2007-04-07

I'll go out on a limb and give this its first less than stellar rating. I found it excessively repetitive, and nothing personal but Ms. Miles' voice would not be my first choice for a relaxation cd. This is the first relaxation cd that my wife told me to stop listening to (for similar reasons).

The Best Ever.......2007-02-08

I cannot say enough good things about this CD. Since I started listening to it, only about 3 weeks ago, I sleep better, feel more confident, don't get so stressed out during the day and have become far less emotional. I have yet to listen all the way to the end. I pray that Ms. Miles does another CD using different images so that I have two CDs I can always count on. I would buy anything else she does whether it's a CD or book. This CD has had a bigger impact on my life than just about anything, including medication and therapy.

Didn't experience a thing until... I fell a sleep about half way.......2006-08-11

through the first time listening. very relaxing. I would recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic.......2005-10-05

I have found Ms. Miles voice is both soothing and reasuring. I found that I went into a deeply relaxed state, deeper than I have ever gone before. This is a remarkable CD and it really works. I feel it was done professionally and can't wait to hear more from her. I hope that she keeps up the great work. She really does come from her heart and I love the sound of her voice. It is facinating how eventually I drift so deeply that I loose her voice completely.

James Ramey

Incredibly effective!.......2005-04-08

This is the best relaxation CD or tape I've tried. The best part for me, because I'm terrible at visualization, is that Kimberly Miles doesn't try to force you to visualize complex or difficult to imagine nature scenes that may or may not be soothing or relaxing. She starts with simple muscle relaxation and then basically just commands you to start relaxing deeper and deeper and, amazingly, it works!

Impressed! .......2007-02-21

The first song I heard of AE was Be Still, and I didn't know who he was at the time, but I loved the song, then my brother started playing the same song and told me who he was and started playing more songs from his new cd and I immediately went to this website to purchase BOTH cd's. One of the things I love about his second cd is his lyrics!! They are AMAZING!! They portray the Lord and our relationship with Him accurately and biblically-very rare in Gospel and Christian music! I haven't heard his first cd yet(hasn't come in yet), but I do agree that it does have more of a CCM feel which is cool with me. I definitely wanted more of the "Be Still" kind of feel, but I love this cd! I haven't stopped playing it since I got it! His voice is AMAZING!! Excellent job, Anthony! Keep'em comin'! The world needs more artists painting accurate pictures of our Dad!

Crosses Generations.......2007-02-19

I am a -- year old mom and grandmom. I prefer to listen to Christian music, but my taste ranges from Southern Gospel to contemporary. Was looking for some good worship music and stumbled across Anthony Evans' music at his father, Tony Evans', website. Just hearing a short excerpt of one song from his first CD, I liked it enough to buy both CD's. This one is different from the first, more upbeat and diverse, but I love them both. I thought so much of Letting Go that I bought one for my twenty-something son, who also thought it was great. You will not be disappointed!

WOW!!.......2006-11-28

Let me just put it like this. I do agree with the other users that this album is much different from the first one. What I will say is that he(Anthony Evans) seems more comfortable with this style of music. Long have I been waiting for an artist who dares to be different for Christ without compromising the message. My favorite track is "Consumed," the boy gets down on this album in a unique way. If your tastes are not opened up to different styles of gospel music, then this may not be the CD for you at this point. To everyone else who has an open mind, go get this CD. My only regret is that it only has 10 tracks, but I would rather there be ten great tracks then a bunch of filler songs. This is AE's best album yet.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.......2006-08-11

I just got this CD a day ago and I am so in Love with it. I love almost every song. I just play this ablum straight through, for the most part. My fav. tracks are I Choose Now, Letting Go, Before You, Consumed, Meaningless, Love You With My Life, Whatever I Can't Erase, The Fight. Anthony Evans is a great writer and he composes lyrics so well. This album is annointed and you can just feel his passion for the Lord in every song. I can honestly say that I can relate to every song on his album. Anthony if you are reading this keep allowing the Lord to use you the way he wants to, this album truely touched me.

Liked It!!!!.......2006-05-01

I enjoyed the CD very much. The music is just a bit different from his first album, but the lyrics on songs like "Consumed" and "Whatever I can't Erase" certainly touched me deeply. Especially the beautiful viloin that opens the song, "Whatever I can't Erase" and the soulful beat to "Consumed." For me, it's a must buy...

