"The second CD for Tree63 is a tad different from their first. I find it to be less overtly praise and worshipful than their first CD, which has some of the best praise rock songs ever recorded. Additionally, the production values on this one are better than the first (which I find is a double-edged sword...this CD "sounds" better than the first, but the production seems to diminish some of the raw emotion I found their first CD had).Enough of the comparisons. Reviewing this CD as a stand-alone is easy. This is incredible music by talented musicians. Driving rhythms, slashing guitars, great vocals, wonderful melodies, loving lyrics...it's all here. As I said with the first CD...this is music that U2 would have done had they gone Christian instead of secular.If you are a rock fan...Christian or not...pick this up the first chance you get. You will not regret it."
Proudly South African!

"Tree63 have found a way to evolve from their last album while still keeping enough of what made it easy to love their music from the previous album... My wife and I struggled almost for 2 months to get our hands on a copy of this album.... it was sold out everywhere we looked in Johannesburg South Africa, but was well worth the wait. I'd definitely recommend this album to anyone who enjoys Delirious, Sonic Flood or U2."
Surprise Surprise!

"A refreshing change from the usual obvious and bland Christian music, this CD has an overwhelming sense of sincerity and depth seldom found in Christian music. Intelligent and inspirational lyrics combined with obvious musical gifting makes a very satisfying listen over and over."
All hands up for Tree63

"One of the best recent alternative Christian rock CD's. Upbeat with great messages and lyrics. Tree63's 2 releases are amazing - with clear, haunting voice, wonderful tempo changes, and stick-in-your-head melodies. Super vocals and guitar with "Anxious Seat". If your looking for a fresh new sound, give this group a try. Your liable to get hooked!"
Tree 63!

"Ok, this really is different then their first release. You can tell its them in several of these recordings though! Personally, when I got this recording by them; I expected that I was going to hear something else then what was recorded. I think that this group has much too offer to many listeners. I however, still like the first release much better!"
