"I know Soulive hit it pretty big with Blue Note Records and that Doin Something album, but this is where it started, in my opinion. I really dig this album. It is a tiny bit muddy as far as how it was mixed/produced, but I'd rather have that than the overbrite overproduced sounding Blue note release. And a lot of the grooves on the newer release are just rehashed grooves from this one, but with horns or a new head. So I think this is where it's at. Some damn great tunes and a couple firey live tracks. Wow. Track #2 is Hot! So is Jesus (I think that's the name of it.). Good stuff."

"I have listened to every one of soulive's albums. I have been a fan of theirs for years and I like them a lot. I think that they're best album is TURN IT OUT. I think this because it has a nice calm and quiet sound. It is their original, small club sound and it is laid back. It is an album you can just pop in when you are relaxing at home or something you can play at a party. You can lounge or dance to it. It is a Soulive album for all people and shows their distinct, original sound. Eric Krasno uses a little of pedals to change the sound of his guitar, but mostly it is just the true sound of Soulive and the true sound of the band members playing their instruments when they first started out. The band members being Alan Evans-Hammond B3 Organ, Neal Evans-Drums, and Eric Krasno-guitar. This is the true, hip sound of soulive. This album still has the top spot on my list."
