5.0 out of 5 stars As Good As It Gets........, November 26, 2005

This review is from: I Can Only Imagine (Audio CD)

I Can Only Imagine is a compilation of probably the best Christian songs ever. They range from older songs(from the 70's) to songs that you may have just recently heard over the past few years. I first saw this CD when I was at my local library and decided to borrow it. Boy, I was glad I did. Honestly, ever song from start to finish touches your soul. You can go through both discs without saying "eh, I wonder what's next?" You can't always say that with CD's, especially two-disc ones. Personally, I think the two most heart-wrenching, touching songs are "I Can Only Imagine" and "Rise Again." If your a newer Christian or have been saved for decades, you will fall in love with these CD's.

5.0 out of 5 stars This will uplift your soul !, March 9, 2005

Dee-Dee (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Can Only Imagine (Audio CD)

I was given this as a gift, and what a soul stirring gift it was.

All the songs are wonderful, but there are 2 right next to each other that I play over and over and over. "Praise The Lord", by The Imperials, and "Rise Again", by Dallas Holm. I hadn't heard the Imperials before and began searching for some of their other works. These two songs are both oldies, but so prescious, and give me such peace just to listen to them. This is a good mix of oldies and newer songs that will open up your soul to release your love and praise. This is a 2 CD set, so you get quite a bit of good music.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Missed Opportunity, August 6, 2005

By 

oso diablo (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Can Only Imagine (Audio CD)

When i first heard of this album's concept and title, i couldn't wait to buy it, track-list unseen. What a missed opportunity! Rather than "power anthems", this CD offers a mis-mash of CCM adult contemporary, covers, and the occasional actual power anthem.

I mean, i love the song Butterfly Kisses, but it's not anywhere close to a power anthem. Where's Trumpet of Jesus, by the Imperials? Or My Glorious, by Delirious??

A greater disappointment is that some songs aren't even the power version that you've come to know and love. Such as God of Wonders. Here you don't get the outstanding original by Caedmon's Call/Mac Powell, but a cover by Paul Baloche.

So, what could have been a double-CD set that never left my rotation became just another shelf filler. 3 stars because these are excellent songs, just not power anthems.
