Out of Egypt:

testimonial

OK, so I've been listening to the Quiet Ones' most recent album, and I confess: I'm a believer. "Isabel" has one of the most "inspiring" hooks I've heard recently. It's almost as good recorded as it is live.

One critical comment, though: the vocals seemed turned up too high, or the singer was strained, or both. Production seems rushed except for a few songs.

More critical/appreciative thoughts later, if one of the Tottens happens upon this and cares to hear them.

Volume 1 has its moments, but John's vocals and lyrics can't stand up to Ryan Dixon's on Volume 2 (the red one). You need to get it, it'll blow you away. Very different, but very good. It also has the advantage of featuring all of the Quiet Ones in the production process, instead of just John Totten. Totten's a great band leader, but Dixon has the lyrical and vocal ability to inspire. And why on earth would you leave out musicians as talented as Chris and David? I know I wouldn't. They're playing for my wedding.
