A bunch of big names are represented on here. As people will see above on the track listing there are plenty of big names to sell a good chunk of CDs. Lyrically this compilation centers around The Passion of the Christ, and they are songs that were inspired by the movie. On the other hand the music is crisp, and well produced, but this compilation sounds like that label threw together something to sell during the time of the DVD release.
Not to say the songs are weak, they are all solid, but at the same time they don't blow you away like the line-up suggests. The songs on here aren't exceptional, but the two that totally blow the other stuff out of the water (but are slower starters) are Charlotte Church's "Finding My Own Way" and Dan Lavery's "To Give Love."
While this isn't a classic compilation it still is good. Check into a little bit of it if you'd like to support your favorite artist.
