This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
THIS IS YOUR TIME was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album.
THIS IS YOUR TIME is Christian hit-maker and two-time Grammy winner Michael W. Smith's 13th studio effort. The singer found his inspiration for the collection in part from the Columbine High School massacre that took place in April 1999. Throughout, the singer urges listeners to make the most of their lives, and to live boldly despite the knowledge that the gift of life can be snuffed out at any time.
The album-opener, "Rince De," with its Celtic undercurrents, calls to mind verdant visions of wind-swept Irish coastlines. A seamless transition is then made to the fist-pumping "Hey You It's Me," is which the singer reminds Christians of the restorative power of their faith and the omnipresence of God. "I Will Be Your Friend" will remind Smith's fans of his chart-topping "I Swear." But what's most appealing about THIS IS YOUR TIME is that Smith couches his inspirational message in terms that are secular enough to allow music lovers of all faiths to enjoy this collection.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Excellent: His best yet
I can't stop listening to this new album. It truly shows Smitty in his prime and even at times has little secrets hidden in his songs (like in "I Still Have the Dream" he starts singing "Day-o, Dayo Day-o" which is from one of his VERY old songs, "Seed to Sow") Besides that, the title cut is easily one of the most inspirational songs of this decade and should be heard by every single soul. And finally, he puts "Anna" on a record! Each song is special in its own way, and you'll be singing Smitty all day long in your head with catchy tunes like "Worth it All" and "Reach Out to Me". Plus "Hey You It's Me", with an introduction only rivaled by "Missing Person". And his great piece written with Chris Rice: "Everybody Free", is the perfect ending to an extraordinary album. Smitty's delievered once again: long live the best songwriter of Christian Music!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Great sequel to his Change Your World album
I thoroughly enjoyed this album! It is hard-hitting and passionate. It shows a great family-man side of Michael W. Smith. Unfortunately, it is too reminiscent of his "Change Your World" album and there is a spot in the bridge of "I Still Have the Dream" that is exactly the same as "Love Crusade," on his "Go West Young Man" album. Aside from that, it is a great album.

It was only a matter of time before Curb Records, the imprint of record producer (and former lieutenant governor of California) Mike Curb, turned its attention to the Mike Curb Congregation. For those who weren't around or have short memories, the Mike Curb Congregation was a large-scale singing group along lines similar to the Ray Conniff Singers but with something of a political edge, akin to the Johnny Mann Singers (remember their upbeat syndicated show Stand Up and Cheer, which aired just as Vietnam was coming to a head and America's campuses were exploding?). The latter was more a matter of nuance that anything else, mostly thanks to Curb's concurrent efforts as head of MGM Records at the end of the 1960s to single-handedly "clean up" the music business by dropping all of the drug-oriented acts from the label -- his big signing as head of the label was the Osmonds. And it meant that the Mike Curb Congregation got to make records, including appearances on several soundtrack albums (most notably Kelly's Heroes) and covers of songs derived from several MGM soundtracks. So this 29-minute CD is a bit suspect, to say the least. But -- and this is the amazing part -- in a dorky sort of way, this disc has its merits. The group sings with more visceral passion than, say, Mitch Miller & the Gang, and has a freer approach to their work than Conniff's group ever did. What's more, they ...
