5 out of 5 stars A Great fan starter CD.......2006-10-27

This was the first MWS cd I bought, and it got me hooked. Secret Ambition and Crystal Thrown are my favorite songs on disc, but I love them all. Now I have 3 MWS cd's and 2 more on the way. I am now a true fan.

5 out of 5 stars Superior Smitty.......2006-09-12

Smitty (was he even known by that nickname back when this was released?) has never quite equaled this great album. Reverent and uniquely tuneful, i2eye showcases an artist at the top of his game. Essential to your collection.

4 out of 5 stars One of his greatest.......2006-07-02

This album helped mold me into the person I am today. The first song of his I ever heard was "The Throne" in 1996. I immediately begged my mom to buy the album. Let's just say I more or less wore out this tape. Secret Ambition is definately my favorite song, but the whole ablbum is great. 10 years later, I have seen him 5 times in concert and have purchased everything he has put into print.

4 out of 5 stars Music Heaven........2005-05-19

No matter what your personal religious standing is, this album should appeal to you. If you're into 80's pop, or just into great songwriting, look no further than this album. "Hand of Providence" is a definite keeper. "Secret Ambition" is an 80's arena rocker. My personal favorite is "The Other Side," which sounds kind of like "Boys of Summer," but not as stupid. Christian or not, i2(eye) is pure music Heaven. I also highly recommend "Go West Young Man" which i found at K-Mart for like $1.99.

5 out of 5 stars After almost 20 years it's still my favorite Smitty album.......2005-04-05

I love this CD very much. I think that out of all of Michael W. Smith's recordings (with the exception of his latest which I have not yet listened to), this is the best. I think i2(eye) shows how versatile Smitty's musical talent really is much better than any of his other recordings (except, of course, for FREEDOM which was entirely instrumental). But I also think i2(eye) does a much better job of digging into theology than his other works. And even though this album was released in the 80s, most of the music on it is not so 80s-sounding. The majority of the music on here is fresh and original.

Enormously popular at the time of it's release was the folksy opener "Hand of Providence". "Secret Ambition" is a truly timeless classic highlighting the ministry of Christ. "Ashton" is a haunting and hard-hitting instrumental piece written as an ode to Frank E. Peretti's classic novel THIS PRESENT DARKNESS. Probably my favorite song on here has to be "I Miss the Way". This is a very soft and very melodic song that reaches out to the believer who has gotten distracted and gotten off course in his or her Christian walk. I guess the reason why this song's message speaks so loudly to me is because it is something that happens to all of us, if we were to be honest.

I've only mentioned my personal favorites on here. But if you have a wide range of musical tastes (if you're a Smitty fan, you have to), then you'll probably enjoy just about every song on here.

There will be no need to press the fast forward button when listening to this CD.

4 out of 5 stars Great 80's Cd!.......2007-04-17

This was Michaels 2nd release. Where the first album had a more aggressive sound this cd slowed it down a little bit. The songs that got my attention was "End Of The Book" and "I Am Sure" with their refreshing pop sound. I love the keyboard/synthesizer work on these songs and because of Smitty and other artist like him such as Leon Patillo made me want to venture into wanting to play keyboards and get into synthesizers in my younger years.

5 out of 5 stars A remarkable and outstanding album.......2005-02-20

Michael W. Smith's second venture was a runaway hit when it was first released over 20 years ago. It was in fact the first album of his I ever heard. What I like best about this CD is that the music is really not all that dated. Sure, there's plenty of 80s-style synthsizer sound on here, but it's never overboard. This album was, for the most part, Michael W. Smith's own creative sound.

The songs are very uplifting and not too rock 'n' roll-ish. This album has appeal for general audiences; not just the youth group ages, but everyone. Therefore, its appeal is timeless. And I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent and truely overlooked.......2005-01-11

I've been searching for this CD forever. I lost the tapes years ago and often thought of this album. What a great group of songs.
Each song is so meaningful. If you like Michael W Smith,this is a must buy ...you will love it! So glad I found it after so many years.

5 out of 5 stars An Old One but Good One.......2003-01-20

This is one of Michael W. Smith's first albums, and well worth revisiting. I enjoyed listening to this one after not having had it in the collection for about 15 years. A must for any Michael W. Smith fan.

5 out of 5 stars Wish more people heard it.......2001-05-26

Like alot of the other reviews have said, this is one of MWS's best, and yet it is so overlooked. I absolutely love it. Unfortunately my parents lost the cassette years ago, and it is a while since i've heard it. I'm going to buy to hear it again, because it is just great. Maybe the fact that you hardly ever heard of it was part of its allure. It wasn't played to the death. I don't know many people who like it or even know of it. The songs are wonderful, and I as a teenager found a special place in my heart. "I am sure", "Words I Need to Say", "The End of the Book" bring back great memories and are thoughtful, inspiring. If you haven't heard this album - get it!!!

    This disc recycles two different but complementary LP recordings, the first being a 1968 outing with the Gregg Smith Singers, the New York Brass and Percussion Ensemble, and organist E. Power Biggs, the second being a 1965 recording with André Kostelanetz and his Orchestra. Though the repertoire for both is fairly traditional carols, they make for strange listening now. The Gregg Smith Singers selections are often straightforward, except when Biggs's gimmicky organ intervenes with all sorts of effects that are deployed with the artistry of Fourth of July fireworks. Did we ever mistake Biggs for a musician? Kostelanetz's ultra-busy orchestrations are almost comically souped up with cushy strings, ringing brass, and more harps than you'd ever want to hear. One saving grace is the underrecorded soprano Phyllis Curtin, who sings a lovely version of "O Holy Night." Also on hand is the St. Kilian Boy Choir, which has an unusually robust sound. --David Patrick Stearns

    5 out of 5 stars A Bright & Joyous Christmas Concert !.......2000-05-21

    This is a wonderful Christmas anthology, with legendary performers, a bright little pipe organ, and a sparkling small brass ensemble. In many other Christmas albums, huge choirs and orchestras overwhelm the listener; here the 2 small choirs & their accompaniment are in perfect balance. With excellent clarity and timing, the songs are crisp and delightful! They bring back the joy & idealism of Christmas that I loved as a child.

    The second half of the CD features a small orchestra, a delightful children's choir, & a wonderful soprano, again all in perfect balance and sharpness. The bright arrangements and clear performances make this a memorable Christmas recording!
