5.0 out of 5 stars Shocked!, January 25, 2006

By	Adam Sheldon "CCM GUY" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Let me first start by saying that after Avalon's last album The Creed, I truly believed that the Avalon of old was through. Very difficult to handle as I have been a long time fan of Avalon litterally since their inception. However this album has made happy to know that the Avalon of Old is gone and the Avalon of New is here and believe me when I tell you that is a good thing. After The Creed, I was concerned with the addition of Greg Long. But after listening to Stand, it is apparent that the group has found themselves vocally and now Greg adds something positive and unique that Avalon has been missing for a while. Perfect example of this, see "Slowly." I truly can say that this is Avalon's best album to date. This is coming from a real person and not an Avalon Fanatic. From the ballads, to the upbeat tunes, this album truly is great from start to finish. Very impressive album! I hope you enjoy this album as much as I have... =)

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Amazing!!!!, August 10, 2006

By	Ryan McAdams (Tuscaloosa, AL) - See all my reviews

I have only been listening to Avalon for about 2 years now and from what i have heard this is the best one yet!!! I first listened to them on the "Oxygen" album. I intstantly liked it and decided i wanted to check out more from them. I Bought the greatest hits album and again, was no disappointed!!...it was cool to see where they had come from as artist and to see the direction they were headed in. Then came "The Creed". I am so irritated to read reviews on here from people complaining about the departure of Cherri and Michael. If they truly felt God was leading them in a new direction, then as Christians and fans we should support that. On top of that, the sound of Janna, Jody, Melissa, and Greg is th strongest they have ever had. Janna and Jody are both powerhouse vocalist. With Cherri and Michael their voices were not that strong and so they blended into the background. Melissa and Greg both have powerful voices that match Janna and Jody, giving a full, and strong sound. The creed was a great album that deserved to be listened to without people whining over the loss of two members. Now stand is out and we find t his group topping themselves yet again. The sound on this record follows that of what you might hear on mainstream radio today. It has more of a Pop/rock vibe than a plain pop or dance sound as some of their previous music had. The vocals are amazing and the music is great. Anyone who says this is a bad cd purely because michael and cherri are gone is not really listening to the music!!....This album has by far the best vocal and instrumental sound of any of their albums to date!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars They are Back!!, February 22, 2006

By	Louise P "Passing By" (New Albany, IN USA) - See all my reviews

Avalon was one of the first groups I heared as a new chistian and I was Touched by there music. The Creed was a let down I realize that they were dealing with a new memebor. But however, this cd is great each song has soul,heart, and the passion for Christ! There where time I wanted to cry and times I wanted to laugh with joy. They are back and stronger than ever, they have a new sound that juts rocks!
