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!!! :-)

Great CD! Love every song! Very upbeat, but with great praise. I have it on my IPod and love to use it when I run.

This product was very cool. I was a little disappointed at first because I already had most of the album on a different cd. But over all I am very glad I bought it. I enjoyed listening to the three remix songs on it and the video that came in the product. It tells about toby's life. I LOVE tobyMac!

I didn't think I'd care for this as hip-hop isn't a type of music in my world. Toby Mac has put together a really nice mix and it really isn't hip-hop oriented. The tunes are a mix of fast and slow that are really pleasant to listen to. I don't have my CD handy but the only odd tune is the final cut which is probably included as a filler or a joke--I can't determine which. We play the CD often even though its been out for quite awhile.

Toby Mac just keeps getting better and better. This cd instantly became a favorite as soon as we listened to it.

The lead song, Tonight is muy beuno with a sweet flowing sound. "With hearts that want more tonight" is there any reason to wait any longer? Following the same vein are Start Somewhere and City on Our Knees. Start Somewhere says to me--after all it's just the world stuff, put it aside and get moving on what God wants. City on Our Knees has a soft rhythem background, but it's the words that are important here. If something's important enought to do, what are we waiting for? "Two world's collide"--says to me--endless possibilities of what we can do, where we can go. Loud N Clear, is cute, Trudog is a crackerjack, but no pressure here, on this representative of the next generation. Showstopper is upbeat, kids just having fun in a positive way. This is heavy beat song, so instead of just lean with us, get ready to jump with us. Get Back Up is likeable, having two different styles that work well together well, but that's tobyMac, I can hear--love calling, love calling-- in the back of my head in some difficult situations. Captured has the hint of "Consume Me", let me get into God more and more. A heavy idea, but what I like most is the scrappy sound. Changed Forever is a bang up perforance by Nirva, a just love it sound with a big league message. Hold On--now did I hear that right? "Hold onto The Hand that's holding you" What a concept--God's already got a hold of me, but I have to take an acitve part and hold onto God, too? And then, Break Open the Sky, love that easy does it Jamacian influence and a reminder this world is not our home, "waiting for a crack in the sky" beautiful way to end the album.

Since I purchased this item, the delivery was quick and the product was in perfect shape. The CD is awesome.

TobyMac bracht 9 februari de langverwachte opvolger van het studioalbum Portable Sounds (2007) en de live afdronk Alive & Transported (2008) uit: Tonight. Deze is er in een standaard editie, maar ook in een electronische en traditionele deluxe editie editie. Op de stoffelijke versie is in plaats van de radio versie van Tonight plaats voor Captured (KP Remix), Hold On (Telemitry Remix) en Tonight (New Day Remix). Remix 1 en 3 zijn van de hand van Kevin Powell. Verder is een bonus DVD meegeleverd met daarop 70 minuten extra's: de Making Of The Album "Tonight", From Studio To Stage, Behind the Songs Of Tonight en The Gospel Music Channel's Faith & Fame interview. Op de elektronische luxe editie vind je de 3 remixes en de radioversie van City On Our Knees en een digital booklet. Terug naar het album zelf.

Een verrassend up-tempo opener, de titeltrack waarop John Cooper (leadzanger Skillet) meedoet. Op de radio heb je eerder kunnen kennismaken met de singles Get Back Up (relaxte urban in TobyMac stijl, erg uitnodigend om mee te zingen) en tophit City On Our Knees. Funky Jesus Music met Beckah Shae en Siti Monroe mixt discofunk met rap. Showstopper trapt het rock meets hiphop (denk aan RUN DMC) in, terwijl Changed Forever met Nirva Ready een soort nieuwe Boomin' (out your stereo system) is. Verradelijk is het orgeltje aan het begin van Hold On, dat soulful verdergaat, ook een erg radiovriendelijke song. LoudNClear laten Toby's kinderen Truett en Judah weer eens meerappen ( Kriss Kross makes you jump, zal ik maar zeggen). Na deze korte intermezzo is Hey Devil een Ian Eskelin achtig verzoek aan de duivel op te zouten, omdat we'm niet nodig hebben is voor TobyMac een relatief vreemde eend in de bijt. Matthew Thiessen ( Relient K) duetteert op het ontspannen Wonderin'. Na het urban Captured en Start Somewhere is er opnieuw een gastoptreden, ditmaal Israel Houghton in de reggae song Break Open the City, textueel een variant op een bekend TobyMac thema. Veelzijdigheid blijft TobyMac's troefkaart. Tonight is om te smullen.

Mac Daddy continues with awesome music, get juiced up on the Trinity..........can't wait for the next CD

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.
