5.0 out of 5 stars Out the Box, November 5, 2004

By 

godslady (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Out the Box (Audio CD)

This CD Set is phenomenol. I enjoyed it so much. Tonex sings so many different types of music. He is a multi-talented artist. Based on the CD, I believe that Tonex is probably more enjoyable in a live concert. I have been tremendously blessed by the music from this CD. I originally didn't think that I would care for his music. I purchased this album specifically for the songs "Lord, Make Me Over" and "To Know You Lord". But, by the time I finished listening to the entire CD Set, I began to enjoy some of his other songs such as "Work on Me", which has a very nice gospel flavor to it, and the game song. The game song is where he takes music from a game show and adds lyrics about how we need to stop playing games as believers. I think that song speaks for the creative genius that Tonex is. I realize now that it is obvious that Tonex's goal is to be a Christian Contemporary Performer. Once I began to look at him from that perspective, and not the perspective of a gospel artist, I was able to appreciate his music. I believe that Tonex has the ability to reach young people that the traditional church setting would never reach. If Tonex were to ever come to Dallas and do a concert, I would definitely attend it. The organization of the CD is wonderful. Tonex is certainly a young, anointed man of God, who will definitely touch many lives for Kingdom purposes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Above all else, IT MINISTERS!!, November 1, 2004

Cleve 2 Christ (New York) - See all my reviews

You don't really need any of these reviews, especially mine.

Surf the net and listen to clips of the songs and see if they speaks to your spirit. If your spirit bears witness to the message on the album, then buy it...and I'm sure it will!!

O2 was my first Tonex album and that one really spoke to my spirit. So I was really looking forward to this one. It came in the mail and by the time I got home, my wife had already listened to it. She didn't like...but then she didn't like O2 at first, either. I was hooked from the beginning. I could see myself in that arena at that concert and the anointing was just as tangible as if I actually had been there.

People can say what they want about this album and about Tonex himself. But I'm telling you, this brother is doing the work of the Lord. His music is fresh and alive with the spirit of God. So what if he took a riff or a sample from a 'secular' song. That sample is what may catch some lost soul's attention when they hear this music thumpin' from somebody's ride coming down the block!

I'm so tired of saints beating up on saints! Beat up on the devil!! That's what Tonex is doing and doing well with this album. I declare and decree that this album is going to call MANY, MANY young soldiers back into the Lord's camp and catapult Tonex to another level and a wider audience...You wait and see!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tonex is awesome! Luv him or hate him, January 29, 2005

I'd became an instant fan to Tonex since I purchased this album "Out the Box". I haven't seen the movie of it yet. But I believe it'll be good. First of all don't get the man wrong 'cuz he's trying to God and the Lord Jesus Christ on his records. Ya'll should stop dictating him of being unholy or worldly to God. He's not a worldly believer or a secular artist like R. Kelly and all of them. He's just a believer in the name of Jesus. I can't give it away 'cuz he's hateful and unholy. I'ma keep it 'cuz it takes a new journey to resurrect on where u are now. Thank God for this record that Tonex put out I hear it won him 6 Stellar Awards nominations which I watch today which is off da chain. I can compare him to the gospel side of Prince, D'Angelo, Michael Jackson, a lil Justin Timberlake, Deitrick Haddon, Usher, Babyface, just to name others. I would definitely would love to hear more from him and definitely get all of his album. GOD PRAISE YOU TONEX AND KEEP IT UP. NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY 'BOUT U BUT U KEEP DOING WHAT'S RIGHT JUST LONG AS U HAVE CHRIST IN YOUR LIFE. NEVER GIVE UP ON WHAT U DOING. JUST DO WHAT U HAVE 2 DO IT'S RIGHT. PRAISE THE LORD HALLEJUAH!!!

Favorite songs on the album are on Disc 1: The Trust Theory, Alive, Alive 2 (luv the beat w/ a rock feel to it), Work on Me, Taxi, Personal Jesus, To Know You Lord, Deliverance, and on Disc 2: Nureau Ink, Believer, Todos Junitos (feat. my girl Sheila E.), Since Jesus Came (feat. my man and mentor Kirk Franklin), Doesn't Really Matter and Thank Q.

Others like Fundamentals and Endangered Species are ok but don't listen to 'em all the time.

I would say congrats to my man and new favorite Tonex for putting out much work on this album. I hope he'll come out more mainstream on his next album as soon as possible. This 2-CD set is a blend of jazz, R&B, disco, latin, funk, rap, hip-hop, rock, pop mixed w/ the gospel sound of the Lord Jesus Christ.
