5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, Soft, Pure, February 24, 2001

LaRue is one of few bands that have managed to avoid the sophmore slump. Their second album is one to play everywhere and it is for all moods. "Brianna's Song" that they wrote for their sister who has Cerebral Palsey, is one of the most touching and emotional songs ever recorded. You can practically feel Natalie and Phil's love for their sister in the song. "Jaded" is a great song that talks about a past romantic relationship. This is over-all one of the best albums put out by a Contemporary Christian artist. Natalie's vocals are so pure and almost haunting on this album, and Phil adds one of the best acustic guitar performances that I have encountered for a number of years. This is an album that goes good with road trips and daily devotions, a true rarity. This album was worth waiting for and in the mass of albums in the stores, it is the diamond in the rough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the first, believe it or not!, January 26, 2001

I was very impressed when I picked up Transparent on January 23rd, the release date. Every song on it is excellent, and even more mature and beautiful than the ones on the last record, although their debut was impressive as well. If LaRue had just a little too much pop taste on their debut for you, I highly recommend that you pick up this album! As the reviewer before me said, there is a good mix of fast and slow songs. If you're not usually a lover of slow songs, be prepared to be blown away. "Fallen for You" and "Brianna's Song" are absolutely beautiful; you won't be able to resist them! Also check out "Theory of Flight", "Near to Me", and "I Can't Sing". You won't be disappointed in "Transparent"!

I bought this cd 2nd hand, I did not know Larue, but now I do, and I can say that this is one of the best cd's I have in my collection. I think that they sound a bit Celtic.
