Free Music Review: A wide variety with some PERFECT arrangments!
Hit: 5 Stars

There is such a wide variety of styles and songs on these two cds that you really do find something for just about everyone. Disc one centers more on the lighter and in some places more traditional side of the holiday, while disc two has the more modern feel and arrangements. For me personally, disc two is far and above the quality of disc one though both have their pros and cons.

My most favorite Christmas song ever is "What Chid Is This?" and recently have been digging everywhere and listening to every version of this song I could find, desperately searching for what MercyMe produced here: a very reverent appreciation to the song, but a "modern" twist. This song literally left me speechless after the first listen and sent many chills down my spine. Just perfect. Acoustic based with soaring harmonies and a full orchestra backing. Didn't take more than a few seconds for it to immediately solidify itself as the BEST recording of my favorite song.

Other stellar tracks include Third Day's "Do You Here What I Hear?" that starts quiet with conga drums and builds through to an exciting climax; Caedmon's Call and "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear"--acoustic, upbeat, and the perfect touch of a children's choir; "Breath Of Heaven" by Amy Grant is an instant classic about Mary's apprehension towards raising the Son of God.

Even if you're not fond of the styles of many of the featured artists, the songs on these cds you may end up enjoying more than expected such as: "Sing Mary Sing", "This Christmas", "A Strange Way to Save the World".

Though I myself do not enjoy several songs included, I still gave this 5 stars because of the tracks I do like and I can gaurantee that other people will be just as enthusiastic about the other songs. Only real disappointments: "Little Drummer Boy", "Angles We Have Heard On High", "Winter Wonderland", "Go Tell It On a Mountain."
