wow great music

great Christian rock

while I prefer to listen to gospel music as opposed to just "Christian" music, the disc doens't leave much to be desired.

I like rock, and I also like some hard rock, but is this rock? There are some songs on here that shouldn't be considered rock. Yeah, maybe hip hop rock (like Linkin Park for instance). Personally I don't like "rock" artists that rap a lot in their music (like Toby Mac), although, some of it sounds good, I just don't find rapping in rock music to be that great. But honestly, the last bonus track is clearly a rap song. I like some rap music, but it isn't rock and further more, I don't even like the song as a "rap" song. This album is stating that it's Christian rock hits, but the last track isn't even rock. What's the deal with that? There are some good quality rock hits on here, like Audio Adrenaline, 12 Stones and Plus One (who used to be a "pop" band). Some of the songs on here sound almost the same or like something I have heard on the radio. FM Static? I have never heard of the band, and the song that they sing isn't even Christian. I mean, they're perhaps a Christian band, but what the song is all about is a girl named Katie who has a boyfriend who perhaps doesn't love her. It's all about teen love and stuff like that. I find the song to be rather annoying, musically. I don't understand why this is a hit? Why do people like this stuff? Seriously. My advice is to check out something different. Most of this sounds like mainstream rock music that the teenagers of this generation conform their lifestyle too. I don't mean to offend anyone who enjoys these artists personally. I like a few of these artists myself. I'm just disappointed with how Christian "Rock" music is going to these days...

This cd absolutly rocks! I gave it four stars because there is to much rap on it for me. This cd is great if you are on a sports team that takes long trips or you just take long trips. I have listened so often that the case has deteriorated!<br />The songs and artests are:<br />1."Savior"-Skillet<br />2."Treason'-Kutless<br />3."One Phenom"(Remix)-Tobymac<br />4."Rwakfist"-Thousand doot Krutch<br />5."I am Understood"- Relient K<br />6."Defiently Maybe"-Fm Static<br />7."Bring me Down"- pillar<br />8."Rock on"-KJ-52<br />9."Worldwide:Two"-Audio Adrenaline<br />10."Running Through my Mind"-Big Dismal<br />11."Freedom to Feel"-John Reuben<br />12."Landslide"-seven Places<br />13."Poor Man" Plus One<br />14."Hero (red pill remix)- Superchic[k]<br />15"Numb"-Tait<br />16."Stay"-Jermy Camp<br />17."Crash"-12 Stones<br />18.(Bonus track)"Livin' it"-The Cross Movement<br />

This cd would be good if you had like a small collection of cd's. I, on the other hand, have a ton of cd's and I have most of the cd's of the bands that are on this cd. So if you r a huge fanatic of christian music(like me) and have a ton of christian music cds(like me) then I wouldn't suggest you in buying it. If you are just getting into christian music, and want to know what bands sound good, then this cd would be perfect for you.

Having been out of the Christian hard rock/alternative music scene for several years this album brought me up to speed with today's bands. I only wish there was more music like this when I was in high school...I had to settle for Stryper, Bloodgood and Whitecross.
