Daniel Says. . .

I bought this cd a few years ago after reading that it was listed as one of the top christian cds of the year. It lives up to the hype. Michael Tait and Toby Mac are the most "outfront" members of DC Talk; they put out excellent solo cds, but I heard little talk about Kmax's until the review. I gave it a try and have never been disappointed. KMax's artistry is not usually the easiest to digest immediately; one's understanding of his music deepens and broadens with every listening. Many times one hears excellent music which you love right away, but sometimes excellent music is meant to grow on you. Both are excellent. When I listen to "Stereotype B" I hear songs which I try to harmonize with for the umpteenth time and songs which I'm still trying to get my mind around. Still makes for an interesting album that will likely never grow old on me. KMax has a great voice. He is a super harmonizer, making Michael Tait's voice sound that much more impressive, but KMax can hold his own with the melody. Harmony is usually harder to sing anyway, which shows us who probably has the better voice in DCTalk--and that's saying a lot with Michael Tait in your group.
