 "Best WoW CD up to that Time!" | 2005-04-07 |
| - Reviewed By crazysunseteacher |
I have been a big customer of this CD series. I have bought every one of them from 1996-2005. The first few CDs in the series were not that great, because they would have a few contemporary christian songs and then they had a whole bus load of the crummy Gospel music. However, the WoW 1999 was the first year where they really said o.k. lets lose the gospel and stick to the contemporary rock/pop/alternative/rap Christian music. This set includes Third Days wonderful song "Agnus Dei" originally recorded by Michael W. Smith, Third Day takes it into a new genre Rock. Then there is The W's The Devil is Bad a hip swing tune about the temptation of the devil in our lives. Then we have one of the first appearances of Nichole Nordeman and Jeniffer Knapp.
To tell you the truth, if the company who puts out this series had not put this album out, I would not have bought another WoW CD simply because Gospel is not my kind of Music. However, because this CD was released I have continued buying into this franchise and I have been very pleased with every album since. Thank you for reading my review! |

 "One of the Better Wow's" | 2005-03-03 |

| This is one of the best Wow's ever made. It is such a random compilation that it actually works. There were some great bands back then. Three of my favorites Christian Artists, Smalltown Poets, Newsboys, and dc Talk all make an appearance on this stellar album. |

| The only reason this album doesn't get 4 stars, is the inclusion of a few songs that I didn't feel mixed well into the collection. Namely, "His Cheeseburger." Don't get me wrong, the Veggietales are great, but the song on its own doesn't make much sense without the video. However, the album is terrific regardless. It features one song that I am surprised didn't get more airplay "Strollin' on the Water". A very unique sound, that really resonates the longing to take those leaps of faith with Christ. To be fearless for God. |

| This is by far the number one WOW cd of all times. Its got some of the best bands ever on it, like the Newsboys,DC Talk(Before they broke up), Smalltown Poets, Jars of Clay, and Supertones. What a combination! The WOW cds are a great alternative to burning cds. Why do you burn cds? so that you can get all of your favorite songs on one cd. WOW allready has most of my favorite songs on it. So I can legally listen to them. What a great idea! |

| "GREAT First tape....." | 2001-07-24 |

| I absolutly love the first tape/c.d. in this set, the songs are well aranged to compliment and contrast each other. It's uplifting to listen to, and I never hit the skip button. However....the second tape, I don't like at all, and never even listen to anymore, I don't think the songs sound good together, and I just don't think they're as good as the first tape. But, in the end, I'd have to say that the first tape is worth paying for the full set. |

| This c.d. is the best of the WoW's yet. If you like Newsboys, Jars of Clay, DC Talk, Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Jaci Velaquez, and all the rest, you will adore this c.d. It starts out with a bang with DC Talk's "Into Jesus", Newsboys' "Entertaining Angels", and Jars of Clays'"Crazy Times". It ends really slow and sweet, and it has three bonus tracks on it from new christian singers. It has a lot of different types on it, from swing,(the W's song,"The Devil is Bad")Pop,(Out of Eden's,"If you really knew") and a little bit of fun(Veggie Tale's, "His Cheeseburger"). It's got some slow songs for stuff like bible studies, but it also has some rockin' rhythms on it if you just feel like getting up and dancing! You could argue with some of the choices in it(I frankly think they shouldn't have chosen MWS's Give me Love.)But overall this is a really good collection. I wouldn't suggest it to people who are really stuck on tradition, but it's good for teenagers, young adults, and the young at heart. Some of it sounds something like TLC, Backstreet Boys, and Alanis Morisette, for those that normally listen to secular stuff. If you're just getting into christian music, this would give you a wide variety of musicians and styles. This is the c.d. in my collection I listen to the most, and I would reccomend it to anyone who enjoys listening to good music that praises Christ Jesus! |

 "Not the Best of the Year By Far" | 1999-02-02 |

| Some of these songs were awesome. But who picks these songs for the Best of the Year Album? I have Never heard most of these played on the Christian radio! There is even a song about a car for cryin' out loud! The second (silver) cd is the better of the two. I'm just glad I can out filter the songs I don't like on my player. Its ok to be able to sample the artists, but most of the choices are, shall we say, lacking. Point of Grace and Avalon make this cd for me. To Jesus goes the Glory, so let's sing about Him and to Him. And why can't these WOW albums be the top twenty best of the year?? To the Artists: You can say the name Jesus, you're allowed. |

| I truly think that it's the best WOW CD in the whole series. The thing that I really like is that it includes two of Rich Mullins' songs. His music was soo awesome, that he really deserved to have two songs on this album. I love the fact that they actually included a Veggie Tale song! Although it's not my most fav. song of Veggie Tales, I still like it. I'm sooo happy that they included Michael W. Smith's song, "Love Me Good". It's sooo awesome; and that he sang in one of Rich Mullins' songs. That's just great. Well, there you go, to sum it all up, I LOVE IT! (did I mention The W's song? I totally loved that one too) |

| This album still represents "the best of the best," but a lot of the current music isn't in my taste range. Still, Wow 1999 represents the best of what's out there. Is that a second Rich Mullins demo appended to track 16? |

| I bought this CD when I was trying to get back into Christian music and didn't really know what artists were out there. Well, I was in for great surprise. There are so many wonderful songs on this 2 CD set. I have to say that my favorite is Third Day's version of Agnus Dei. That is such beautiful song and whenever I hear it I have to stop whatever I am doing at the moment and just listen and worship the Lord. There are also great songs from Small Town Poets, Jennifer Knapp, Delirious?, and many other great music artists. Overall this CD is a must-have for any music fan. An extra bonus is the bonus track HARD TO GET sung by Rich Mullins. It is a hauntingly beautiful song about trying to find God in the midst of human suffering. Anyway, to sum it up... Get this CD immediately!! |
