5.0 out of 5 stars This is a MUST BUY for rock/worship fans., August 17, 2001

By	R. Rosenkranz "Eno" (near Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Good News (excuse the pun), Christian music fans! Tree63's CD is one of the finest CDs I've listened to, and the fact that it is a Christian CD is an added bonus. Tree63's sound is a combination of Collective Soul's alternative pop-rock and U2's edgy rock. The CD is full of rocking worship songs, songs that make you tap your feet and sing along and worship the Lord at the same time. These guys are extremely talented and this CD is truly exceptional. I think even non-Christians would enjoy the music.

Highlights for me are the sweet opening song "Treasure", the guitar rich "Sacrifice", the driving "Earnestly" (which reminds me of `80s alternative pop), the beautiful ballad "A Million Lights", and the fabulous "1*0*1" in which the opening guitar riffs will make you think U2's Edge has made a guest appearance. That said, though, let me just add that there isn't a weak song on the disc.

But the best song of the CD, and one of the finest worship songs I've ever heard --- and sang along to --- is "Look What You've Done." Every time I hear this song and sing along, I can't help but really listen to the words I am singing... "What can I do for you my Lord? / I want you to know my heart is yours / It's not a question of what you can do for me / But what can I do for you my Lord?"

Here's hoping and praying for another Tree 63 CD real soon!

5.0 out of 5 stars This band are just gonna get bigger and better!!, April 17, 2001

By	"noiseboy_uk" (London) - See all my reviews

In answer to the question, 63 refers to Psalm 63 which inspired the original 63 album released in South Africa and the UK in 1999. Tree63 is not actually their first album (first International yes) but they released Overflow in 97 and 63 in 99. These will no doubt be collectors items already and if you are lucky enough to have one then hang on to it! Tree63 is actually a combination of or 'Best Of' some of the tracks off each of these two albums. So, in fact Tree or Tree63 as they are now known are fairly mature already in terms of album releases. There was also the extremely limited but very popular tREeMIX CD released in South Africa which contained 5 dance mixes from the Overflow album. tREeMIX contained the intro music used at their very successful live shows in SA and the UK in the late 90's which really kicked! This is an awesome band and if you love good rock songs with a great uplifting message then you'll love this!

4.0 out of 5 stars Happy worshiping pop music, June 30, 2001

By	Brian Lehman (Philly suburbs) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I heard this group in concert and I thought they had a good sound, so I bought their CD. The sound of this CD is very upbeat and happy, which is infectious in both a good way and a bad way. For the most part Tree gives us a fresh, enjoyable sound, but this type of music always tends to get a little annoying after you've heard it a lot. Tree is a very talented band that definitely has a future in the States. They are already very successful in South Africa (their home country) where they have hits even on secular rock stations. I enjoy this CD and will continue to, and I think you will too. It is a good idea to get in on this band early because they very well might get big once they get better known. The best song on the disc is clearly Treasure, which is an excellent song. There are also some other good songs. Overall, a good, happy, and definitely worshipful CD which is worth a listen!!
