    "Tonight" Toby mac world premiere-Twitter review!

    One tweet during each song: Follow me! My feed is in the side bar -------->>

    "listening to the new @therealtobymac album. Sounding good right now, I hope it stays in the rock/hip-hop vein! #tonight" (This was for "Tonight")

    Toby's voice doesn't even sound like his in his low register! "Love calling" #tonight

    "Captured" as an interesting beat to it. The usual toby OHHH's. not my fave, but not bad. #tonight

    "Start Somewhere" kinda reminds me of "Irene". I'm bobbing my head along. If I wasn't busy, I'd dance. Oh listen! familiar voice #tonight

    "Break Open the sky". First impression, meh... Israel Houghton sounds nice. This must be a song for Mandy, Jamaican sounding. #Tonight

    "Funky Jesus Music" Becca Shay has a nice voice. GO TEE!! I like it :) fun song, synth and horns. Kinda old-school #tonight

    "City on Our Knees" I honestly got sick of this song about 3 weeks ago. Album Version:BETTER. more solid, less floaty sound. I like. #tonight     

    "Showstopper" I LOVE this song. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Up there with "extreme days" and "Ignition". Sounded like Soulglow 4 a sec, Weird. #tonight 

    "Changed Forever" NIRVA! WOOO! She kinda carries the chorus, Toby just throws 2¢ in :P. I like her vocals. #tonight

    "Hold on" Autotune, and a song for Amanda. I like the lyrics! ( BEING DISTRACTED BY AN ALICE IN WONDERLAND COMMERCIAL! FOCUS! ) #tonight

    "The Return of Tru-Dog" Tru calls girls Shawtys. He sounds so big now! I like it. When's he putting out an album, Toby??? #tonight 

    "Hey Devil" This one sounds like Toby was listening to some Neon Horse! Its weird, but in a good way.The guitars/synth are AWESOME. #tonight

    "Wonderin'" (?) Toby, JUST CALL THEM UP AND GET BACK AT IT. Newsboys/Toby/Kev/DCTALK=EPIC. JUST DO IT! Matt Theissen sounds good! #tonight    
    Overall, Pretty good, lots of synth, but well done for the most part. For a star rating, lets go with 3 1/2 - 4. Good CD, but I think Fair is gonna beat it for Awesomest CD released on 2/9/10 :P

    SO this blog has changed!

    After some consideration and a year of neglecting this blog, I have decided to change this from my "101 in 1001" blog to a music review blog ( which was actually one of those 101 goals, so its not a total surrender.). I've only done this a couple times, But I mentally do it every time I get a new CD.
     IDEAS:
    • First of all, I am going to make it a goal to review every CD I buy.
    • My second idea is that every week, I am going to go into my CD collection and review one of the CD's I already own. This will help me get reaquainted with my 3 shoeboxes of music, and it will keep me posting.
    Wish me luck, and we'll see how well this goes :P