That's it, I'm sick of this bickering..........2006-07-26

TOOL. There's the big debate, summed up into one word. Honestly, I can see both sides of it. Some reviewers are correct in saying that things like Earshot's lyrics are way off the high-water mark set by my favorite band, but anyone who says they sound nothing like Tool should go listen again with an open mind. True, most of the songs are missing the melodic complexity that people have come to associate with Tool in recent years, but "Get Away" and "My Time" could have been lifted straight off of Opiate. I'm serious, folks, listen to them again. OK, this takes one back to a time when Tool was in a much more raw and unrefined state, but there was some serious musicianship even back then. Just as there is on parts of Letting Go. I'll admit, most of these tracks probably won't turn out to be your favorite, but there are rare occasions when nothing else will do. Definitely a solid debut CD with a few standouts. Oh, and will you people PLEASE stop going on about "Not Afraid"? It is most certainly one of the WORST songs on this album, both musically and in its ability to hold one's attention. Try the two tracks I mentioned earlier, as well as "Ordinary Girl" and "This World". OK, "Misery" is pretty cool, too.

An Okay debut........2006-06-02

Earshot first album "Letting Go" is an okay first cd. It has some really good songs on it. Some of the cd happened to bore me though. I think Earshot's second album is 100 times better than their first. It's much more dynamic and just seems to have more interesting music. As for this band sounding like Tool, they do share the style but I don't think in any way are remotely close Tool's level. Maybe Tool just happens to inspire Earshot. There's nothing wrong with that. Tool is an amazing band. Anyway here are my song ratings...

1. Headstrong - 9/10
2. Misery - 8/10
3. Get Away - 10/10
4. Not Afraid - 10/10
5. Ordinary Girl - 9.5/10
6. We Fall - 9/10
7. Wake Up - 8.5/10
8. This World - 7/10
9. Asleep, I Lie - 6/10
10. Unfortunate - 7/10
11. My Time - 8/10

Grade: 84% B-

Anyway It's a good start for Earshot and an alright listen. If your a fan of them you should go out and purchase this cd. Then go purchase their next album called "Two".

IT'S NOT TOOL!!!.......2005-11-19

Anyone who tells you this group sounds like took only listens to the lead singers voice, which yes resonates maynard a little bit, but not a whole lot. the music is not progressive like tool's but rather build around simple melody blocks. When you want to learn about this band and maybe want to buy their cd, if you ask someone for a reccomendation and they tell you these guys sounds like tool, they flat out do not understand music. Earshot's second album, Two, by the way, was one of the best rock releases of 2004. check it out. This is a modern rock group. not damn tool. not tool in anyway. check these guys out.

Yes they do.......2005-09-30

For those who do not say they sound like Tool they have not really listened to them. Im saying they are a carbon copy cause I woudl be wrong. First they lyrics are different to me. Earshots seems to be less complex, the soudn however is somewhat similar. There have been a few articles where they even talk about how they model themselves after Tool.
With that said the album is alright, not the best in the world. For some reason it seems to me that most of the songs sound very similar.

Good... this sounds nothing like Tool.......2005-07-30

This band is alright. Not really my type of music, but alright. I only bought the CD because I was told it sounded very similar to Tool. I tried REALLY hard to hear the similarity, but found them to sound much more like Chavelle. I really don't see how people can say this sounds like Tool at all. They are different in just about every way possible. They are lacking as far as lyrical meaning. I wasn't impressed, whereas Tool's Lyrics seem to lick my soul. There are I believe 3 guitarists in this band, so even structurally they are far off from Tool.

For all who keep saying this band sounds like Tool, just stop... although I'm sure this band is flattered by it, they probably want their own identity. And to compare them to a band as musically evolved as Tool is just ignorant.

Instrumentation includes string quintet, oboe, flute, and piano. Combining faraway foghorns and ocean tides with the psychoacoustically-refined music of Arcangelos, this recording is leisurely and unhurried- designed to soothe and strengthen a fatigued nervous system.

Music to De-Stress .......2006-08-20

This is great student working music. Play it when the class is writing or reading for a gentle brain boost for greater concentration. This is just one in a series of music to work by. I bought 4 different titles. I highly recommend all of them. Just love it and use it everyday in my second grade class!

Great music to sleep by!.......2005-11-03

I bought this CD because I am a Mahler scholar, and the CD bases all of its material on bits and pieces of the third movement of Gustav Mahler's Fourth Symphony. While I am fascinated that this group chose a Classical work to rewrite and de-construct in this way, I found the several "variations" on the piece a little boring. On the other hand, I am not a fan of New Age music, but of Classical music. If you want to sleep, or to relax, this is the CD for you! You can just feel smug that you are listening to Classical music at the same time.

De-Stress to sleep.......2002-02-28

I play my Music to De-Stress CD every night while I'm going to sleep. The beautiful music and nature sounds are so pure and peaceful...You will be lulled into a deep and peaceful sleep effortlessly. My children have come to love this CD as much as I have!

