5.0 out of 5 stars After almost 20 years it's still my favorite Smitty album, April 4, 2005

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars I 2 (EYE) is Smitty's best!, July 23, 1999

In my opinion this is Michael's best album. The entire album is full of heart felt tracks that stick with you. Secret Ambition is one of Michael's all time greats. Hand of Providence, I Miss the Way, Pray for Me and Help You Find Your Way are terrific songs as well. If you like any of Smitty's more recent albums, you will love I 2 (EYE)!
