Free Music Review: A baited collection

Probably the most relevant question that a prospective buyer of this album might ask is, "Do I really want to re-purchase songs that I already have, just to get a couple of new songs?" It's what's been debated on the Newsboys website forum. Three songs on this disc represent its marketability:
"I Fought the La..." is a humorous play on the song, "I Fought The Law" (and the law won). It's a song about writer's block, and substituting, "la la la," in place of meaningful lyrics.
"In The Belly Of The Whale" is a song from the Veggie Tales movie. It was played during the credits at the end. It's about Jonah, as one might guess.
"Stay Strong" was the song I bought it for. It's probably one of the most inspired songs they've written yet. It gets airtime on some Christian radio stations.
Yes, these songs can be bought individually as MP3s, which is what some choose to do, rather than buy the whole disc. For those of us who like a nice store-bought disc to slide into the slot of our car's CD player, the MP3 route doesn't really cut it. Fortunately, the other songs on the disc are well-chosen, and the disc has a long run time. Unfortunately, it means that avid fans get to feel stupid for re-purchasing songs that they already own. Had none of the songs been published previously, I'd have given it the full five stars, and that's what it's worth to anyone who doesn't have these songs already. To the person who has all but the above three songs, it only rates about a four. That's my two cents worth.
Free Music Review: Not all of these are worth it
Hit: 4 Stars
I only have 3 newsboys cds but I have to admit it's not their best.I do give it one extra star for the fact that they put Something Beautiful and Entertaining Angels on here, but I gave it only 4 because of the fact that they put 2 or 3 horrible sounding songs with poor lyrics on here.But it was like the rest of the songs were calling out: Listen to meee!but keep in mind that "Spirit Thing" and "In The Belly of The Whale" aren't really worth it.Free Music Review: Good image gain
Hit: 4 Stars
The quality of the image improved something, not all I had expected, but still considerably better than the Sony original cable.
