What you get for your money are 15 video hits from some of Christian rock's top stars. A good cross section of styles are on show, with artists including Tait, Kutless, Pillar and Thousand Foot Crutch. Five of these videos are meant to be "bonus" items, but I think that's just to make you think you're getting something extra - which you're not. There are also two additional "bonus" videos, which are nothing more than trailers for up and coming releases. One tho' is well worth it, as it's trailing the album of Veggie Tales songs as done by bona-fide rock stars. Favourites of the 15 vids include the wonderful and surprising unplugged of "Further From Myself" by Pillar. The full on metal of "Savior" by Skillet, the brilliant words from Kutless with "Sea Of Faces" - who also are one of the bands who try something more than just a performance vid. A real surprise for me was "Livin' It" by The Cross Movement. Really laying it on the line and a good looking vid filmed somewhere in downtown generic US city. Hip-hop is not normally my thing but this is really catchy, telling it like it is. I would highly recommend this collection. Not just boring, faceless rock music, but music with a message to tell and show. Show this to your non-Christian friends and they might just be pleasantly surprised.
