Michael Sweet - Truth

By B. GOODWIN "dragon678" (LIMA, OHIO United States)
This is a quality CD. Not only is the music fresh and kickin', but the lyrics have something good, positive, and real to say. From rockers Achilles Heel & Save Me to wonderful ballads Stone & All I'm Thinking Of Is You that show off his wonderful voice to a couple of very different but very awesome songs I Am Adam & Blue Bleeds Through (this song in particular really shows off his vocal range), this album is SWEET indeed. If your looking for the second coming of Stryper (OZ Fox plays some guitar on this album), this isn't it. Only 1 or 2 songs have the feel of Stryper. This CD is all Michael Sweet and it has a very fresh sound to it. I recommend this CD to anyone who likes to rock and ain't afraid of something a little different.

I've been a Stryper/Michael Sweet fan since 1985 when I first bought "Soldiers Under Command." I was initially disappointed when Michael left the band in 1992 to pursue a solo career, but then became intrigued with the prospect of what his solo material might be like and how it might compare with his work with Stryper. I thought his self-titled 1994 debut was OKAY, but I was much more impressed with his largely acoustic follow-up "Real" (1995). But "Truth" blows away both of its predecessors. Musically, this is Michael's most diverse release to date, and the lyrics show much growth and maturity. Some standout tracks include "I Am Adam," "Save Me," "The Ever After," "Achilles Heel," "Stone" and the title track. Fellow Stryper guitarist Oz Fox plays a guest solo on "The Ever After." "Truth" is Michael Sweet's best release to date, and I look forward to hearing more music from Michael, both with Stryper and as a solo artist.

Hands down, "Album of the Year". A more diversified sound of tunes put together by one artist than I have ever heard. After a five year absence, Michael returns with a rested, more powerful voice and fresh new songs (some re-recorded from previous "Truth" album). A must have for all Stryper, Michael Sweet fans! If you have never heard of this man before, do yourself a favor and listen to this album.....
