CD Reviews
Nice album, with just one warning concerning Amazon

"I just got the album, and its really nice, though pretty driven to catholic music, so if you don't like that kind of music don't buy it -- it will bore you to death. Also, a warning: DO NOT buy this version of the album, its a ripoff. Instead, buy this one:
The reason? Well, I bought this one and got the other one instead, so I can assure Amazon.com ripped 15 dollars off me (I'm emailing them for a refund immediately, I can have what i received but at least they should take the excess charge).
When it comes to the proper content, here are reviews for some of the songs, and once again I must tell that most, if not all of them are EXTREMELY QUIET, so if you're looking for more upbeat stuff simply do yourself a favour and don't look for it on this album. I've only listened to the album once, so my views might change as the album grows in me.
Ecce Homo - A great song, properly choral. One of the few where the three boys actually sing together.
Tears in Heaven - The most beautiful song in the album, which made me buy it. A must listen.
Do You Hear What I Hear? (Feat. Hayley Westenra) - This is a good one, though I haven't listened to it much. Hayley Westenra is a great addition (Oddly enough when I received this album the package also had hayley's Odyssey).
He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother - Nice song, really into the quiet side though."
Great!

My thoughts on The Choirboys

"I am a girl that listens to rock music all the time and when i heard them sing 'Tears in Heaven' i fell in love with their voices and i listen to them all the time! Its amazing how pure their voices are especially Ben's voice because i think it is him who can hit all the really high notes!"
Pure Joy

"These little boys eleven and twelve years old sing like angels. Aled Jones, (who sang like an angel himself at that age) has done a wonderful job bringing these boys together. Just sit back, close your eyes, forget the world for a while and let this beautiful music touch your spirit. The beautiful opening of the CD with Ecce Homo gives you a taste of what's to come and it never loses its charm. Walking on Air, In Paradisum, Pie Jesu, and Let There Be Peace On Earth. This CD is definitely a MUST if you are a classical music fan. Its quite simply, beautiful."
