Best WOW album ever

"As with many of you, I have purchased every WOW album. There have always been about a fourth of the cuts that were just "OK". Not so with WOW2K. This one REALLY is the best Christian Contemporary music of the year. However, my favorite group, The Waiting, was conspicuously absent. If you are just starting to purchase Christian contemporary music, START WITH THIS! It will give you a good idea of some groups you might want to try more of. Great representative samples of all the best recordings. BTW, I got this for several dollars less at Wal-Mart."
WOW!

"I love this CD. My purple disc got very over worked, since I played it over and over and over and over and over again. If you are new to the Christian music scene, this is the CD to start with. Is has a large variety of the best Christian groups and songs. Some of my personal favorites:PURPLE DISC (this is the sorta more "active" disc-like for teens and stuff)4. "Consume Me" by DC Talk-this song talks about being totally committed and on fire for Jesus. "You consume me...like a burning flame running through my veins."8. "Get Down" by Audio Adrenaline-this song is about humbling yourself. John 3:30 "He must increase, I must decrease."9. "I Want to Know You" by Sonicflood- I have sung this at my church before, and it's one of my favorite worship songs. "I want to know you, I want to hear your voice, I want to know you more."12. "Away From You" The O.C. Supertones- "There's no life away from You." There is no life away from Jesus, simple as that! I especially love the fact that these guys are the Orange County Supertones...since i live in Orange County. :~)14. "The Rumor Weed Song" The W's- this song gets me dancing around my bedroom every time. It's a Veggie Tales song about how rumors are spread.SILVER DISC (the "less active" disc...teens will like it too, though, I'm a teen, I should know...)1. "Speechless" by Steven Curtis Chapman-When you really take the time to get into God's presence, you are speechless when you realize what He has done for you!4. "Show You Love" by Jaci Valasquez-a song about witnessing to people by simply loving them like Jesus did, and does!9. "Revive Us" by Anointed- a song about revival in the body of Christ! 11. "I Will Follow Christ" Clay Crosse-a great song about following Jesus "I will follow Christ, I will run the race, fighting the good fight, standing on my faith."12. "One of These Days" FFH-I love this song! It's about how "one of these days" if you know Jesus, you will go to heaven! "One of these days, I'm gonna see the hands that took the nails for me."15. "Cartoons" by Chris Rice-This is a very unique and FUNNY song! My best friend and her sister and I couldn't stop singing it for days, and we laughed every time we did! It's up to you to buy the CD so you can hear this song and see for yourself...**Basically, this is a great CD! I love all the songs on it, these were just a few of my particular favorites. If you buy this CD, you will not regret it! There is something here for everyone!**"
Not a bad song on here!

"I never thought I'd get into Christian music. I had the Nichole Nordeman CD for a while, and I loved it, but I convinced myself I wouldn't be able to find any other great Christian music. Now I'm seeking, and learning about Christianity, so I decided to give the music another chance. WOW 2000 was the next album I bought - and WOW is right! There's incredible variety here, yet not a single song is a dud. Now I'm going out and buying some of the individual artists' albums!"
What an awesOme and Wonderful cd! WOW!

"I like many of the songs on this album! I have looked for these songs that were hits, but I didn't want to buy a whole bunch of CDs for just one song. This album has all of my favorites on it. The best songs (in my opinion) are: Consume Me, One of These Days, and Always and Forever. All of the songs, however, are awesome, so I recommend that you go out and buy this CD! You won't regret it!"
WOW!

"I stumbled upon it by "accident" and recognized a couple of songs I knew I liked so I went ahead and got it. The rest is history. I adore these CDs. I crank them on my car stereo and there's no sittin' still! I am an Alternative music fan and avoid Country music whenever possible, but I have to admit that the Third Day song is my favorite of them all!"