With this disc, Chanticleer, the internationally renowned, all-male 12-voice chamber choir, celebrates its 25th anniversary. Presenting songs from earlier albums plus one not previously recorded, the selection displays the group's remarkable stylistic and linguistic versatility, as well as all the qualities that have made it famous: the impeccable precision and intonation; the pristine tonal purity; the deep, inner expressiveness; the infinitely variable range of colors, textures, dynamics and moods; and the incredible vocal control that allows voices to stand out as well as to blend into a seamless, sonorous whole. Not for nothing has the group been called "an orchestra of voices" with its ability to sound like a big band in chordal passages and to imitate bass pizzicati as well as patter-songs and gospel shouts. The sopranos take off into stratospheric heights with florid coloratura; it is hard to believe that these are male voices. The program ranges from Gregorian chant and liturgical music of the 16th and 17th century, through traditional and jazz-influenced folk songs and spirituals (some in deplorably bad arrangements), to works by contemporary composers. Chanticleer's mostly vibrato-less vocal style still reflects its roots in its original Renaissance repertoire, but the way the singers use their voices in the popular, jazzy songs makes one aware of the evolving kinship between the two traditions. Though primarily an a capella ensemble, Chanticleer is occasionally joined by various instrumental groups, from period instrument orchestras to a jazz trio, and Dawn Upshaw adds her radiant, smiling, unmistakably "real" soprano to a delightful, high-spirited performance of a Spanish Carol. This disc is a fine, varied sampling of Chanticleer's discography and should inspire listeners to search out all the complete albums. --Edith Eisler

My idea of heaven.......2007-02-17

If you liked Norman Luboff's Song's of the Sea's "Shenandoah", the price of this CD is worth it alone. That's why I ordered the CD. I heard Chanticleer's version and immediately ordered it. The rest is just the icing on the cake.

Then there is the one Kiri Tekanawa (sp?) offering, which is the only female voice on the recording.

Wonderful, but not quite the best of I had hoped.......2006-07-18

Some great material truly shines on this album, but I wsih that the group had been a little less populist in their choice of repertoire. There is a little too many arrangements and folk-like material, with the exception of the wonderful "Dulaman", and I would like to have heard some more varied repertoire. That said this is an excellent starting point for this amazing group.

A treasury.......2005-11-06

As you can tell from the samples, the music here is amazing and covers a wide territory. It is less obvious that much of this is available on other CDs. I am confident, for example, that "We Shall Walk Through the Valley In Peace" is the same track that you will find on their phenomenal and highly recommended gospel collection, _Where the Sun Shall Never Go Down_, and I see a number of familiar-looking titles from other CDs. My advice is: if you're looking for a broad sample of the group's repertoire, then you can't go wrong here -- but if you've already got several Chanticleer albums, then you'll want to check your existing collection for potential duplications before buying this 'treasury.'

Chanticleer: A Portrait.......2005-10-26

This is a marvelous singing group of all males with a little addition of Dawn Upshaw on a couple of pieces. They are thourally amazing at what they can sing with Male Voices usually unaccompanied. Obviously they have good strong Contra-Tenors that can manage the high notes without any problems. I would recommend this album to anyone who enjoys vocal music, unaccompanied and like Male Voices

Average customer rating: Awesome! This album is great! Now I have to say "Who in the world is Point of Grace?"

Awesome!.......2006-03-05

This group of young ladies is incredible. I saw them perform live at Hadlock Field in Portland, Maine, and they were unbelievable. I would love to see them release new CD.

This album is great!.......2004-04-17

This album is so great! I like most of the songs on it! 8 out of the 10 in fact, which would be 80% of the songs. That's pretty good in my standards (usually I only like 2 or 3 songs on an album!) I definitely like the words to the Darin's music, and I love singing along with my karaoke machine. I love to sing! :) This is probably the CD that I like singing along to the most. The songs on this album are very meaningful and definitely make you think. I hope that they will come out with another album one day. I really like this one! It's very good. Songs I Know Somebody (song 4), Samaritan Way (song 5), Take Me (Song 6) are especially good! This is such a great album with great songs. If you want a great album, buy this album. The debut is pretty good, too--but this one is the best of the two of the albums. Check out this album (...) It's great! :) It definitely earns 5 stars, if I could give it 10 stars, then I would. It's definitely one of my favorite albums, (...)

Now I have to say "Who in the world is Point of Grace?".......2001-07-26

These girls are AMAZING! There is nothing more like family harmony in this whole world, especially from these 4 girls. Their passion for God is revealed in the way they sing. It's obvious that they mean what they say. This cd and their debut cd are in my cd player CONSTANTLY! Oh, and about the Point of Grace thing, don't get me wrong, Point of Grace is an awesome group and are still on my favorites list, but The Darins have hit the #1 chart in MY book. You just can't get much better than this. The songs on this cd minister to me SO much. Someone Like Me is probably my favorite. This entire cd is totally awesome, as well as the girls who are on it. They are beautiful inside and out.I love them with all my heart. This cd is a must have though, and I can't wait for another one to come out. If the girls try hard enough, it might be better than this one. :) Keep it up!
