I bought this cd awhile back. I thought it was okay, but a bit repetitive. I like the later Tobymac a lot better, however I still think this album is worth listening to. My favorite songs are "Burn for You" and "Gone".
Awesome album
This is an awesome album from tobyMac. Apart from
Tonight, I think this is his best project. It features great songs like Catchafire, Burn For You, Diverse City, The Slam and Getaway Car.
Welcome TO DIVERSE CITAAA
"tobyMac's" Sophomore release is a smashing hit with singles like "Gone", "Catchafire(Whoopsie-Daisy)" and "Diverse City"
"Hey Now”, a urban sounding song, has catchy vocals and a cool rap in the second verse. "Catchafire (Whoopsie-Daisy) has a more alternative rock sound with lyrics that will stay in your head for months."The Slam" is an excellent song with some rap/rock in it. (It suits Toby well.)
"Poetically Correct", is a weird interlude, in a good way. "Atmosphere" which is the only song I don't like on the album, has a slow DC TALK feel, hence the "Atmosphere" (remix) with DC TALK. "Gone", "Diverse City", "Gotta Go" and "Getaway Car" are a mix of Alternative Rock, Pop, Urban, and Rap. "TruDog: The Return" is nice track featuring the one and only Truette (Toby's son)
"tobyMac" truly has bought home a winner with a Diverse sound in each and every song. If you are going to pick up any "tobyMac" CD this should be your first.
Okay
I love this cd. It's not my favorite though. I like portable sounds better but its still really good. Hey now, Catchafire, The Slam, Diverse City, Burn For You, and Ill-M-I are the best songs on the Cd.
Pretty good!
My favourite song is "Atmosphere". Both versions are good, I don't have a personal favourite, as they are very similar. The rest of the album is solid too. Worth the money!
Welcome to the Diverse City
First off, I liked the songs "Catchafire" and "Ill-M-I" because they had an awesome beat. Then there was "Gone" which had a catchy tune and a storyline within the lyrics. "Burn For You" was also an interesting song that was really catchy. I liked "The Slam" because although it was a little hardcore, it actually had some good lyrics and was kind of catchy.
And finally, there's "Diverse City" which kind of became his anthem. I liked the upbeatness up it; it's a song you've just got to get up and dance to. But it also has some meaning to it:
"We will never become that shining city on a hill
until we truly become a diverse city."
It tells how we should accept all races and skin colors because we are all brothers and sisters of Christ. I think that is what tobyMac is all about.
My favorite song would have to be "Gotta Go&qu...
In this cd, tobyMac welcomes us to a place called Diverse City. It starts with a song called "Hey Now" which is fitting for a first song because it pretty much talks about him being back. We didn't see the last of him with Momentum. He's just getting started.

My favorite song would have to be "Gotta Go" just because it takes skill and creativity to create a song out of just a few phone calls.
Overall I'd say this was a great accomplishment for tobyMac and one of his best cds yet.
Love It
I love his style of music. It's a great album.

Less Rock, More Soul
tobyMac's sophomore solo album is different than the debut. It's more soulful and it's awesome.
tobyMac
This album awesome! My favorite songs are "Burn For You", "Getaway Car", "Phenomenon."
What's the word?...Diverse!
This album is so great. My all-time tobyMac favorite. Each song is unique in one way or another.But yet each song is the same in one way...They're all great!My favorite song on here would probably be Catchafire or Diverse City.I would definitely recommed this cd and check out other tobymac album too.
Every Song An Awesome Song
It's..well...diverse
I became a fan of Tobymac only a few months ago when I went to see a Family Force 5 concert that he was headlining. I didn’t actually see him, but my dad did and he totally loved it. He went out and bought two of his albums and I listened to them. I was blown away. This album is really diverse (who would have known?) ‘Catchafire’ and ‘Burn For You’ are my absolute favorites. They’re so well put together and the lyrics are so uplifting. This album shows the brilliance of Tobymac and he’s great in concert. This album will blow your mind, trust me on this one.
diversifying Christian music
This second album from Toby Mac takes a slightly different turn stylistically and creates an album almost as powerful as his debut Momentum. “The Slam†isn’t quite as strong lyrically or musically as the similar rock songs “Momentum†or “Extreme Days†on Toby’s debut album. I could also do without the speaking interludes (ex. “Poetically Correctâ€), which were tolerable in Momentum but are not as good here. They create an interesting break between songs but in general I don’t like them. However, a welcome surprise to the end of the album is a remix of “Atmosphere†featuring the other two members of dc talk, Michael Tait and Kevin Max, reminding me how much I miss hearing their voices together. Overall though, this is a great album as Toby creates an album unlike anyone else in this industry, combining great songs and production with many different music genres.
Welcome To Diverse City
This CD is pretty sweet. I really like the songs "Catchafire" and "The Slam" the best.
TobyMac
Diverse City and Burn For You are AWESOME songs! A must have album for any dc Talk fan!
Tobymac's greatest album
Ever since dc Talk, Tobymac has performed better than Tait or Kevin Max, and this shows it. Fast-paced songs you can enjoy driving down the highway.
tobyMac Rocks!!
On this album toby totally takes it to the limits.. He is one of the best in his genre..
With very catchy songs, he will have you singing along..Powerful message in his lyrics too!
Here we go again ; )
This cd was one of the one's that I really liked the first couple of times I listend to it.
I still like it, but it needs something.
I don't know maybe it's just me. I do like a lot of the songs on this cd. Stories, LMI, and Diverse
City. All together a ,good, Cd.
Good but still room for improvement
Welcome Diverse City, Toby Mac’s second album, Is a great hybrid of rock fused hip-hop as Toby Mac moves closer to perfecting his own signature sound.
Welcome to Diverse City has a more refined sound than momentum, his first CD, and a more consistent tune. The beats are good, but Toby Macs creativity is the huge part of his success. The album is loaded with hits like “goneâ€, “atmosphereâ€, and “burn for youâ€, and the title track, which all sound terrific. “The slam†is an excellent rock/rap song, but from there the 16 track CD gets less smooth. There are good fun hip-hop songs like “gotta goâ€, “hey nowâ€, and “getaway car†but there seems to be several other half-hearted songs on the CD.
Toby Mac has some great songs on Welcome to Diverse City almost all the songs are good and meaningful, but there are songs like “the slam†that are really good. Pick almost any song on the album and there are good lyrics, and great messages.
Welcome to diverse City is an improvement from momentum, but the CD is not perfect. Toby Mac needs to make all of his songs as good as his radio singles.
=)
i love this cd he is a great singer
crackin' tha code
Although my review may be a little biased when it comes ta Toby (one of my favorites) I must say that the concept of this album really hits the proverbial nail on the head. If revival is to happen in our world, it will be through the unity of the brethren standing together in truth for the purpose of winning souls to Christ.
Thanks again T.
