WoW 1999 … share it with a friend. [A note printed on the back of the CD]
It is difficult and somewhat unfair to pick and label the “top 30 artists” – I am sure that there will be a few others who feel they should have been included in that classification. However, is packed with big names from across the spectrum of CCM, although I do find it hard to believe that these are the top 30 songs which could have been selected. The tracks are all very competent and well performed, but there are just too many with the same, safe MOR pace and feel. As a result just plods along pretty aimlessly. Newcomers to either CCM or these artists would not have their appetites whetted by this collection. It lacks sparkle, imagination and, at the risk of offending anyone, quality. [Keith Tucker, Cross Rhythms, April 1999]
