Christian Music is Making a Statement!!!

"OMG, this album excites me. The same notoriety that Kirk is getting for his great album, JR deserves for putting out this MASTERPIECE. I'm a junior in college, so I like stuff that is heavy-hitting. The slow, the mid-tempo, the fast - it's all there. It's definitely progressive; sounds like nothing in the Bible bookstore; sounds like nothing on the CD racks period! 5 (of the) top tracks: Tonight, Trust in You, Words of Life, OK, Your Word.
Remember, Body of Christ, the Gospel shapeshifts its presentation to meet the specific needs of the hearers (parables), yet maintains the truth...JR follows Jesus' lead."

"This is SOOOOO different from the 1st one yet you get the same musical experience....OK is by far my favorite....Trust In You hits hard...Ridaz is my joint J.R. could have even rapped his verses and it would not have sounded corny at all!!!!...Need You sounds like a track off of a movie soundtrack!!!...I could go on all day but you have to experience it for yourselves...GET THIS CD!!!"

"I, like most, was expecting a similar offering as the first project 'Metamorphasis', so I listened to other CD's I had for a while (not to hastily judge). I'm sooooo glad I did! Rarely does an artist offer such a diverse departure from his previous offering. If you like 'Not A Slave' video for this CD, you may experience shock with the mellow sounds of CD #1... or vice versa in my case. Both CD's are exceptional and totally different! This CD is not "easy beats" and you can't compatmentalize 'Life by Stereo' as something similar you heard before. I love all CMR product offerings and for JR not to be a rapper, but a musician is a pleasant diversifying factor. It blazes the trail (as CMR did for Christian rap) to cause other artists to step it up! I bought two of the last CD's for others and bought 1 of these as a gift to show there is a Christian altervative to secular R&B. If you appreciate all music in general -- Christian Rock, Rap, & R&B... this is a must own!!!"
