That is the best word to describe this album. Apart from their Live album, I think this one is the best. The album has great songs, excellent writing, and the most important is the message it delivers. These 4 guys have an excellent chemistry that shines through on this album. Singing acapella is a difficult thing and these guys have it down pat. I think my favorite song is Take Me Away. When you buy this CD, be sure to take a moment and listen to the very last song. Let it run for a minute or so, there is a suprise at the end of Alleluia (my 2 year olds favorite song).

Go Fish's second album is again the best ever! The purity of their acappella combined with their desire to share the love of Jesus and have fun doing it makes this CD one you've got to listen to. From their hilarious "Big Bad Billy" to the ever-touching "Cry In The Rain", Go Fish's unmistakable sincerity and talent shine. "Will You Dance" may seem confusing the first time around, but listen to it again and you'll understand just how the guys feel about what they do. The simplicity and beauty of "Alleluia" grasps the listener. And, for all of you who keep advising to " Let it run for a minute or so" after the last song, yes, every single one of Go Fish's albums has a hidden track. "Part of the Proof"'s first hidden track is a remake of their one on "Out of Breath". But wait? What's that? It's another hidden track! You'd better let your player play itself out. There are always more surprises with a Go Fish CD. And as the gofishguys themselves say... "You've heard us sing, now the record's at its end, so what ya gonna do? Listen to it again!"

If you count the four track album simply titled "Go Fish Acappella", then this album is their third release and definitely a fresh work that fits together very well. If there was one thing that I noticed when I was listening to the songs this time around, it's that even when the message became a serious one-on-one with God approach, each song had an underlying theme of hope (except for the sixth track - I am uncertain of what to make of it currently). Examples include "Cry in the Rain" (fourth track) which sincerely speaks to all people in the pattern of its predecessor "You're My Little Girl" (from "Out of Breath" and "Acappella"), yet it takes it one step further. Not only is it a reminder that God is present when life is delivering lemons and limes, but He is also present to faithfully bring us through and then also present to rejoice by making Sprite (okay, bad analogy with lemon-lime, but you get the idea). All throughout this CD, you can sense how things have begun to build for this very talented group through the production, and if you have the original "New Heart (without percussion)" and "Will You Dance" from "Acappella," you'll recognize that they reworked just a little bit of the background support without messing with the dynamics that made the songs the wonderful pieces that they are.

I am not much of a fan of acapella music but if I had to own one acapella album this would be it. A great sound from great vocalists. They harmonize really well and know how to write great songs. Some very powerful lyrics that really lift up and praise God.
