A Good Sequel to Portable Sounds!, February 15, 2010
I bought a copy of TobyMac's latest CD album, "Tonight" from Family Christian Stores on its release date. The employee at the store was kind enough to sell me one of the "pre-bought" copies of the Limited Deluxe Edition of the album. :-) I started listening to it in my car on the way home and from the get-go, it definitely felt like a sequel to the best-selling album Portable Sounds. The album includes a diversity of different sounds and beats. From a more traditional rock style to hip hop and dance, the CD includes both heart-pumping rhythms and sincere heart-felt love songs. Already a hit song "City on Our Knees," is a call to action for many Christians, as the song says "Tonight's the night".
The album includes dance tracks "Funky Jesus Music", "ShowStopper" and "Tonight". The song "ShowStopper" may appear during the Winter Olympics 2010 and on the NFL Network. The album features John Cooper from the band Skillet, artist Beckah Shae and Matthew Thiessen from Relient K, as well as the members of the Diverse City Band, which includes DJ Maj, Shon Lock, B. "Da Bomb" Haley, Gabereal, Nirva Dorsaint-Ready, Tim Rosenau, Toddie Funk and Dave "dDubb" Wyatt.
One thing I liked about this Deluxe Edition is the fact that it includes a Bonus DVD with approximately 70 minutes of content, i.e., behind the scenes, making of, on tour footage, and Gospel Music Channel's Faith and Fame. You get to see TobyMac's journey from his early childhood, the dcTalk days, to where he's at today. It's informative, honest, and fun to watch.
If you're a TobyMac fan and enjoyed his prequel album, Portable Sounds, you won't be disappointed with Tonight!!! :-)

Toby Mac Tonight is AWESTOME, February 27, 2010
This is a WONDERFUL CD. I do LOVE all of the songs, but song #3, "Funky Jesus Music" is hilarious and wonderful. It just makes me want to dance, and smile and everything at one.
If you don't have it...GET IT!! NOW.
You will be happy.

Great Album!, February 24, 2010
If you're looking for something fresh, I reccomend you buy this album. The first 4 tracks are really good.
Tonight is a rock/techno song that I just can't get enough of. Get Back Up is a mix of Made To Love and I'm For You with a hot beat and a really nice bridge. Funky Jesus Music is the greatest party song Toby ever made.I would say its a mix of funk and hip-hop.We all know what City On Our Knees is. A great song. After that comes showstopper. This ones okay, but I'm not a big fan of it. If you like The Slam, and Extreme Days you'll love it. The next song I absoluetly love; it's called Changed Forever. During the verses and bridge he raps, and the chorus has a rock sound to it. Hold on is next and I would say its a softer version of City On Our Knees with a little bit of autotune.Next comes Tru-Dog with LoudNclear.This is a funny song and probably the best one tru-dogs ever done. The next song is probably the worse song on the album(probably cause I'm 16); Hey Devil. It reminds me of 80's or early 90's rock such as Striper, And Wally from Total Axxess if you're reading this you better play more hip-hop! After that the rest of the songs are pretty good especially the remixes. The DVD was very interesting too. In conclusion I would say that this album has plenty of growth from Portable Sounds. It definatly has better beats with an electric sound to it with plenty of autotune. I think this song could win album of the year, I reccomend for you to get it if you want some good music.
