Over a year ago the debut album from pop quartet True Vibe released on Essential Records, now they are back with their sophomore release See the Light.
This album is definitely a mixed bag. After releasing an upbeat debut album you would expect them to stay along those lines, but instead we have received an album that is basically full of ballads. Sure there are a few songs that are more upbeat than the rest such as the title track, "Supernatural," "More," and (possibly) "Stay," but that is about it, which is a definite disappointment after such a strong self titled previous release. Remember to listen to clips on-line or demo the album in stores before picking it up, just in case.
Even so, from "You Are Holy" to the a cappella "Not What I Say (But What I Do)," the ballads are done fairly well for the most part, but again, not what you would expect coming from True Vibe.
Overall, this album is (like I said) disappointing...almost leaves one speechless. Let's just hope that True Vibe will go back to their original roots next time around.

The Phantom Tollbooth 2002Reviewed by John WehrleTrue Vibe jumps back into the world of boy band music with their sophomore release of See the Light. If Plus One represents the 'NSYNC of Christian music, then True Vibe takes the place of the Backstreet Boys. The CD flows well for a sophomore release, and one can honestly tell at first listen that the guys were trying something when they decided to start their second project. The album moves…Similar sounding releases
