There is no question that these ambitious songs prove that any similarity between previous Avalon records and Reborn can certainly end now. With stellar feedback reviews pouring in, one stating that this is the group's "most ambitious to date," other key reviews are touting Avalon and Reborn as:

"...At their finest. It's clear that Avalon is still one of the best in their game."
- JesusFreakHideout.com

"Avalon's latest endeavor is arguably their most ambitious to date...the sound is catchy pop that is very accessible."
- ChristianMusicReview.org

"Avalon will always be known for its polished pop sound and dynamic vocalists (some of the best in the industry) - but they should be commended for stretching here. A great, fresh effort from one of Christian music's mainstays."
-GospelMusicChannel.com

"While this is a new Avalon in many ways, the core sound and components are still very much in place. Big vocals? Check. Stellar harmonies? You bet. Radio-friendly hits? Without a doubt. It's all here and more...a refreshing take on the group's signature sound."
- Soul-Audio.com

"Hands down, Reborn is the best album Avalon has released this decade."
-All Music Guide

So then, what are the fans actually saying? Read on:

"Avalon is back! I am happy to report that I have already worn out every track on this CD! I must say this is one of the most strongest...efforts by a long-running Christian artist I have ever heard. An excellent album - easily the best they've ever produced!"

"I would have to say it's the best Avalon CD to date!"

"This has got to be one of the best releases I've heard in a long time. Great lyrics and sound, but most of all it's a new sound. This group has a great testimony and great hearts for their ministry. If you want an album that will uplift your spirit, this is the one to buy."

"This new sound is incredible! I love how they have been 'Reborn' and they all sound fantastic together!"

To promote their new release, Avalon appeared this week on CBN News Channel's "New Release Tuesday" and are confirmed for upcoming interviews with HearItFirst.com, Don Moen & Friends Radio Show, Gospel Music Channel, Breathecast.com, United News & Information, Soul-Audio.com, and much more.
