Talented Band.......2007-03-22

I did enjoy half of the songs on the CD but the other half were ok.
Even though this is a band, the lead singer has the potential to venture out on his own. He is a great singer. I always loved they way he sings.
I hope Mint Condition will be coming out with another album soon.

Mint Condition Review.......2007-01-11

A couple good songs from the past but that is about it.

answer for Benny "999 classic".......2006-07-02

If I am not mistaken, the cut you spoke of "you're all I need" is actually a verse from the song; "make me say it again girl," by the Isley Bros. It is available on the CD entitled: "The Heat Is On." You do not have an email address listed so I had to put the answer in the review section. Hope this was helpful.

Every bit as good as Jodeci, Boyz II Men, TTT and Dru Hill.......2006-03-20

Mint Condition was one of those groups of the '90s that played the background behind Jodeci, Boyz II Men, Tony Toni Tone, Dru Hill (and to a lesser extent, 112).

But technically, Mint Condition had better production and could hang with any of the aforementioned as singers, entertainers and musicians.

This Collection is a great listen for MC fans and a good introduction to potential new fans.

Their standout tracks were the radio hit singles "You're Breaking My Heart Pretty Brown Eyes" and "U Send Me Swingin'." They're both slow groove-kina songs with high energy and great sangin'.

I only gave this LP 4 Stars instead of 5 b/c it didn't have their last great radio hit from 1997-98 "If You Love Me (Like You Say You Do)."

I LOVED that song back in the day and really felt like that single would've made this album absolutely complete.

A must own for CCM fans.......2004-06-21

I have loved this couple ever since they started around 1992. Christine Dente has a unique voice that is lilting and powerful at the same time, and Scott Dente is an unbelievable guitarist and terrific songwriter. Together they are one of the top 5 artists in CCM in my book. This collection is a fine start to those not familiar with OOTG. As is almost always the case with "greatest hits" collections, there are songs you wish they had included that were left out; in my case, I wish they had included "Shape of Grace" from the album of the same name, and "Unfolding" from the "Diamond Days" album which both Scott and Christine have mentioned is one of their own favorites. Still, this is a great album and highly recommended to any fan of Contemporary Christian Music.

Buy This One First.......2002-11-22

If you're not familiar with "Out of the Grey," this should be the album you buy first. It contains a great selection of the best tunes from their first five albums.

Scott and Christine Dente, the husband and wife team headlining the group, have produced a great body of work over the years. I would characterize it as soft rock with subtle, uplifting themes. Christine, the lead singer, has an amazingly pleasant and delicate voice that exudes a unique blend of both confidence and vulnerability. Scott is a master of the guitar and contributes great background and occasional solos. He also adds brief vocals in many of the songs.

If you buy this album and want to hear more, my recommendations would be, in this order: (1) Diamond Days (1994), (2) The Shape of Grace (1992), and (3) Gravity (1995). Virtually every song on these albums is both memorable and uplifting. Their original ablum, Out of the Grey (1991), and their fifth ablum, (See Inside) (1997), I found less appealing and would recommend only for collectors of their work.

Remembering Out Of The Grey.......2000-04-13

"Remember This-The Out Of The Grey Collection" is a collection of Scott & Christine Dente's best songs from their first five releases. From the title song of their self-titled debut in 1991 to their remix version of "Wishes" in 1998, every song is like a story the Dentes are telling. The best songs on this collection includes the orginal 1991 "Wishes," which ends the album, plus "You're The One I've Been Waiting For," "If I Know You," "He Is Not Silent," "Nothing's Gonna Keep Me From You," and "All We Need." A majority of their album is from material from "Diamond Days" in 1994 and "Out Of The Grey" in 1991. "We May Never Get To Paris," from their '95 release "Gravity," is the only lone track to make it on this collection. It's a great song that you would hear at a cafe in Paris (if I were there, that is.) "When Love Comes To Life" and "Stay Close" (both from "Gravity") should have been added to the album. "Disappear" and "Not A Chance" are the two stand-out cuts from their last studio album, 1997's "See Inside." Two new songs are in the mix: "Walk By Faith" is a song that you would sing-a-long in the chorus to remember that "not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit." And "This Is What It Is" is another new cut about the steadfastness of God's love and forgiveness. An instrumental called "Way Late" is masterfully done by Scott Dente on guitar sounds like he and another guitar great Phil Keaggy should do more jam sessions. "Way Late" was recorded during the "Diamond Days" sessions but was never released. Portions of the track was heard at the end of a song called "Eyes Wide Open" and at the end of "Love Like Breathing." It's a great "best of" album of remembrances and memories of their songs when we heard them the first time around. Christine's vocals and Scott's guitar playing, as always, shine on and may God bless them for their efforts and continue on in their music.

