    As a true work of art, Saturate falls short- it's really the same thing we've heard so many times before, albeit it's much more well-crafted.

There was an intensity on Sonicflood's first CD that is sadly missing from most worship music, but Deyo brings that passion back on Saturate. As pop/rock, Saturate is merely ok, but as a worship album, it's truly moving.

Sure it has its up and down times, but most of them are up! It has 15 tracks, and a lot of them are quite enjoyable. However, there are two instrumental tracks, which I am not quite sure what was the point of adding them. And they aren't that short either... with one clocking in at 3:04 minutes then…The Phantom Tollbooth 2002Reviewed by Bert GanglA singer's decision to step away from the front position of a successful recording outfit can be a daunting one, particularly in light of results that can fall at any point between magnificent and disastrous. While artists as varied as Ozzy Osbourne and Diana Ross have been able to translate their group-related successes into more or less equal quantities as individual performers, others like Rod…
