Warning: Listening to this music may cause structural damage to your home and disturb the neighbors. If you are looking for today's freshest Christian rock, gospel, and hip-hop bands mixed together with a techno-pop twist your quest has ended. This high-energy music is designed to stir up your spirit with rooftop declarations of God's greatness, and cheer you on toward a spirit-filled faith. Including the likes of DC Talk, MC Hammer, Rebecca St. James, and World Wide Message Tribe, these hyped-up dance grooves cut loose the rhythm and brandish outer-space transmissions to create interstellar buzz. The spectacular arrangements are the creative thrust of this project--these familiar songs have gone through a rebirth and become a multidimensional presentation for the ears that delivers surprises around every corner. More than just a various-artists compilation, this album replaces the need for your daily vitamin energy pills. --Israel Button --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

good fun music.......2006-02-13

this a great album. if you are having a party, or going to a party in your car, or partying all alone in a room in front of a mirror, this is the cd that should be playing. 10K is by far the catchiest song ive ever heard.

Great for work outs!.......2005-11-12

I really enjoyed this C.D. I really enjoy upbeat music, and having Christian music that I can move to is a treat. I often use this while doing my treadmill. It is also great for the annual harvest party cake walk at my church. If you are looking for Christian dance beat this is a good pick.

Great Up-beat compilation.......2005-09-17

This CD is great for workouts. The music is very upbeat and the remixes are incredible.

Basically a Christian "Jock Jams" knockoff.......2005-07-14

You could question whether this was really NEEDED, but since it's here, how did they do? Well, for the most part the "cheer" intermissions fall flat. They don't really connect with the sports theme and they tend to interrupt the album's flow. The album also should be mixed continuously for the sake of a non-stop listening experience but this wasn't done.

HIGHS:
Not surprisingly since dance-tempo music works best at these types of events, it's the more overtly dance numbers that fare best. A Quinlan (the guy behind Benjamin Gate) remix of Rebecca St. James' "I Will Carry You" is club-worthy, as is a remake of 60s nugget "What the World Needs Now (is Love)" as an uncredited gospelly singer handles verses with Considering Lily on the choruses. A remix of Carman's "People of God" is surprisingly funky. The "full throttle mix" of Audio Adrenaline's take on Edgar Winter's "Free Ride" is fantastic.

The other good numbers (DC Talk's "Jesus is Just Alright" Doobies cover, World Wide Message Tribe's clubthumper "The Real Thing",M.C. Hammer's "Pray", and Lakita's "Speak to the Hand") are available on other CDs so they aren't reasons to buy this in and of itself.

LOWS:
Anyone else notice that the Christianized remake of Grand Funk's "Some Kind of Wonderful" is set to essentially Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll, Pt. 2"? (Yeah, the "ba-da-da-da dih-dih-dih-dih-dee YEAH! ba-da-da" song..) They even have the shouted "yeahs". The "linney's sumpin' sumpin' mix" for Delirious?'s "Louder than the Radio" is also a stinker.

BOTTOM LINE:
Only a few of the best tracks on here are available on other discs:

Lakita "Speak to the Hand" (ASIN B000003ZHC)
World Wide Message Tribe "The Real Thing" (ASIN B000002NFE)
DC Talk "Jesus is Just Alright" (ASIN B00007JGUQ)
MC Hammer "Pray" (ASIN B000002UVD)

But as a whole, I'm not "wowed" by this disc. On balance, I'd say skip this one unless you're a completist that has to have every mix of every song by your favourite artists.

2 1/2 stars

Lives Up To Its Name.......2004-04-16

Quite an interesting concept for a various artists compilation. This collection of up-tempo tunes is a must have if you enjoy your Christian music with a bit of an edge. It also comes in very handy if you need some music to exercise to!

Many of the tracks have been remixed, improving on already strong songs. Bleach's "Super Good Feeling" kicks things off in fine style. The remix of "I Will Carry You" by Rebecca St. James is completely uplifting and really improves on the original. And just when you thought there couldn't possibly be another decent remix of the Newsboys' classic "Shine", the "sequential mix" shows up here, and it really kicks. I also have a thing for cover versions, so I really enjoyed Considering Lilly's turn on Bacharach/David's "What The World Needs Now", Audio Adrenaline's version of Edgar Winter's "Free Ride" (finally remixed here), and DC Talk's "Jesus Is Just Alright", which is probably the oldest track on the album. Less successful was the version of "Some Kind Of Wonderful" by Voices Live! - it is not quite as strong as the other covers.

The only draw back for me was the inclusion of MC Hammer's "Pray" (didn't we hear that enough when it was on the radio?)and the Carman track. The "cheers" that are performed in between some of the tracks are somewhat annonying, but not so much that they wreck the continuity of the album.

Fans of Christian dance music will not want to miss this. Great up-tempo songs that work as a great soundtrack for any workout or party.

This is the Best Dance Music.......2001-08-11

This is a really cool cd! I bought it at Best Buy and I just bought it because I knew some artists on there. When I listened to it I didn't realize that some songs were remixes and I thought they were really cool! If you like rocky dance tunes you would want to buy this cd. I like the remix of Super Good Feeling by Bleach and I Will Carry Remix by Rebecca St.James. I Also like the songs What the World Needs Now, Louder then the Radio Remix, Free Ride Remix and many more. You would Love this cd.

Product Description

earBuzz Review: Metal distorted guitars and vocals that cut the air with a timbre that marries three rock powerhouse voices - Ozzy, Paul Stanley, and Perry Farrel - with lyrics of love, sex, and testosterone - all wound up in a package of 12 tunes for Bradley Gailey's first CD, "You're Gonna Like It". Guitars eat Nugent crunch and the sequenced drum parts, combined with guitar player gut bass, support Gailey's vocals. Track 2, "No Fat Chics", Gailey sings, 'i don't care if you're drunk or straight, who you love when you're on a date, i don't care about beginner's luck, it all comes down to how good she sucks. .i have a problem when I'm drinkin you see, keep the fat chics away from me'. Rock reality. Track 3, "Before I Hang", is an ode to a prisoner on death row - and the rhythm of the vocals along with the chorus is metal magic. The title track, "You're Gonna Like It", is a throwback to 80's hair rock - complete with the acapella-ish chorus mp3'd here as a clip.! Track 9, "Leaving", gives us the Jane's comparison - cool. Track 10, in an audible departure from the rest of the CD, has Gailey crooning to a clean and well recorded acoustic guitar in "Smile". We look forward to hearing more.

Finally. Great Workout Music!.......1999-07-14

I own a few of the Tae-Bo and other kickbox tapes and all the music is inferior + I don't always want to play the video when I workout. TAE MUSIC is excellent and offers a wide selection of music to choose from. I have a different workout every morning! Buy it!
