In my humble opinion, there has yet to be a christian album that has been able to match the artistic quality of the album Jesus Freak. 5 star record all the way through.
Except that album is a lot older... Most modern fans unfortunately don't know it. I agree that it was phenomenal, but from 1995 until now, there has not been a sonic match.
I agree. It's one of the only albums I've heard where I like every song, and I think each one is expertly written and sung. The album has such a good variety of hip-hop, rock, and everything in between.
I was never into the “awards” stuff. Not that they don’t deserve it. But I know that the truth that they sang/preached had a HUGE impact on my walk with God. I went from a Satanist/atheist to a total Jesus Freak with now a masters degree in Apologetics. Thank you for being faithful!!
That crowd is HYPED!!!! ;) How can you not get up and ROCK with them on this song!?!? Classic group! Ushered this guy into the realm of Christian Rap at the age of around 10 years old!
Katrina Rogers The Beatles were originals and innovators who influenced bands for decades. This song is just a generic Seattle wannabe “grunge” style. Like everyone else was doing after the aforementioned scene started to die. Nothing original or innovative about this at all.
Personal opinion, but christian music hit a definite plateau on the Jesus Freak album. Hard to say before or since such an album that holds up nearly 20 yrs after its release
+Steel305 WOW....just looked up that album and yeah, it comes VERY close to Jesus Freak. Still gotta say JF tops it due to the cross-genres the album holds. Grudge, Alternative, Rock, Rap-Rock, Soul, Pop-Rock.
Totally agree. Christian music was dabbling into mainstream like never before or since. it's a shame the boys broke up because they did so much to advance the christian music scene into something exciting, new, and that attracted young people who were turned off by the stuffy, hymnal, choir predecessors. im not into the Christian music (nor Christian in general) scene anymore, but here I am, listening to some 90's dc Talk. Saw them live a few times. High energy, good message, great music. It's a shame there isn't this kind of motivation anymore in the Christian music genre. They were blazing trails with flame throwers.
if anyone thinks this was the only "Christian music crossing over into mainstream" hasn't paid much attention to music for the past 20 years, or the 10 years prior. Stryper? Underoath? Skillet? Heck, even from that same time frame, Kirk Franklin, Johnny q Public, Michael W Smith, and others made an impact on mainstream industry.
Jamie Valder , Poor kiddo! You were probably too young to remember when those guys WERE DC talk. Good days...good memories. It was fun being a 90s teenager. Wish you could had been there!
Three of the best and most creative musicians in Christian music. What a shame they've never come back together to make one last album and tour one more time.
The Faith & Fame segment for Toby Mac (it's on youtube) mentioned they felt they hit a plateau and needed to try some individual projects. They expected to create as a group again, it just never happened.
Absolutely awesome! I'm definitely a JESUS FREAK! I hope you are too! Praise God for peculiarity!! My BEST FRIEND was BORN IN A MANGER! THANK YOU JESUS!
They rocked that stage and walked of like yea. They changed christian music and would be great to see them reunite. I remember watching this on tv as a kid with my family.
I saw DCT in 1991 when they were the opening act on Michael W. Smith's "Go West Young Man" tour. I eventually got to see them as headliners on both their "Welcome to the Freak Show" and "Supernatural Experience" tours.
I call the 1980's and 1990's the Golden Years of CCM. To me it just hasn't been as memorable the previous 15 years in contrast to music like this. Not many vocal trios have also doubled as full fledged touring bands.
i was a great fan of dctalk,,i remember they toured with michael w smith...they were great live..playing with michael w smith brought them a differnt audience,people who didn't like rap..
I was young when I first heard this. Was this basically when christian music turned awesome? late 90s early 2000s? DC talk, Audio Adrenaline, jars of clay, jaci velasquez, jennifer knapp, newsboys, OC supertones, pax217, plumb, rebbecca st james, old skillet, seventh day slumber, relient k, sonicflood, stacie orrico (pop), steven curtis chapman, superchick, third day, old switchfoot. How was the 80s? not that popular?
If I'm not mistaken, SCC came around in the late 80's, but Christian music as a whole had really taken a break. I mean, Petra, Stryper and others were awesome (I love telling people that I'm 18 and love the 80's) but, after the age of group and quartet singing, with the Imperials and the Blackwoods and The Cathedrals, and the Bill Gaither Trio and others, Christian music took a break in the 70's/80's with Larry Norman, Randy Stonehill, Petra and Stryper, but one guy who's career really jumpstarted during that period was Michael W. Smith. The mid-90's saw the birth of today's CCM. But, as far as the rock goes, Skillet, Switchfoot, Tourniquet, Living Sacrifice, and others. So, yeah, I'd have to agree with you there.
Oh they were. Amy Grant, Rich Mullins, Michael W. Smith, Petra, Stryper, SCC, and on to the early 90's 4Him, Point of Grace. It was just the style that changed in the mid 90's. Even DC Talk started in 1989 with Rap, but then blended it with Rock as the years went on.
@Trygve Nyhaug I would call them Christian alternative at best. Im into very heavy stuff now. Respect for your opinion for sure, but yeah, I can't quite call them "hard rock"
Christianity hit a major revival at this time. I know because I was a big part of it. Unfortunately a lot has happened since, and I think we are about due for a new revival. WWJD
May not be Metallica, but this band was EPIC!!!!!!! I think this could be on par with AC/DC or some other rock bands. Just great. I remember one time i was a kid I was in the McDonalds play place and I was going down the slide singing this song to myself out loud (^__^) Good times......
The boys were so young then. Fantastic group.I didn't get onto them until a few years ago. They turned the Christian music world on it's head. Kids had never heard Christian music like this. They filled stadiums and arenas around the world. They were indeed pioneers of the genre, becoming the first Christian "Rockstars". Two out of the three have gone on to incredible success. Michael Tate has proven a marvelous fit as the frontman of the Aussie group Newsboys. And Mr Toby McKean, well what can you say about Toby. He has stayed on the forefront of progressive, style and genre blending CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) with CHH (Christian Hip Hop and rap), reggae, even country interests to consistently produce fresh, honest music that has proven incredibly commercially successful while still staying true to the Gospel message. Kevin Max on the other hand, despite having an incredible, unique voice has never acheived the levels of success his former bandmates have in the post DC era. I recently found an interview he did while DC was at their peak. He stated that he didn't want his music to be placed in a 'box' labeled "Just Christian", he wished to appeal to a larger audience. How did that work out for Mr Max? Well when is the last time you even heard his name? Probably when TobyMac threw him (and millions of DC talk fans ) a bone and made the song "Love Feels Like" on his awesomeAsUsual new album "This is Not a Test". The rest of the year Kevin tours the medium to largish church circuit and hasn't been heard on Christian radio since DC days. Interestingly, Stacie Orrico, a young rising star in the early 00's mentioned that same 'box' that Kevin alluded to. Her skyrocketing career sputtered and died as fast as it came. The message here? Turn from the true message of Jesus Christ and salvation, and He will turn from you.
Well, concerning Kevin Max and his music, I would seriously suggest listening to his latest album, AWOL, especially the tracks, Prodigal (Run to You) and Yeshua. I would also recommend searching for his song Panic Button. Hope it changes you mind about him. I would also suggest following Kevin on social media. Have a blessed day.

