Tonight

Upbeat.

The lead song, Tonight is muy beuno with a sweet flowing sound. "With hearts that want more tonight" is there any reason to wait any longer? Following the same vein are Start Somewhere and City on Our Knees. Start Somewhere says to me--after all it's just the world stuff, put it aside and get moving on what God wants. City on Our Knees has a soft rhythem background, but it's the words that are important here. If something's important enought to do, what are we waiting for? "Two world's collide"--says to me--endless possibilities of what we can do, where we can go. Loud N Clear, is cute, Trudog is a crackerjack, but no pressure here, on this representative of the next generation. Showstopper is upbeat, kids just having fun in a positive way. This is heavy beat song, so instead of just lean with us, get ready to jump with us. Get Back Up is likeable, having two different styles that work well together well, but that's tobyMac, I can hear--love calling, love calling-- in the back of my head in some difficult situations. Captured has the hint of "Consume Me", let me get into God more and more. A heavy idea, but what I like most is the scrappy sound. Changed Forever is a bang up perforance by Nirva, a just love it sound with a big league message. Hold On--now did I hear that right? "Hold onto The Hand that's holding you" What a concept--God's already got a hold of me, but I have to take an acitve part and hold onto God, too? And then, Break Open the Sky, love that easy does it Jamacian influence and a reminder this world is not our home, "waiting for a crack in the sky" beautiful way to end the album.

If you're looking for something fresh, I reccomend you buy this album. The first 4 tracks are really good. Tonight is a rock/techno song that I just can't get enough of. Get Back Up is a mix of Made To Love and I'm For You with a hot beat and a really nice bridge. Funky Jesus Music is the greatest party song Toby ever made.I would say its a mix of funk and hip-hop.We all know what City On Our Knees is. A great song. After that comes showstopper. This ones okay, but I'm not a big fan of it. If you like The Slam, and Extreme Days you'll love it. The next song I absoluetly love; it's called Changed Forever. During the verses and bridge he raps, and the chorus has a rock sound to it. Hold on is next and I would say its a softer version of City On Our Knees with a little bit of autotune.Next comes Tru-Dog with LoudNclear.This is a funny song and probably the best one tru-dogs ever done. The next song is probably the worse song on the album(probably cause I'm 16); Hey Devil. It reminds me of 80's or early 90's rock such as Stryper, And Wally from Total Axxess if you're reading this you better play more hip-hop! After that the rest of the songs are pretty good especially the remixes. The DVD was very interesting too. In conclusion I would say that this album has plenty of growth from Portable Sounds. It definatly has better beats with an electric sound to it cuz of the autotune. I think this song could win album of the year, I reccomend for you to get it if you want some good music.

I've been following TobyMac since his first albums with DCTalk came out without hiding away from using the "J-word". Whether it was Jesus being still alright, refusal to "tweak the word freak" just to get a song on the air or riding the "J-Train", his whole career (almost to the point where half his albums are from his solo career) can be summed up by the title of track 3: Funky Jesus Music.I am a huge fan of his collaborations in the past but this record hit me perfectly as 2 of my non-toby-related fav groups are Skillet (John Cooper assists on track 1, Tonight) and Relient K (Matthew Thiessen assists on track 10, Wonderin'). They aren't exactly getting 50% of the voice time but the songs are great and obviously influenced by the collaborator's style.The deluxe version has a few remixes, and while I'm a huge fan, I have to say... I'm kind of dissapointed we didn't get a total remix of Portable Sounds before this as we had with the first two albums. I'm guessing with a few already here, there won't be a total remix of this either.Personal Favs: Tonight, Showstopper, Changed Forever, Hey Devil and of course, the next episode in Toby's heir apparent, TruDog in LoudNClear.

There's a lot to like on Toby Mac's TONIGHT. Is it perfect ? No. But its got a lot going for it. Honestly, I'm not that crazy about the title track. But once I get over that hump there's some real high points including CITY ON OUR KNEES, a slow jam with a powerful message. SHOWSTOPPER picks up the beat and is a lot of fun. HEY DEVIL is a real rocker that paints a great word picture. Stylistically, and lyrically, START SOMEWHERE could actually be a sequel to  Livin' La Vida Loca . Certainly worth a good long look, and multiple listens, Tonight is another win in Toby Mac's column.

My being a very big fan of TobyMac makes it easy to say, I have favorite songs and when, I received the DVD included truly made it special.I love the DVD with the down home honest truth of the Man his friends and music ............. particularly the explanations of his relationship with Mr. Tait made it clear of the words to a couple of the songs I thought were really really great. I have a couple of family youth who actually cause me to really start listening to the words for I already loved the musicand I started to share/minister/encourage along with following Toby's uplifting music which introduced me to Michael Tait, and Mandisa whom I adore.The vendor service was excellent, and speedy.Thank you.

This is an awesome cd and I think anyone who enjoys TobyMac will be happy to add this one to their collection. He is an amazing singer and his music never fails to lift me up.

At first the album seemed far to mainstream to me, with the electronically altered voices and computer-made synths.However, after a while of listening to the songs, I realised they all carry a certain freshness and clarity,which many christian artists nowadays seem to lack.The vocals from Nirva Ready are beautifully soulful on 'Changed Forever', and I love the slight jamaican flavour infused with synths in 'Start Somewhere'.Definately worth buying!

this is a quality album, one of my favourites. It has some of the best Toby songs ever on it, great for raising the roof with worship, needs to be played loud

von wegen!!! Ich dachte früher immer, warum kommt von den Christen immer nur solche "Luschenmucke" um es etwas flapsig auszudrücken.Dann kam ich mehr durch Zufall auf Toby Mac und war total hin und weg. Auch wenn ich mich persönlich heute schwer mit dem Glauben tue, mag ich seine Message um Jesus.Einige Songs schafften es sogar in die WWE (Word Wrestling Entertainment).Die Songs schwanken zwischen Rock und HipHop und einigen weiteren Elementen. Der Stilmix macht echt was her und man kann kaum glauben das der werte Herr hier so unbekannt ist.Der klasse Introsong: "Midnight" ist in Kooperation mit John Cooper entstanden dem Frontman von Skillet.Von dem Prädikat "christliche Musik" sollte man sich nicht abschrecken lassen, denn der Sound ist einfach nur geil und läuft dem Teufel musikalisch im wahrsten Sinne den Rang ab.

Toller Sound mit Tiefgang.Christliche Musik muss eben nicht immer schwer, langsam und langweilig sein.Einfach einhören und selbst ein Bild machen.

Comment qualifier cet album : du grand TobyMac. J'aime et je recommande à tous amateurs de musique hiphop aux sonorités extrêmement variées. Et...un message d'espoir hors du commun pour les paroles.
