This is an interesting little album that's sold only in Family Christian Bookstores. They take 7 of their previous songs and remake them. Some are quite nice, some weren't my favorite. The three new songs were pretty good, if not a bit short like many of their songs. Basically the remakes weren't really necessary because their originals were good-great, but if you can find this cheap at the Family Christian Bookstore, pick it up. This is mainly for hardcore fans. For beginningers pick up their greatest hits on "The Late Great PFR."

5.0 out of 5 stars New Versions Old Much-Loved Songs, Plus Three New Ones, July 20, 2010

Some may say it is not as good as PFR's other albums, but that's not fair. With this album, PFR revisits some of their best-loved tunes and gives them new, very different recordings. For example, if you're familiar with the hard-driven "Last Breath," then the largely acoustic version on this disc may cause a double-take at first. But give it a try! Revised versions of PFR songs are better than most of the other mediocrity being recorded these days.

Plus, you get three new tracks, the best of which is "Prayer For Beslan," a reaction to the September 2004 Beslan Massacre in Russia, which claimed over 300 lives, including many children. (Remember Beslan?)

This is a must for PFR fans and completists!

7 of their old tunes plus 3 new ones -- this album may not be the best thing they've ever done, but it is so much better than the majority of music that is being put out there it is not funny. My only complaint is that I wish there had been more . . .
