------------------------------
Purple beats silver.At least in the case of WoW 2000.
The purple disc kicks off with "Gravity" by Delirious?
and it's not perfect,but it's good enough so you won't
skip it."Nobody Loves Me Like You" is good soft music 
by Jars of Clay,significantly better than "Gravity"
But this CD really shines in the three songs by the 
three best Christian bands(at least in my opinion).
"Love Liberty Disco" is addictive dance/disco beat 
with a great message,though not as good as the 
previous Newsboys' releases."Consume Me" is cool.
Not excellent,but it's good and it's got a good 
message and it's addicting.Third Day changes styles a
bit with "I've Always Loved You" which I don't like 
at all because it sounds like Country,but if you like 
Country I guess you would like it."Thankful"...hmmm.
I suppose it's ok.Jennifer Knapp shows up with "A Little
More".It's cool,especially with the guitar unveiled 
in the chorus."Get Down" is great.It shows that it 
should be played on radio stations around the country.
Audio Adrenaline put together a great one.
"I Want to Know You(In the Secret) is "Youth Rock".You
know,high energy,uplifting music.It's good.You can 
kinda imagine the band rockin' in a garage.Since R&B and
Hip-Hop are not my thing, asked my bro,who is more into 
it than I what he thought of "River".He thinks it's 
great,giving it a 4.5 out of 5.0 rating."Basic 
Instructions" sounds like something foreign,but I 
just...can't...place...it.It's cool,though(Is it 
Russian?Latin?)."Away From You" comes across very
lighthearted,fun,and GREAT! It's perfect!Kinda like ska
or beach music.It's very cool."Stranded" by Plumb is well
,kinda o.k.and kinda no good.Sounds too much like that 
mindless drivel we hear on pop radio.I suppose if you 
like that stuff,you'll like this too.
The W's are okay with the Veggietales' themed 
"Rumor Weed Song."It sounds like
Big Band.Or something.It's also,not my type of music.
Raze comes through very strong with "Always and Forever"
I don't even like Pop and Hip-Hop like that,but this is 
totally cool!I like it,and I don't even like that type
of music!It's that good.