Intermission turned into a 15 year break, I would love to see a farewell tour which Michael Tait has indicated is likely to happen. Then again he is with Newsboys now and Toby is off doing his thing and Kevin Maxx well you can the same about him.
I used to jam out to this back in the day. This, along with Carman, Petra, and all that kind of stuff. Most of it is pretty gay now, but this still jams! I can still appreciate good music when I hear it, even if I don't necessarily hold the same beliefs I did when I was a kid and early teenager. Won't get into what caused the change, but I have my reasons. Regardless, I can appreciate talent when I hear it, and this song is making me nostalgia all over myself right now!
This album was a revelation for me, in more ways than one. It was like my manifesto. I hadn't heard most of these songs though for 15 years because someone broke into my car and stole all my tapes! (Hope they gave it a good listen.) i have ironically, gone in search of this BECAUSE of constantly hearing "contemporary" Christian music whenever I go to the local Salvation Army store. Listening to that over the PA for three hours while going through the racks makes me want to stick a knife in my ears. It's all the SAME SONG!
I watched these guys come together, when we were all in college together. I went and listened to them play "Heavenbound" in college all of those years ago. I still remember Kevin asking my friend Lisa out on a date. A lifetime ago. What a mark they made on Christian music. They were far from perfect, but they ministered to so many along the way. I am glad that I knew them way back when. And that they chose to pursue their dreams.
Im not christian anymore but still come back to this album every few years as its actually a great album, sadly unlike most the of tripe the christian music industry pumps out
Benjamin What happened? How could you be “not Christian” anymore? Once you ask Jesus for forgiveness of sin, the Holy Spirit comes to live in your heart and soul. You can deny the faith but God is there. Unless you never accepted Him to begin with?
This was a game-changer - much in the way Nevermind changed the Rock landscape. Stuff got real. The closet head-banger brethren finally had a voice. I saw them on this tour and Supernatural. It had a rough aspect to it largely due to Kevin Max. I believe he served as a pin to pop the inevitable self-righteousness balloon that comes from Christian music. That being said, I love the solo work of Toby and Michael.
Back story is that mainstream labels were seeking them out but wanting them to tone down their message. Their response? This song...and the Jesus Freak album. It hit the mainstream market with a storm...huge hit...and the lyrics were stronger than ever...rebel-like.