Just a great collection.......2000-02-01

I picked up this CD after I saw Out Of The Grey in concert. It captures their almost 10 year history as an amazing musical duo. This is a worth while buy. Two things drew me into this CD. First, the amazing talents - guitar and voice. They are top notch, yet very under rated. Second, the lyrics. They are all thoughful and deep. One really gets pulled in by their meaning. Come on. What are you waiting for? Listen to some of the songs and buy it. You won't be sorry.

Classy, inspiring, hook-laden Christian Pop-Rock.......1999-02-22

"Remember This" is an outstanding collection of tracks from one of Christian music's most underrated acts. On this best-of CD, there are three new and/or previously unreleased songs, along with an updated re-working of a song from their first album. And, of course, a representative sampling from their previous five CD releases.

For those who may be unfamiliar, Out of the Grey is the working name for the husband and wife team of Christine and Scott Dente. What first attracted me to this duo's music was the silky smooth and hauntingly gentle vocals of Christine and the stellar guitar wizardry of Scott. Combine these talents with a repertoire of highly-accessible, hook-laden songs, outstanding supporting musicianship, introspective, yet inspirational lyrics, plus spectacular production from two of Christian music's best studio producers, and the results, here for the listening, are wonderful.

On the new tracks, the duo has reunited with producer Charlie Peacock who has manned the controls on all but one of their albums and is probably most responsible for the group's exceptional instrumentations. "Walk by Faith'" is an excellent example of the OOTG-Peacock working relationship; a crystal-clear, uptempo, guitar-driven, inspiring ballad that should climb the charts. "Wishes 98" is a contemporary remake of the first track on their debut album. A "techno" beat is overlayed onto the basic track, and even a flugelhorn and other jazz-oriented sounds are added in for effect. Too much "techno" for my tastes, but the results are intriguing nonetheless. "Way Late" is an instrumental that appears to be an extension of a song called "Eyes Wide Open" off of their "Diamond Days" CD. This track alone shows off Scott's guitar virtuosity.

My only concern about this release is that Greatest Hits albums often indicate a turning point in a band's chronology; i.e. changing direction, record companies, personnel or even a breakup. Hopefully none of this is on the horizon for OOTG.

Don't sing your eulogies too soon..........2005-11-01

Unsane are back, so no need to speak in the past tense.

This is an excellent collection of their studio work, full of more menace and sincerity than most bands can muster. I got this CD/DVD almost by accident, and boy am I glad I did. After seeing the band a few months ago at a small and grubby bar in Lansing where my hearing was duly pummeled and my money spent unwisely on cheap beer, I approached the merchandise table with $7. The stickers were gone and the CDs were all $10. I asked the guy manning the table what the coolest thing I could get for $7 was. He said, "you can have this, somebody spilled whiskey on it," and handed me Lambhouse! Hell yes. I listened to it exclusively for about two weeks straight.

I've now seen Unsane twice (nearly 10 years apart). I can say with conviction that Vinnie Signorelli is my favorite drummer of all time. He is like the ocean. They not only completely kick ass, they are also very cool, down-to-earth people.

THEE collection!.......2004-02-02

This is so amazing I can't even begin to talk about it... Unsane were such a terrifying, destructive unit - they never compromised and made originial, powerful and amazing music. Outrageously enough, most of their catalog is now out of print, however this eminent collection makes a very good effort to ratify that horrible mistake, bringing to us 6 songs from their final album, Occupational Hazard, 6 brilliant songs from their most famous work, Scattered..., 3 songs from their least good album, Total Destruction, 5 early, rare songs as well as 4 fantastic tunes from (in my opinion) their best work: the epinomious debut album. That album, especially the first side, is a stone cold classic, groundbreaking beyond description and contained killer songs like the ones featured here: Organ Donor, Bath, Cracked Up and Exterminator - songs that will literally blow you away. But the CD is not enough: they also managed to make a DVD that was actually of relevance and quality, featuring all of their videos as well as live footage. The 9 songs pulled from a recent performance in Brooklyn are really great, but the early footage look and sound like crap yet are bound to be enjoyed by diehards. Buy this or you'll be missing out on one of the ten or so greatest and most important bands of the 1990:s!

incredible collection from the greatest hardcore band ever........2003-10-28

ok-let me be the first to say that i too jumped on the unsane bandwagon after seeing and hearing "scrape".little did i know, as my ear matured, that i would be engulfed by such grungy hardcore tunes as those presented by unsane.all of their stuff is worth checking out,its just too bad i never got to see them live.every song is original,heavy,angry,heartfelt (not in a poppy way),and pure hardcore rock.great career guys.
