"Nate Sallie has the potential to go to the top of Radio Disney. His new album shows his abilities to shine. I did think, though, that his sound was a little 80ish. But the past is coming back in clothes; why not in music?1. Inside Out - The title track is a pretty good opening. You gotta listen a few times to get into it. If you heard about Nate through a Christian website then you'll think that they made a mistake. His faith doesn't show up right when you start this CD but it flares in other songs. (9/10)2. It's About Time - I really like the guitars that start this song off. This song seems to be talking about doing what you need to do or having fun before life passes you by. A little slower than the song before but really good. (10/10)3. All About You - This song is definately spirtual. The only thing that I like about this song though is the chorus. I'm not particularly crazy about anything else. This is one of the weaker songs to me. (6/10)4. Save Me - I really like this song. The lyrics are really awesome. I really can't express my like of this in words. "Save Me" is definatly a winner!! (10/10)5. Without You - If you go to the next track without knowing the title of this song then you did not listen. I don't like this song. The music is good but I don't like hearing the phrase "without you" over and over again. I think this is one of the weaker tracks as well. (5/10)6. Beautiful Surprise - To make up for the last song, "Beautiful Surprise" is good job. Once again though spiritual content takes backseat. But it is a good song. To all the self-conscience girls out there, this song is for you. (9/10)7. Whatever It Takes - I'm reminded of another song when I hear this one. I cannot recall the name though. But I like this song. It talks about getting back to Christ "whatever it takes". (10/10)8. What Are We Waiting For - This is an "ok" song. I don't really know what to say about it. "What Are We Waiting For" is just about all you hear though. (7/10)9. Never Againg...Again - This is probably the reason I bought the album. "Again" is the most heard word in this song. But it is the second best song on the album I think. (10/10)10. Lead Us - A beautiful song. I can't believe he waited until the end of the CD to show his real talent. This is the best song on the album, without a doubt. Hopefully this will be Nate's sound on his sophomore album. (20/10)All in all "Inside Out" is a pretty cool CD. I would like to hear some piano in his future songs (I'm a piano guy). And I kinda get that Nate tries to be rock but has a pop voice. Perhaps I'm wrong, hopefully I am. But I think his songs are a little to guitar driven.Most likely Nate will appeal to a younger audience of girls. But I think he needs to mature his sound a little and come back about next year with a killer sophomore album."
Awesome Music With Great Message

"I love this cd. It's loud and yet it has a great message. I saw Nate Sallie in concert last June with my other fave singer, Jaci Velasquez. I was right up front and had a blast. I love all his music and hope to see him again soon."
I never heard something like this!!!!

"This is probably the VERY greatest CD I've ever heard! I would have given it all the stars in the sky if I had the chance! If you're like me and like fast, kind of rap/pop music then you'll absolutely LOVE this one! This album is great all the way through, and it is the coolest CD I have! I can listen to the songs over and over again without ever getting tired of them! These are my very favorites (and mind you - [VERY] favorites. I actually love ALL of them) . . .
- Inside Out
- All About You (My VERY VERY favorite)
- Save Me
- Without You
- Beautiful Surprise
- Whatever It Takes
- What Are We Waiting For
That's 3 short of all of them - can you believe that? I could just go on and on forever about how wonderful this CD so to cut it short - you just HAVE to get this CD - even if you don't like this kind of music this CD may just actually get you into it! I never heard something like this, and I'm sure you'll agree if you get it so please do!!!"
UP AND COMING

"Picked up Nate's CD after he contacted our church about a concert and was totally impressed. He is coming in January 2004 to do the concert for a minimal fee. His music is not only full of faith but Nate explores self-image and self-acceptance through several songs. I believe his reach to young people is infinite. Nate puts forth refreshing lyrics and an upbeat sound geared for young teens and adults alike. I highly suggest this CD. Can't wait for the concert or to see where Nate is headed!"
