34 Tracks (...), Good Deal!!

I dont want you to think Im acting all smart, but, 34 tracks, (...), that would be...(...) per track. I think thats a good deal!! Besides, if you like variety, this is for you!! I think these are all the different types of music there are: hard rock, rock, light rock, rap, punk rock, and more! Most of the songs on this CD are good, so I reccommend buying this! Thank you for reading this and hope this review helped you!!!

Full Review of Every Song

This is definitely a solid collection of good Christian Rock. Of course there are some misses, but overall it is one of the better compilation albums out there. Now the songs:

DISC 1

1.) Get This Party Started - Tobymac has a lot of songs that aren't so great, but this one is decent. 7/10

2.) Fireproof - One of the harder songs on the album, but a really great song. Good hard rock but not mindless screaming. 9/10

3.) Superfly - If you like the Supertones, then i'm sure this song will be appreciated. I, however, am not a fan of them, but it's still an OK song. 6.5/10

4.) Punk Rawk Show - Classic MxPx. Good punk, but can get old real fast. 7.5/10

5.) Friday Night - Probably shouldn't have been put right after MxPx. Similar style song, but not bad. 7/10

6.) Bounce - Not one of TFK's better songs, but they are still an awesome band. Buy their CD! Anyways, this song still gets high marks. 8.5/10

7.) So Bright - I still haven't made up my mind about superchick yet, but this song is alright. If you like them, you'll like this. 7/10

8.) Speaking in Tongues - Very cool song by a cool band. The Elms are definitely worth checking out and this is a great song. 9/10

9.) Kamikaze - Weird song, but kinda catchy. 7.5/10

10.) To Live - Don't really like this band and the song isn't much better. 6/10

11.) Nobody - Awesome Song. Maybe the best on both discs. I haven't liked other stuff i've heard from Cadet, but this song is awesome. 10/10

12.) Nothing to Lose - Another great band that is well worth checking out. Not one of their best songs either, but still pretty good. 9/10

13.) I'm not Backing Down - First exposure to Holland. Got some potential - not the best song though. 7/10

14.) Baseline - Next, please. 5/10

15.) You already take me there - One of my least favorite of switchfoot's songs, but they are awesome so high marks anyways. 8.5/10

16.) Ready Fuels - Anberlin is a cool band and this is one of their best. In fact, the bonus tracks are some of the best songs on the CD. 9.5/10

17.) Clear - Watashi Wa is definitely more pop than rock, but this is a real catchy song. 9/10

DISC 2

1.) Chap Stick... - A good offering from Relient K. Fits in with their style and is a solid, fun to listen to song. 8/10

2.) Summertime - I just can't listen to this guy's voice for very long, but if you're an AA fan, you'll probably like this song. 4/10

3.) Your Touch - A really great song, one of the best on this disc. 10/10

4.)John Woo - Just Terrible. Newsboys are getting worse and worse. 2/10

5.) The Sound - A deeply moving song. Could listen to this forever. Great band. 10/10

6.) Engage - Pax's first CD was much better, but this is still a good song from a good band. 8/10

7.) It's Goin' Down - Not a big fan of rap/hip-hop so this song is not on the top of my list. 5/10

8.) Take My Life - If you like really powerful voices, you will like Jeremy Camp. Pretty good song too. 8/10

9.) Lift me up - Benjamin Gate is not the greatest band, but they do alright on this song. 7/10

10.) The Glorious Ones - Tree63 is a band with a lot of potential and they show it in these great song. 9/10

11.) Spy - Never really liked Tait, but this song is good in a cheesy kind of way. Not something you'll listen to over and over, but it is unique. 7.5/10

12.) Fire - Delirious is at its best in its worship songs so this song is not their greatest, but it is delirious and they always offer up good stuff. 8/10

13.) I Am - Not feeling it here. 4/10

14.) Kill Me, Heal Me - ARGGGHHH! Skillet has to be the worst band ever. TERRIBLE skip this one please. 1/10

15.) Infected - A unique song. It mixes throaty screaming with soft lyrics and actually pulls it off pretty well. 7.5/10

16.) Monday in Vegas - Lucerin Blue is looking to be a very good band and while I've heard other songs of their's that I like more, this is still a good song. 8/10

17.) Loved Ones - Starflyer 59 is one of the greatest bands ever and this is just a great song. One of the best for sure. 10/10

x2003

X2003 is one of my favorite cd's that I own! It features some great songs that really rock out!
The only reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because there are several songs that are a little too slow for my liking.
But this cd definately rules. It has many differant varieties of rock (soft rock, heavy rock, rap, contemporary-rock, punk, heavy metal) and many differant awsome groups.
Kutless, Pillar, Skillet, Thousand Foot Krutch, Demon Hunter and Pax 217 are some of the heaviest groups on this album, and Tobymac, Newsboys, Audio Adrenaline, Tait, Switchfoot and the Supertones are some of the other softer (but definately not SOFT!) groups. Then there's also inbetween groups, like MxPx, Peace of Mind, The Cross Movement, and Five Iron Frenzy.
Sounds like a cd you could only own in your dreams, doesn't it? And there's many more unnamed groups such as Jeremy Camp, Superchick, Benjamin Gate and Sanctus Real! And MANY, MANY MORE!
What an awsome cd! I want to listen to it just talking about it. This cd rocks, and if you don't own it, BUY IT RIGHT NOW!
