I have to be honest and not set up to knock down later, this I did not like. Reasons why, you ask? Acappella praise and worship, the cover tells me. Now, I quite like acappella - Take 6, barber shop, etc. What confronted me was at best a wall of vocal elevator music which set my teeth on edge. This album is seriously over produced. It is not just middle of the road but actually painting the white lines. The harmonies are soft, the voices aren't stretched, there was no sense of wondering how they managed to get "that" sound on any song and the American accents are so strong that they hang in the air even after the song has finished. On top of all that, 16 tracks, many under two and a half minutes long, and I didn't even know one of them! Over produced, over priced, over here.
