These guys are not to be believed. Inventive, soulful and funky without a trace of formula in their work. You will need to pinch yourself throughout this CD to remind yourself that this is an a cappella group. Despite what one reviewer says here (and what your ears will insist you hear) there are no musical instruments anywhere on this album. There is but one exception to this: Track 7, "What I'm Lookin' 4" features a sample of the Supremes' classic "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" On this, the band builds an amazing homage to mothers. It is as seamless as it is inspired.
For the downside? Not every song is as brilliant as most of this album, so it suffers from 'the curse of the CD'. The album as a whole would probably be stronger had they left a couple songs off, But hey. That's why we have programmable players and playlists. If you're still not sold, search YouTube for them. You'll see.
These seven young men use their natural voices to create beautiful music. The pieces they have chosen are timeless. I have given copies to people younger and older than myself, (I'm proudly 53). I have played it in my classroom of mostly 11 year olds and they love it enough to write down the title. Music that can appeal to that wide an age span, that's good music.
This is one of the best groups that have gotten together in a long time. Their music is a lot more enjoyable when you have first watched their videos. Then you will really understand true musical talent. This group is excellent.
