5.0 out of 5 stars The Hottest Choral Album Of The Year!, May 10, 2001

By

This review is from: We Are at War (Audio CD)

Through dangers, toils, snares, a two year hiatus, and record label changes they have already come and the product of all of that is their hot new project "We Are At War". Recorded live and unplugged at the Sony Sound Stage studios in New York, before a small yet fortunate audience of family, friends, and associates. Making history, being the first Gospel act to ever do so. The album starts off with a spoken word "Introduction" Hall's pastor/WAP member, "The Voice of Worship And Praise", Kevin Bond. Then there's the rousing title track "We Are At War" and the majestic and beautiful worship song "The Blood". It's great on the CD but ain't nothin' like hearing it live! Then there's "the jam" off of the album the Melvin Crispell penned "Too Close". New York area soloist sensation, Bettina Pennon leads the choir next on "I Want To Go There". Then the one of a kind voice of James Hall leads the jazzy "Take Him At His Word". Then there's the Hall penned, midtempo "I Want To Live So", a nice song that shows off the choir's vocal "ski-yillz". Then Pastor Bond makes his lead singing debut on "I Owe You So Much", and then singing sensation Tunesha Crispell [wife of Melvin Crispell] duets with Mother Rubinsten McClure on "God Specializes", Crispell's smooth and pretty vocals and Mother McClure's spectacular ad-libs make this song spectacular. The album ends on four good notes, the Melvin Crispell penned, "Hide Me", "Anchor By And By", led by Gloria White and GMWA Education Department official, Evangelist Dr. Joyce Taylor, another Crispell joint "So Good" and "We Are At War - Part II", reminscent of "Control II" from their first album "God Is In Control".. This album is sizzling hot and takes vibrato to the next level!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Diabolical Response to the Enemies " Diabolical Plot", May 22, 2002

By

This review is from: We Are at War (Audio CD)

"the Diabolical Plot " That was A phrase That Pastor Kevin Bond used In the introdution of "We are at War" and he used it to describe The wicked Plan of the enmy to fight and to destroy us Christian Saints. But The Musical Masterminds Of James Hall and Melvin Crispel came In response with the God anointed Album "We are At War" This album Is Of the chains with Minor Keys and chromatic Chords That get you In the fighting Mode. God realy used them. The look of the Cd made me laugh a little I was truthfully I thought It to be a little corney but thats Just my opinion. (It broadened the title of the CD). Anyway I've been a James And WAP Fan scince "God Is in control" And on Every Cd they Move a step of the Mediocre Gospel sound And this time they took a bigg step off. Starting with "we are at War" To ME- the choir and every thing was banging and of the chains and the song just over proved James Title as the proffessor But the Star Of the song to Me was -JOHN PETERS- yeeees lawd! unexplainable......... OK I Love James Halls Ballads Like "For Your Name Is to be Praised" and all time and foever Favorite "Blessed be The Name" His Arrangement of "Hold to Gods unchanging Hand" and I thought He couldn't out Do "Great Is Our God" but James out did himself with His Newest Ballad "The Blood" Oh Oh oh Oh Oh the Blood My God this Song dosen't really have many words but the way the song was arranged it s pause ggives you time to praise and halla and thank God for his Saving Grace. Melvin's "to close" is a tight little hype song the voices are tight I love this Cd james out did himself again with his broadway Jazz set take him at his word and I Love Melvin " Hide Me" unexplainably tight groovy and jazzy Love it

This Cd Is the Hot Mess
