Momentum

I must say that between the ex-dcTalksters, Toby McKeehan(Mac) has definately got the best fresh solo album out now. Kevin Max and Michael Tait just didn't quite cut it in my book. Toby Mac combines many aspects of music into this album that seemed kind of..... limited in days of dcTalk yore. The album has a combination of hard rock beats, hip hop twists, and reverberating sound-effects that really kick-it-up a notch.
Kickin' it off with "Get This Party Started" was a sweet opening to the album as it loosens the listener up to what the rest of the album has to offer. Moving on to "Irene", this song deals with the life of a young girl who is just seeking a friend and finds it in God...... like many of us try to do. "Momentum" tells of Jesus' ever present spirit and reign among us as a Christian populas plus it adds many up-beat musical tunes on this track. With songs like "Yours" and "Somebody's Watching" (an awesome remake to Rockwell's 1984 hit), Toby Mac presents the message of God's compassion to us and how we should respond. "Wonderin' Why" actually answers a lot of questions as to why dcTalk split up, surprisingly. This song is for those who are anxious to learn as to why the break up occured. "Extreme Days" is a cry to both the world and to God as Toby Mac goes all out on this song (the one generally what most people buy the album for).
I strongly suggest "Momentum" if you're into 'headbangin' hip-hop'........... or something like that.

I have to admit, up until a week ago, I had no idea who Toby Mac was. I went to Lifest, a Christian music festival in Oshkosh, WI and he was one of the first acts. His concert was my favorite of the four days, and I purcahsed his CD right there and then-and it was a good investment. This album has all the infectious and awesome energy of other artists I know, but the message is just so powerful and fresh that it's a great combination to listen to. I wasn't ever a really big fan of rock or hip-hop/rap, but this album is awesome. I haven't stopped listening to it since I bought it!

a great cd by the point that this is still godly music but has a feel for todays kind
