I have been a big Toby fan since the 90's when DC Talk ruled the Christian airways. Toby's solo releases have always been exciting and fun and each has had it's own unique sound yet they have all shared one thing in common; diversity. Eye On It, Toby's fifth offering still brings the upbeat beats that Tmac fans love and expect but seems to lack some of the style variations that have always given Toby his own flavor. Lyrically this albm is a step up. Toby seems to be getting a little more direct with his Christian songs which is something I appreciate very much. I have listened through this album twice now and really do like it and you probably will too!

1. Me Without You: The first single that has seen a ton of radio play definitely reflects the current popular electro-pop flare. The message is solid and the I can see why it was his choice as a single.
2. Steal My Show: A cool song with a nice even flow that reflects Toby's desire for the Lord's leading in his life. If you liked "Background" by lecrae this song will sit quite well with you.
3. Eye On It: I am quite surprised that this song didn't feature a member of Family Force 5 as it sounds like something they would do. Different and not my favorite song but still upbeat and fun with lots of electronic flare.
4. Forgiven: A highly anticipated song featuring the popular Christian rapper Lecrae, this song is one of the highlights of the album and WILL see radio play. It's a good combo as Toby sings about the joys of being forgiven and Lecrae actually tells you where to find it (Jesus), lol.
5. Speak Life: Another one of the stand-outs on the album with a great message and distinct Toby flavor. Upbeat and easy to listen to, don't be surprised to smile and bob your head when this one comes on the shuffle.

While this is not TobyMac's best album, and it certainly doesn't break any new ground, TobyMac fans should be mostly satisfied with his latest effort. My first experience of it was during a morning jog, and it served as a fitting soundtrack.

Standout tracks include the title track as well as Forgiveness, Lose Myself, and Thankful for You. In fact, Thankful for You possibly ranks in the top 10 TobyMac cuts. Also, in my opinion, both remix tracks of Me Without You outperform the lead track/radio single.

Overall, you have solid lyrics written from a Christian worldview placed with modern beats and electronic (light) hip-hop. No one in Christian music does that formula better. Toby knows his audience and sticks with what will make them happy. In doing so, he remains a good bet for young and old.

Tobymac is beyond talented. I've been a fan of his since the early 90's. I remember the days when Toby SET the bar, not reached for it. Some catchy stuff here but nothing new or innovative; sounds more like the goal is radio instead of originality. Reminds me of the final days of DC Talk-they used to set the bar in Christian music (Free at Last and Jesus Freak anybody?) Then 'Supernatural' came out and I remember thinking (with the exception of a few songs) 'This is good but it could be anybody-sounds like all the other stuff on the radio for the most part.' The break-up came and a few years later 'Momentum' dropped-YES! Toby was innovative again! Listening to this new though, I had pretty much the same thought as I did w/'Supernatural.' Good stuff-if you're an average band; but Toby is NOT average. I'll listen to a few of the songs that were more creative but in end, I long for the innovation and creativity/risk taking from albums like Momentum and even Welcome to Diverse City.

I'm not going to bore you with the whole I'm-a-crazy-TobyMac-fan-all-the-way-back-to-dc-Talk-and-I-have-all-his-records-even-the-remixes-and-live-album-and-the-wristbands-that-cost-eight-bucks-a-piece-so-I'm-super-qualified-to-assess-this-record spiel. You've heard it before.

TobyMac's career has been defined by innovation. Eye On It has almost none. It's tame and overly safe, relying on radio trends and formula. The tracklist consists mostly of generic ballads, not very special and not very TobyMac-ish. It's a serious letdown considering the brilliance of his previous efforts.

But, of course, since it *is* TobyMac, there are bright spots. "Unstoppable" is a pulse-racing, high-energy jam -- it's classic TobyMac procedure, going in the vein of Catchafire or Feelin' So Fly. The title track is similar, but a little over-mixed. The collaboration with Lecrae is thoughtful and upbeat, but kind of a missed opportunity. It would have been great to see him and Toby go hip-hop crazy all over a track, like Toby and T-Bone did on "The Slam." "Family" is one ballad executed very well. The lyrics are raw and honest, and Toby's singing voice is silvery at its finest. Other tracks worth a listen are the bouncy "Lose Myself" and the funky "Thankful for You," in which Toby gives his fans props for all the support over the years.

Eye On It is definitely TobyMac -- just much mellower and poppier than ever before. As much as I hate to say it, the Momentum and Welcome to Diverse City days are gone. Even the Portable Sounds days are gone. Tonight and Eye On It have ushered in a new direction for Toby, one more radio-friendly, if less innovative. I'm not entirely pleased. But I'm a fan. And I'm sticking with him.
