I love the first CD in this album. I cannot seem to get enough of it. The second CD contains edgier music that does not appeal to me. The lyrics on both CD's are great, however, and I recommend this album to everyone. It would make a great gift for anyone who likes Christian music and wants to grow spiritually.
Great blend on Contemporary Christian music Mar 11, 2007
This album has the hottest Contemporary Christian Music. I Love listening to this album. If you love Contemporary Christian music then this album is a must have.
A Great Collection Mar 4, 2007
The WOW collections are a great way to pick up a good mixture of some of the year's best Christian songs. This album is no exception.
Although I already had about half of the songs on this CD, I decided to go ahead and get it. That was not a mistake.
There are some absolutely terrific songs on this CD by Casting Crowns, Jeremy Camp, and Kutless. In addition, there are many more that I would rate as four star songs. There are no bad songs in this collection.
One real treat for me is 'Atmosphere'. It is a TobyMac song that features dcTalk, so it is essentially a dcTalk song. As their 'Intermission' has been far too long for my liking, this is a good way to get a rarity these days: a new dcTalk tune.
You really can't go wrong with this double CD collection. Buy it and enjoy.
Best one yet! Aug 2, 2006
I play this 2 CD set daily in my livingroom while I have home child care. Kids love the songs and I love the inspiration and feeling of them. This is the best grouping of hits yet!
WOW 2006 Is Another Example of CM's Depth & Maturity Jul 25, 2006
I have been a fan of Contemporary Christian Music since the Jesus People movement of 1972... Yes, I'm older than dirt... :o)
But I have been watching a trend in contemporary Christian music over the last four to five years that I haven't experienced in a very long time. There is a spiritual depth and maturity in the groups and in the lyrics of their music that teaches, uplifts, grounds, encourages, and proclaims the very heart of the gospel--God's grace--truly "The Passion of the Christ."
WOW 2006 is another perfect composite of this life changing message.
So, if you want to "feel good all under" please don't hesitate to purchase this twin CD set. It can truly be life saving and life changing if that's what you need and/or want in your life now.
In a hopeless world there is hope to be found and it is unabashedly proclaimed in this glorious musical collection.
