5 out of 5 stars GLAD TIDINGS .......2005-04-09

I own 3 GLAD CDs and this is my absolute favorite! Their rendition of Joyful,Joyful is a classic & worth the cost of the whole CD alone. From the first notes & chord they make in Lead On, Oh King Eternal you'll be hooked. GLAD puts a new & wonderful twist on the old classics you've probably heard in church & have grown tired of hearing the same way over & over again. You'll never get bored with their exciting arrangements and wonderful harmonies.

5 out of 5 stars The Michael Jordan of acapella groups.......2003-12-13

I purchased "Acapella Hymns" (on cassette) 9 years ago because I was familiar with a few of the song titles. I expected the songs to be sung in the same mellow style for which they were originally written. I was surprised. Glad's arrangement and performance are truly second-to-none. A few of the CD's in my "Top 25 CD's of All Time" case include U2, Eagles Best of, and Glad. This CD must go down as one of the unsung greats.

5 out of 5 stars Quintessential Quintet.......2003-06-16

Glad takes some of Christendom's most beloved hymns and puts a joyful modern spin on them. I can't help but think that the venerable writers of these hymns would be pleased by this uplifting CD. The close harmony of this group is wonderful to listen to, but when combined with the words of these traditional hymns, it becomes even more special. Whether they are singing the soaring "Fairest Lord Jesus" or the majestic "O Worship the King", Glad communicates the love of God in a new and refreshing way. The high voices soar and the lower voices provide a rock-solid foundation for a totally wonderful listening experience.

5 out of 5 stars ... DROOL ... GASP ... CRY ..........2002-06-01

Wow. I am just really surprised that there is only one other review for this awesome CD. I am a big Take 6 fan and I had never really heard of Glad until I ran across this title. I am just totally blown away by these arrangements. They are not quite as jazz-oriented as Take 6, but in my opinion this is every bit as cool--check out "Blessed Assurance", or "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling" in 7/8 time. In terms of tuning, Glad is really amazing; the chords simply jump out and grab you. If you like hymns or hymn arrangements, this CD will quickly become one of your favorites. The only thing I can't figure out is how so much mediocre and low-quality music get huge attention while gems like this are ignored! Spread the word! This CD is AWESOME!

5 out of 5 stars Oh my...........2001-09-29

An entire album of GLAD doing what they do better than anyone else on the planet - acapella. They have taken standard hymns that are often drowned my organ music and have turned them into musical feasts for the ears. I can't help but think that the "normal" 'Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee' that we sing in church is a little hum-drum after hearing GLAD's interpretation. They are *truly* the masters of acapella music.
