Not as good as Sunday School songs

"The songs on this particular cd seem to have been written for a musical. They're very...I don't know...gimmicky? The jazzy piano, the dramatic volume changes, even the lyrics. In Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho, the last line goes "And the walls come tumbling....pause pause pause...dowwwwwwn" and you can sort of see these kids waving their hands in a musical dance sort of way. It's sort of annoying. My daughter (3) enjoys them but the lyrics on some are a bit too advanced (some quote directly from the old testament) and sung too quickly for her to get the lyrics herself. I highly recommend Sunday School Songs, also from Cedarmont kids...it has simpler tunes and well-articulated lyrics, and she was able to memorize the lyrics to those herself pretty quickly."
