Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
With an 'alright, this time it's for real' promise, Toby Mac turns the keys of the ignition and hits the gas on Portable Sounds, his third and most impressive solo effort to date. The musician-producer sounds more confident and comfortable than ever before, deftly mixing elements of rap, rock, pop, R&B, funk, and even a little reggae into a deliciously creative entrée. Some of the 'joints on this record' – as Toby Mac's boy TruDog calls them – fall more into one style or another. Yet the world party sound that Toby Mac introduced on his previous Diverse City is built upon here with the opening 'One World' as well as 'No Ordinary Love.' Pop flavors more tracks than before with guitar-driven numbers like 'Made to Love,' 'I'm For You,' and the infectious 'Suddenly.' Fans will also be pleased as TruDog is indeed back on the ridiculously cute 'Hype Man.' Urgent rockers like 'Ignition' and the silky smooth 'Lose My Soul' give even more spice and variety to liven up an already electric mix. The latter track is finely tuned with guest vocals from Kirk Franklin and Toby Mac pal Mandisa. Much like Sting, Toby Mac has transcended a former identity (as part of the D.C. Talk super group) and grown into an artist worthy of merit on his own. Portable Sounds stands up to repeated listens with a fresh and energetic sound and a buoyant and unapologetic joy seldom heard. --Michael Lyttle



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has to be Tobymac's best CD! His music is happy music and has a great meaning. His words keeps my focus where it should be. He's an upcoming artist I hope to hear and see more of.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Toby Mac is a Satanist!!!
I just realized lots of his album covers as well as DC Talk's are blatantly showing their free masons belonging.

Toby Mac is an Illuminati (high ranked free mason like Jay-Z and so many others that r part of our daily lives. The Portable Sound cover is the very obvious symbol of the pyramid and the all seeing eye (stylized of course). This symboil is everywhere: Eiffel Tower, back of 1 dollar bill, Israel Logo etc... You can google "illuminati architecture"

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My 3-year old daughter even loves it!
Another fun and quality album by Toby Mac.
As a teenager I enjoyed DC Talk, but am so glad that Toby Mac went solo. I have enjoyed all of his albums, as well as many of his concerts. I have a hard time listening to kiddie music, so I love it that my 3-year old would rather listen to Toby Mac than her music. :)




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very Original - buy it.
First off he throws down a song unlike any Christian artist. I am new to the Tobymac music this year and can tell you I love it. His sound/genre seems to change depending on the song.

If 311/limpbizkit/blackeyedpeas/Rancid etc were Christian artists and you rolled them up into one. This is what you get. I would like to see him release more music like this album and Diverse City.

His remixed cds are also very good, which is rare in the remix world of bad cds.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The very best yet of Tobymac!


I love every single song on this CD especially the last..."I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY SOUL". Doesn't get much better than this.
