REAL MUSIC.......2007-01-16

THIS IS MUSIC YOU CAN LISTEN TO EVERY DAY AND ENJOY OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

White bread, well-baked in spots.......2005-08-12

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir that performs on this disc is a tightly-knit, well-conducted unit, and some of the tracks on the disc border on the ethereal. "Lead, Kindly Light," "Sweet Hour of Prayer" (in parts) and "The King of Love My Shepherd Is," for example, touch the soul and bring tears to the eyes.

However, on other arrangements the choir sounds like a group of white folks far removed from the remainder of humanity. For example, the opening track, "Praise to the Lord, the Almighty," and also "All Creatures of Our God and King" sound rote and perfunctory, like a group of elementary school students (with very fine voices, to be sure) going through the paces of a daily sing: elevator music on a grand scale. At the opposite extreme, sudden dynamic shifts in other tracks sound pretentious. The final bars of "All Creatures of Our God and King" suggest an attempt at a grand finale, but lack even a hint of majesty or passion. The choir lacks any apparent understanding of the Shaker spirit in "Simple Gifts" --- rather like Lawrence Welk playing Bob Marley. (Not that I've ever seen a Shaker in dreadlocks.) "Battle Hymn of the Republic" begins majestically, but turns into a caricature, and then reverts to a semblance of glory (except for a brief flirtation with a minor key).

The high praise lavished on this disc by other reviewers is no surprise: It is of very high quality for what it is. The choir offers a lovely sound. However, more than half the tracks are seriously flawed, and the musicianship is sufficiently peculiar on the whole as to lower the rating considerably.

This is the one!.......2002-08-24

If you want to hear the best of the best, this CD is it. These hymn arrangements are just beautiful and very touching. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys the choir and wants to feel a little closer to heaven. The choir seems to sing literally with one voice and you feel like they are singing just for you. Congratulations to the new conductor, Craig Jessop and all those who contributed to the quality that went into producing this CD.

A Must for the Sabbath.......2002-04-17

I LOVE IT!!! What better way to enjoy the Sabbath than to sing of the Lord's Praises with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir? This album is just the ticket! It's very powerful, and uplifting.

What? You mean I can only give this album five stars? But that doesn't even BEGIN to do it justice!

I love it. Truly a masterpiece!

A Must for Sabbath.......2002-02-05

If you only own one Mormon Tabernacle Choir CD, this is the one. It has creative arrangements of many favorite hymns, as well as the best recording of the Wilhousky Battle Hymn arrgmt that I have ever come across. The only downer: it has (another) recording of Simple Gifts, which has been beat to death by choirs in the last decade.

Only 2 songs were tight.......2006-12-31

This is not his best CD, The Last Saint, and Ghetto Precha are his best CD's yet, those are some definate trunk beaters, and tight lyrics

Ain't nuttin wrong 2 be a demon cap peela'!.......2001-07-31

Hey, if you're looking for an uplifting, positive Christian album...this is it. It's a step better than Ghetto Preacha, and it introduces the hottest duo in Christian Rap: F.T.F.

I bought this one along with Bruthaz Grimm's "And things will never be the same". This album is the kind that really grabs you at the start. After you listen to it a while, you really see beyond the beats and lyrics and feel God's message through Bennie Lee Tucker (D.C.P.)

On a scale of 1 to 5 though, I give this a four, simply because it isn't a full strong album, but about 80%. Pick Our Time to Shine, D.C.P., Woe Stories, Life Becoming Mo of a Woe, On the Ball, Thru Wit It, and So What....well then, you'd have a 101% cd.

This is definitely a must buy, though...and I encourage you to purchase more from the best Christian Rap Label...Grapetree.

Our Time to Shine definitely shines.......2001-06-25

Our time to shine is an awesome album. DCP has brought Christian rap to a whole new level. The lyrics are very uplifting. The music has a great beat. All this adds up to a fantastic music experience.

DCP- Our Time To Shine.......2001-06-07

DCP and Grapetree put it down on this CD. Definitely for those that dig str8 street music, DCP keeps it real representing for the gospel of the MESSIAH. Put down that BG and Cash Money Clique and get on this, cause it's on point fa show. Especially check out Thru with it, Our Time to Shine, Jezebel, Life becoming Mo of a Woe, and the last cut So What with Li'l Raskull. This CD is Holy Spirit inspired and got the game locked. Don't sleep on it Ya heard!! This is Lo-khem representing for YAHUSHUA the risen MESSIAH, Black Messianic Hebrew David Seed fo life!!!

okay its sorta good.......2001-05-28

the songs suffer for a reason and our time to shine and 3 other songs are the only good songs. d.c.p. and the other songs are 50% good and less !!.

Aural bliss.......2006-12-30

That "Telarc Sound"... what else can I say. Rich powerful sound from 5 full range speakers bursts into your living room, immersing you in the magic of the Mormon Tabernacle and that "telarc sound".

A good mix of the familiar and unfamiliar.......2001-11-15

The Morman Tabernacle Choir used to sound mighty impressive on the old mono LPs; how much better they sound on CDs with Telarc's Direct Stream Digital. Granted that each of their albums sound pretty much alike in their choice of songs and in the style in which they are sung, I was happy to see that their latest offering, "The Sound of Glory" (CD-80579) at least includes some not overly familiar selections such as "Lead, Kindly Light" and "Take Time to Be Holy" along with the truly familiar ones such as "Simple Gifts" and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Craig Jessup conducts the Chorus with the Orchestra at Temple Square in (according to a sticker on the jewel case of my copy) a celebration of Salt Lake City 2002.

Without their realizing it, the producers have given us a very timely offering after the events of September 11, 2001. Thanks for that.
