Although I'm a big Third Day fan, I bought this mainly for the DVD stuff and was quite pleased with the overall CD/DVD package (the DVD stuff is great for any fan). In fact, I was pretty shocked at how good this CD was. Before I purchased it, I wasn't excited to hear "remakes" of their old stuff; I have all of their albums on my iPod, so why would I need to hear it again? But I tell you what, I absolutely love the new mixes / remakes. For example, I liked how Thief was from their first album, but it wasn't a favorite of mine...something was missing. The new version of Thief on this CD is exactly what was missing. The new arrangement is what this song needed from day 1. I've listed to that song 5-10 times already while working around the house. And, the other songs are just as good. The mix of remakes, new takes, live ones, and rare ones are worth the investment.

If you're the least bit interested, pick it up...you won't be disappointed.

Ok so I am a fan of Third Day and have every album and have been a regular at their shows when they come to town but lately, I have been HOOKED on Hillsong United "United We Stand". So literally for the past month, that is the only cd I have listened to and today was my first break to listen to Third Day's latest and I can say that for all the songs, the little booklet and the DVD, it is an excellent bargain. Plus I love the new remix of Thief (my personal favorite) and My Hope is You is also a great new remix. This should defintely be in your collection if you are a Third Day fan. I don't know if a newcomer could really appreciate it though. I think that if you were newly introduced to them, one should go with Time & Offerings I & II first and then go back and get their other albums....Conspiracy #5 grew on me but once I finally "got" it, I loved it. Regardless, it is an excellent deal and nice suprises and hilarious video outtakes in the DVD. I don't think it is meant to be funny but I thought the video of Thai's first performance was funny and cute. Mac still looks the same but I reckon he will age nicely. I am so glad that they continue to make music that represents and glorifies God and our Saviour and I will continue to look forward to any Third Day creation in the years ahead!!

I have every Third Day CD, and almost didn't get this one because I figured it didn't have anything new on it. Boy , am I glad I didn't pass this one up! The DVD disc alone is worth the purchase price! And then the new version of Thief is a very nice addition. But I have to say my favorite new song ( which is not new. they recorded it in 1999, but never released it) is "Long Time Coming". That is an awesome song! If you like Third Day ( and who couldn't)You will love this song. And the other new/old song, "She Sings in Riddles", is very good too. This set is almost as good as seeing them live, and in one way it's better - You can put it on any time you want to.

Let me start off by saying Third Day's Cronology volume 1 is a fantastic dc/dvd! You are definately getting you're money's worth! Not only are you getting an audio cd packed with hitsongs, rarities, and live performances, you're also gonna a dvd full of realy neat stuff! I'd like to tell you a little about the cd first. The audio portian of this package contains 18 tracks, most of whitch are not available elswhere. You get remixes of songs from the band's debut album simply entitled "Third Day" as well as a newly recorded verssion of"Thief" You get stuff from their 2nd 3rd, and 4th albums, as well as previously unreleased live performances of "Black Bird" and "Alien" There's also a newly recorded verssion of "My Hope is You" But wait there's more! You also get tracks from a rare 1999 ep. Still not convinced this a bargin? The dvd features early videos, live performances, and bootleg videos from the early 90s before Third Day was signed to a record deal. But I'm not quite finished yet! There's also audio commentary from the band durring the early videos and the bootlegs. So there you have it! everything that comes in this wonderful package. I think that Chronology vol 1 is an outstanding retrospective on Third Day's early, as well as an absolute bargin for the price even if you pay fullprice. Trust me you're getting your $'s worth. PS Be on the lookout for Chronology vol2 release date August 17th 2007 Thanks for reading my review. K C stewart

I have all their old CDs so there was no epiphany for me on hearding this new collection, but it's a solid assortment of past hits that can't be faulted.

The video DVD alone is worth the purchase price for the 2-disk set. Seeing the band evolve from their jumpy-punk early videos to GMA spots then on to smooth recent stuff is priceless! Cry out to Jesus still makes me cry.

3 thumbs up!

If you are a Third Day fan this cd/dvd combo is a MUST HAVE!!! It has some great history about the band and you can watch how they have all grown up together. God has tremendously blessed them, because they have all been faithful to Him. I have really enjoyed this collection.

I really had no intention of buying this CD/DVD set as I have all of Third Day's albums so I thought that it would not really be worth it. Was I ever wrong!

This superb collection not only features many of Third Day's best hits from over the years, there are some remixes that are even better than the originals. Before getting this, I would not have thought that possible, but it certainly is the case.

I particularly like the new versions of 'Forever', 'Thief', and 'Nothing At All'. Besides those, there are several little known songs that had been released on EPs long ago.

In addition to the new and re-energized tracks, there are several music videos and some live performances of various songs. There are also some bootleg videos that were taken at the very beginning of the group's formation. They were certainly not as polished in those days, but they are a real treat for any Third Day fan.

This is a great buy. I highly recommend it.

It is really great to hear the bands older music. We started listening recently and after seeing the band perform live, you start to appreciate all their music. A definite addition to anyone's catalogue.

I bought this last week and was blown away by it!! I'm a huge Third Day fan and this project is great for introducing a new fan to their music!! I'll admit that I really never have liked Third Day's earlier stuff but that all changed after listening to the CD and watching the DVD!! Go out and get this one! You absolutely will NOT be disappointed!!

I have most of Third Day's other CDs and DVDs but I still bought this CD/DVD even though I already have most of the songs included here. I love the songs so much that the alternate arrangements or live versions give me a chance to appreciate the songs all over again.

I would say that THIS is the CD to introduce other folks to Third Day...but I could say that about all the other ones I've listened to since starting with "Come Together" a few years back.

They're also a fantastic band to see live if you get the chance!
