CD Review
Various artists, "WWJD" -- * * *
Label: Forefront
Description: "WWJD" stands for "What Would Jesus
Do?" It's a catchphrase that's riding a wave of popularity
among some Christians. In the liner notes, the musicians explain
how their songs relate to doing what he did. This album contains
15 songs from mostly well-known Christian rock and alternative
rock artists. Most of the songs have an edge, though a couple
are mellow.
Artist bio: Bands included are Big Tent Revival, Newsboys,
Smalltown Poets, Geoff Moore and the Distance, Rebecca St. James,
Bleach, Audio Adrenaline, Considering Lily, Steven Curtis Chapman,
The Waiting, Sarah Masen, Grammatrain, Skillet and dc Talk.
What's good about it: Most of the songs are catchy, and there
are nice amounts of stylistic variety between the bands.
What's bad about it: If creativity is a raging fire, a couple
of these songs are barely smoldering.
Extra: This CD can be played in a computer CD-rom drive. It
features the complete NIV Bible for Mac and PC users.
