4.0 out of 5 stars Nice album, with just one warning concerning Amazon, March 24, 2006

This review is from: Choirboys (Audio CD)

I just got the album, and its really nice, though pretty driven to catholic music, so if you don't like that kind of music don't buy it -- it will bore you to death. Also, a warning: DO NOT buy this version of the album, its a ripoff. Instead, buy this one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C6NNTM/ref=pd_sim_m_7/102-8490695-7450563?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=5174

The reason? Well, I bought this one and got the other one instead, so I can assure Amazon.com ripped 15 dollars off me (I'm emailing them for a refund immediately, I can have what i received but at least they should take the excess charge).

When it comes to the proper content, here are reviews for some of the songs, and once again I must tell that most, if not all of them are EXTREMELY QUIET, so if you're looking for more upbeat stuff simply do yourself a favour and don't look for it on this album. I've only listened to the album once, so my views might change as the album grows in me.

Ecce Homo - A great song, properly choral. One of the few where the three boys actually sing together.

Tears in Heaven - The most beautiful song in the album, which made me buy it. A must listen.

Do You Hear What I Hear? (Feat. Hayley Westenra) - This is a good one, though I haven't listened to it much. Hayley Westenra is a great addition (Oddly enough when I received this album the package also had hayley's Odyssey).

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother - Nice song, really into the quiet side though.

5.0 out of 5 stars My thoughts on The Choirboys, February 26, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Choirboys (Audio CD)

I am a girl that listens to rock music all the time and when i heard them sing 'Tears in Heaven' i fell in love with their voices and i listen to them all the time! Its amazing how pure their voices are especially Ben's voice because i think it is him who can hit all the really high notes!
