5.0 out of 5 stars 1991 was a good year,
This album came out just short of the Grunge assult. There were so many bands that got "juked" as a result of the Kurt Cobain era! These guy's had a very cool sound mixed with a funky hard drivin' Lenny Kravitz type vocal and decent guitar riffs. I guess the album just came out at the wrong time. Give this album a listen, these songs still hold up today!
Lord, how I miss 1991...........

5.0 out of 5 stars Funk/Hard Rock Materpiece,
I can still remember hearing this for the first time...how it blew me away with it's great mix of funky hard rock music and great musicianship. This just to me was one of the best debuts back in 1991. A good comparision I can think of to the killer heavy funk on this, is a dash of Living Colour's heavier moments, a bit of Dan Reed Network only much more hard rockin'...an a touch of Bang Tango & Guns & Roses when they play their more rockier stuff...if you liked any of these bands then you really need to check this disc out... "Hands Of Faith" which to me is a classic CD in my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great music,
Totally agree with previous reviews.

Really good album of hard melodic funk rock...Great potential here...could'a been a contender...life is not fair.

Great sound for the time although they might have been a hair too late seeing that Nirvana's Nevermind was released the same year. Nobody was paying any attention as a result. Too bad for Circle of Soul and loads of other bands like them. Not a good time in Rock history as far as I'm concerned.

I actually must say I think these guys are quite good. Remind me a lot of Crown of Thorns, and not just because there are African American band members. The vocals remind me, and a couple of very cool melodic hard rock songs confirm it, for me anyway.

Very cool groove to this band. Funky but melodic. I like it.

Good album. Melodic funky hard rock reminds me a little bit Living Colour.The singer also reminds me mike patton's voice on "the real thing"

I hate bands with funky groovs like DAN REED NETWORK or the CHILLI PEPPERS, but this band is cool. They could have been a megaselling band, cause they are pretty cool, hardrock with energy and vibes.

Exactly shoemaker!!!...."Rusted Love","One Kiss","Hard In The City" & "99 Pounds" are really good and songs...but to be honest the whole album is pretty wild so if you can grab it,do it!!!.90/100