Kevin Max still has one of the best voices ever.

Yes he has a good voice, but sadly, he renounced his Christian beliefs,. Praying for his salvation.

AJ Smith switchfoot anyone? Or Relient k? Their albums are always pretty good all the way through
This song was so far ahead of its time. It could come out in 2023 and still sell.
Some talented gents that were meant to be together performing for God. I never liked rap, but I did when I heard DC Talk.
I love to listen to JESUS FREAK & DC TALK .I still listen to these guys in 2019 ☺😉😃
I was never into the “awards” stuff. Not that they don’t deserve it. But I know that the truth that they sang/preached had a HUGE impact on my walk with God. I went from a Satanist/atheist to a total Jesus Freak with now a masters degree in Apologetics. Thank you for being faithful!!
I remember this night. :) Saw dcTalk many times and met them at their bus one night after the show. My daughter was so HAPPY! :)
If they ever do have a reunion concert, I am THERE! :)
Probably the only time this song was performed live to an audience that stayed seated.
Man I was just thinking, how can they sit there?!
David Weece lol true
Because it's an awards show!
Wah. The best comment I've seen... Yeah, I dont really care if they label me a Jesus freak!!!
Saw them perform this live at the "Freakshow" tour..... epic.....
Me too!!
That crowd is HYPED!!!! ;) How can you not get up and ROCK with them on this song!?!? Classic group! Ushered this guy into the realm of Christian Rap at the age of around 10 years old!
Wow..this song alone got me hooked on these guys. I STILL listen to their oldies. 👍
I bet TobyMac does not miss his "Tom Petty" phase of DC Talk lol. Also, I still crack up at seeing Kevin Max's legs shake at 2:34.
This band changed Christina music forever, my favorite band of all time, they broke the mold with this group
This is so 90's it hurts.
Ya...1996 to be exact. It is a timeless classic though. They will be to Christian music what the Beattles are to mainstream.
And it hurts so good!

Kevin Max is in Audio Adrenaline?!?!? Now if Toby will just join Jars of Clay we will complete the 90s Christian rock pasta salad.
Legendary, I saw them this same year, what a great show.
My favorite band during my college years! Petra's my all time favorite, but they were part of my hip-hop to rock growth.
Three of the best and most creative musicians in Christian music. What a shame they've never come back together to make one last album and tour one more time.
They're doing a Cruise next year...
Not the same as a tour or album though. It's not fair to restrict their official reunion to a cruise, where the cheapest price for a ticket is $750.
Agreed! Especially since I went to every concert they did in Southern Cali...'88-99
lollypop2414 were we ever told why they broke up? Was it ever officially announced? What a shame!

same here!!! At least we have "Love Feels Like"!! XD
Haha, Toby looks like he just stepped out of the '70s. Would like to see his reaction to seeing this video again.

Christian metal maybe a little Christian rock opera. Christian rap. + harmony. they are everything wonderful. God rocks!
Kevin Max, the Christian Bono.

eeeeh
Who's the guitar player?
Julian Rico His name is BB Barcus
Sean Turner and Mark Townsend also played... Mark played lead and Micheal sings on his CD
Their guitarist Mark Townsend is also the man who discovered relient k and produced them
Quite possibly the best song in the history of Christian music and the crowd looked bored? 🤔
So hilarious...these younguns know nothing about that DC Talk. Lol.
How do you go from this to the terrible music out now?

Daniel Colegio oh thank you
Rap isn't his type he's more R&B, so don't be stereotypical cause Toby always liked the rap stuff
