5.0 out of 5 stars
9.0 out of 10 rating from CHHReview.com (Christian Hip Hop Review), July 21, 2009
Like it's title suggests, the directive of this album is to immerse the listener in a collection of songs that paint a vast picture. As a matter of fact, this album aims to paint the grandest of pictures imaginable: The fall of man and God's redeeming love shown towards humanity.
Like a cosmic jig saw puzzle, this picture is carefully pieced together starting all the way from creation (Legend) to the fall in the garden ("Tree to Tree", "Lost") to the future glorious appearing of the King of all kings, Jesus Christ ("Trumpet Blow").
The album also includes encouraging and uplifting songs which exhort the listener to live as Christ would have us to live until his return. ("Great Wall", "Fantasy", and "Talk to You" to name a few.)
One of the qualities that I most appreciate about Da Truth as an artist is his tendency to push the envelope in his music, often embracing eclectic beats and unconventional chorus'. The song "Great Wall" is a good example of this reality, with it's boistourous and joyful chorus urging us all to break down the walls and differences that divide us. I can't help but want to crank up the volume and be moved with emotion.
Stand out songs include "Lost", "Trumpet Blow", "You Made", "Fantasy", and "Great Wall".
Overall the album does an impressive job of covering such a colossal range of subjects and is a very worthy addition to any hip hop fan's collection. It has earned a 9.0 out of 10 rating from [...] (Christian Hip Hop Review - a site where Christian Hip Hop albums are reviewed and recommended.) which also translates to the album being a Gold Medal Winner.

AMAZING!!, July 25, 2009
Da Truth was the first Christian Rap Artist I listened to, and he never disappoints! This album does a great job of showing us the big picture and putting life in perspective. Not only are the beats banging, but the lyrics are even more outstanding!
From creation, to the fall, to redemption on the cross, and finally to applying the Gospel in our lives, this album covers it all..Listening to it, I could feel myself walking through God's plan for the world, and I am better able to appreciate "the big picture."
The album will arouse many different feelings: encouragement, challenge, conviction, inspiration, but most of all, perspective. I truly love EVERY song on this album, but some standouts are "Lost", "You Made" , "Great Wall", and "Pain."
Everybody should get this album!!

Truly a Gift from God, July 22, 2009
I am a believer in spreading the word and Truth actually was the first christian rap artist that I listened to, due to the fact that I was trapped in traditionalism. Now I have a vast collection that I use as tools when ministering to a younger crowd. This album falls right in line with all the others that this brother has produced. From beginning to end it's packed with the Word. Listen before you judge and let the words touch your heart. God Bless!
