"Anything from PfR has a touch of greatness. They have the uncanny ability to make beautiful, catchy, touching songs, never repeating themselves, never a dull moment. This CD can never attempt to show the complete spectrum of each PfR CD ("Pray for Rain", "Goldie's Last Day", "Great Lengths", and "Them"), but it does give you a good taste of their outstanding musical ability and creativity. The Late Great PfR also includes 3 (actually 4) new tracks. The 3 listed on the album are "Name" (rock), "Forever" (soft & powerful), and "Fare Thee Well" (a touching farewell). Also included is a bonus track, carefully hidden at the end of the album. (you'll know it when you find it, just let the CD play after track 16, or go to Track 17 and rewind a bit) This one was just for fun.If you are a die-hard PfR Fan, this is a must have. If you haven't heard them before and want to get an idea what their music sounds like, at least listen to a demo of this disc. Also consider their other 4 wonderful projects.Joel, Pat, Mark, if you guys are reading this, Thanks for your last concert in Brainerd. It meant a lot! We love you guys! God bless."

PFR is one of the best examples of modern Christian Music

"In this compilation, PFR gives listeners a glimpse of the past five years of PFR. And songs from every album are taken (with some slight alterations on Pray for Rain and Do You Want To Know Love). While some songs, like Name and Pour Me Out just plain rock, others, like The Love I Know, Wait For The Sun, and Forever are beautiful in both lyrics and song. Many have shared stories of going through a hard time in relationships, then only to hear The Love I Know. The lyrics can be powerful.The Music is varied from Hard Rock to country (the last song, not listed on CD). And It closes with the retrospect, Fare Thee Well. Of the 17 tracks, 3 are new. 2 are from Pray For Rain (1992), 5 are from Goldie's Last Day (1994), 4 are from Great Lengths (1995), and 2 are from Them (1996)."

A band sorely missed in Christian rock

"PFR will be missed more and more as the years go by. The Late Great PFR is a wonderful survey of their greatest songs, and provides a good look at the incredible range of sound they were able to produce. From Beatle-like pop to edgy, distorted rock, PFR was a guaranteed trip every time you listened to them."
