Press Reviews "It is rare that I get to review such raw talent in the indie market like this. Crisis is a true rock band with more than enough talent for several bands. Diana Tyler has this spectacular voice that one could only dream of having. This music is truly inspirational and an absolute joy to listen to. Crisis is not your stereotypical rock band. Their music ranges from rock to blues to pop with a little bit of country appeal, which is brought forth by the excellent vocals of Diana Tyler. This is truly an album with something for everyone. My favorite song on the album has to be, "No-Blues Blues". This song has a definite blues rock groove going. I suggest that this album be the first on your list." - Gunther G., The Global Muse*****"...gritty bluesy rock, electric guitar-based CCM songs...An enjoyable offering." - Armand Canales, The Critical Review*****"...church songs tailor-made for singing along with and clapping time to...Ms. Tyler's voice is scratchy and soulful..." - Mike M., Listen.com*****"...expert arranging...an awesome array of uplifting, good-time Christian music second to none...talent and expert musicianship rise to the forefront throughout the project...Wonderful, upbeat...rollicking...feet tapping..fun-loving...filled with screaming guitar interludes that are superb! ...awesome harmonies...which are simply mind-blowing! ...catchy pop melodies...done to perfection...Diana Tyler...as a solo artist,...her cream rises to the top on each number that she performs alone...The distinctive voice of Diana...draws comparisons to the rock legend Stevie Nicks,...one that is seldom found in Christian music. Gunther G., of the Global Muse, calls this voice "spectacular". I call it awe-inspiring. Her crystalline, clear voice is angelic at times, shows hints of Bonnie Raitt at times, and at other times has a brashness of a Nashville lass. All told, she--simply put--"COOKS"! Her songwriting needs special mention here, too. Already she has been published for a Sunday School curriculum through the Christian Board of Publication. In addition, ...several songs [are in the contract negotiation stage with] a Nashville music publisher...the songwriting is already garnering much-deserved praise...Her special way of telling a story lyrically is certain to pull at your heartstrings... Totally awesome! Rarely do I harbor this much praise for a "house band" from a local church. But Crisis deserves special kudos...this group...could go far." - JT, JT's Christian Reviews
