"When I bought this cd I knew that the WWMT was a dance group but I didn't know what the music sounded like and so I just bought it. Now I think It is a really cool dance cd that just makes you wanna... Dance! The First Song, Frantik, is sorta Jazzy but still good to dance to. The Franik and Truth Remixs are really good to dance to too. I like # 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,11 and 12. They are really good songs and they have good lyrics that talk about the lord. I like most of the album but some songs aren't that much good to dance to, but give it a try and buy this cd!"

Not as good as previous efforts

"i agree with sandra's review. i was hoping for another heatseeker or something even more techno in flavor. This is just mostly light dance like Raze. The remixes are great. almost sold this cd but it is so hard to find good christian techno that i kept it for the remixes."

Not the best of the albums, but not the worst either

"...not that WWMT ever had bad albums anyway. This was the first WWMT album I ever checked out, but the first song of theirs I ever heard wasn't on this album (Real Thing, from Jumping In The House Of God). I wouldn't say this is the top number 1 best album that WWMT ever released, but it's not totally terrible either. It's a little bit out of their usual dance genre, it's more, well, the best way I could describe it is "Raze-oriented". What I mean by that, is, Raze does have dance music, but it's more like power-pop with techno beats behind it, so it's not exactly what I'd call "real" dance music. WWMT, I think, has the best dance music I've ever heard. It's not the typical dance music you'd hear on a dance-floor done by a DJ. It's fun, cool, the best for dancing, and it still never loses the heart. But on this album, they had a change in the sound. They made it more pop/dance oriented. Although it wasn't totally amazing compared to their other albums, it's still very fun and great on it's own! Let me review the songs...



Frantik: Nice beginner for the album! It was hard for me to get used to at first, but I've found I can have fun with it now. Very cool, fast, fun song. Great bass and programming. Very funky, and almost a little bit jazzy in some ways. One of my favorites.



Truth: Very cool song! It's not the fastest, it's sort of mellow dance. Still, it sounds great! The vocals are very nice. One of my favorites.



Got To Be With You: My second favorite song on the album! Deronda Lewis takes the lead vocal on this one (remember what I said about this album being more "Raze-oriented"? Well, Deronda happens to be Donnie Lewis' mom, while Donnie is one of the girls from Raze). She sounds great! Very awesome song. Very fun.



Eat The Word: Pretty cool! Not one of my top favorites, but I like it a lot. The lyrics are the coolest part, I think. It's mostly all rapped, but the chorus is sung. The vocals are very cool.



I'll Be There: Not my top favorite, but I do like it a lot. It's not a bad song, but it should have a better beat, I think; it's a little to quiet, not enough of something you could dance to. Otherwise, it's a very nice song and I like it a lot!



Girl Of God: Surely one of the better songs on the album! Very nice song. Deronda does great singing the chorus, although I'm afraid Emma Owen's rap lines weren't as good as usual (and I love Emma, she's an awesome rapper, but she's done much better in other songs). Again, very nice song. One of my favorites.



Love Is The Greatest: Easily the best song on the album! I used to not be a big fan of the beat, because I thought it was to quiet, not enough to dance to, but I think it's perfect for the song, now that I know it better. Awesome lyrics, tune, and vocals! My favorite on the album!



Message Of Love: Again, not one of my top favorites on the CD, but it has very nice lyrics and vocals. It has more of a mellow Gospel-R&B sound than a pop/dance sound.



Joy Dayz: Another one of my favorites. It's a very happy, cool, fun song with nice vocals and sounds. Very nice! Another one of the better songs on the album.



I Give You My Life: As far as sound goes, this one was ok. As far as lyrics go, it was very good. As far as vocals go, it was pretty good. Not the best on the album, but not to bad, either.



Remixes (Frantik and Truth): All I really have to say about these is they're not as good as the originals. They're just ok.



Well, that wraps it up for my review of Frantik. What do I have to say about it now that I know it better and have finished up with it? Well, I like it more than I did yesterday. But I still hold on to the fact that it's not totally amazing compared to the other WWMT albums."
