DC Talk - Supernatural
Review by Roger Kiener
Supernatural is the fourth studio album by the American Christian rock band, DC Talk. The album was released on September 22, 1998, by ForeFront Records.
The album features a unique blend of rock, pop, and hip-hop with a strong message of faith and spirituality. The band's signature harmonies and catchy hooks are present throughout the album, making it a must-listen for fans of Christian rock.
The album's lead single, "Consume Me," showcases the band's ability to seamlessly blend different genres and create a sound that is both uplifting and inspiring. Other standout tracks include "Into Jesus," "My Friend (So Long)," and "Red Letters."
DC Talk's Supernatural was well-received by critics and fans alike, and it went on to win two Grammy Awards for Best Rock Gospel Album and Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album.

About DC Talk
Christian (R&B / Rap/ Rock) Gospel Group
DC Talk (styled as dc Talk), was a Christian rap and rock trio. The group was formed in Lynchburg, Virginia in 1987 by Toby McKeehan, Michael Tait, and Kevin Max Smith. They have released five major studio albums together: DC Talk (1989), Nu Thang (1990), Free at Last (1992), Jesus Freak (1995), and Supernatural (1998). In 2002, the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music called DC Talk "the most popular overtly Christian act of all time."
In 2000, the group released an EP titled Solo which contained two solo songs from each member. Since that time, DC Talk has been on an indefinite hiatus, and the three band members have each led solo careers. They have performed and recorded individual songs together several times during the 2000s, although the group never officially reunited or disbanded.
The group's musical style evolved significantly throughout their career. Their first two releases, DC Talk and Nu Thang, were of the hip hop genre. DC Talk's third album, Free at Last, also mainly took influence from the hip hop style, although their music began taking on a rock sound. The trio's last two albums, Jesus Freak and Supernatural, were predominantly pop rock.
"DC Talk" was a nickname that Toby Michael McKeehan, later "TobyMac

Summary by Roger Kiener
Comments
Supernatural has lyrics with the right focus and drive - God and His love. This is especially clear on the slower songs. Now, the real question to ask is, does it have good music? The answer is overwhelmingly yes. "Dive" and "My Friend" sound amazing, with great funky, original music. They are both fantastic stand-alone rock songs. The music on the slow songs is mature and layered - just listen to "Consume Me." Another thing that makes Supernatural great is the amazing, distinctive vocals. Kevin Max has a really great voice, and it is used to its fullest on this album. Tait also sounds great, especially when singing with Max. S has substance and a really great, enjoyable sense of style. The only song that I don't like is "Godsend." Just as an extra note: this album is technically impressive. The album cover ties in perfectly with the final song, and it makes the album even cooler.
This is the dvd/vhs version of the concert, but is not the full concert. Here is the full concert:/este es el concierto versión dvd/vhs, pero no es el concierto completo. Aquí está el concierto completo: https://youtu.be/KiQN4vD8Ibk
Very few artist sound just as good live. DC Talk, Jars of Clay, Newsboys, Delirious and Rebecca StJames were the only artist I loved to watch live.
Que bonitos recuerdos yo en ese tiempo tenía 30 años y apenas en mi querida Guatemala sonaban solo en 2 radios pero se escuchaban después de tanto tiempo los vuelvo aescuchar en 2020 aunque ya estamos hastante adultos pero con el corazón siempre joven
buen recuerdo de este grupo que son los mejores
Im so sad they had to stop here... This band was getting really big
Oh Truett!!!?
sorry toby, i disagree with you at 52:35. throughout my lifetime i personally owe no one of any skin color or ethnicity an apology for my own personal actions and behavior. i have lived my life to the best of my ability with jesus as my model. a proper way to interpret the verse you referenced is this: "while we are not held responsible for the sins of our ancestors, we are susceptible to their areas of weakness and should be alert to these inclinations." what's done is done. there is no need for societal apologies or reparations. mlk sufficiently addressed the problem over 50 years ago, it's now up to us individually to carry on the legacy.
I wonder if they ever partied hard n did coke n shit. Not even trolling genuinely super curious how much they participated in the rockstardom
2019 and I would pay anything to see these guys live again
I just heard about Truett’s passing. That is very sad. I remember in early 2000’s watching the VHS and watching the clip of baby Truett. ☹️
sdd! Gratidão.
RIP Truett! When I read the news, my hurt sunk and this was the first video that came to mind! ? Toby, Amanda and the entire family are in my prayers and I’m sure, in the prayers of thousands of people around the world!
