Wow Hits 2005 is better, but this is a really good collection of songs that I would recommend for anyone. I really enjoyed most of the songs, (the only one I wasn't quite sure about was 'Phenomonem' by Toby Mac, it was kind of... weird). But other than that I really enjoyed all the songs on the CD and (I could rave on and on about it and bore you to death, but I think I have said enough!) Buy it!

This CD is WONDERFUL - it's one of the first WOWs I got that I didn't have to skip through songs I don't like . . . I like almost all of them! Here are my favorites . . .

He Reigns
Spoken For
Simple Things
All About Love
Great Light Of The World
Lord Have Mercy
Day By Day
You Found Me
Everything To Me
You Are A Child Of Mine
You Get Me
Phenomenon (my VERY favorite - you gotta love TobyMac . . . check out Welcome To Diverse City!)
I Thank You (OK, another VERY favorite - you gotta love her too . . . check out Wait For Me!)
Why Do I Do

Can you believe I like that many? Pretty cool huh? - a WOW that has great songs almost all the way through! I don't even like a lot of those artists or their regular music, but this WOW takes the VERY best and includes them! Even if you aren't into WOW CDs, you still should get this CD - it's fantastic! Every year they have just been getting better and better, and I can't wait to get WOW 2005. It seems that that one is the very best, but I think out of MY collection of almost all of the WOWs - THIS one is the BEST!! If you just starting getting into WOW and are wondering "Which WOW should I get" (I know I did and I was confused), get WOW 2004 ~ I'm sure you'd like it most! Well, thanks for listening to my blabbering, and I hope you will buy this CD soon!

Wait a minute...Wow Hits 2004, compiled in 2003? Is somebody getting a little presumptuous? The compilers have played it safe here, choosing only established mainstream artists to feature in this collection.

In past releases, Wow proved to be an excellent source where we could get a taste of new, up-and-coming or just plain too-quirky-for-radio artists. Sure, it made for some inconsistency in the overall sound, but it gave us a better idea of the diversity of Christian music out there. It gave the little guy a chance to get noticed and appreciated.

This is an outstanding collection of songs and artists, make no mistake about that. It just doesn't cover the same territory that past Wows have. This will be of great appeal to those who embrace the mainstream. Those of us who like to dabble outside that realm will be left slightly wanting.

I bought wow 2003 only a month before I bought this one. I have to say, if you want more ~MOVING~ songs get Wow 2003. But for the best sounding songs, this is your cd!
