Casting Crowns Album: “Peace On Earth”

I had heard Casting Crowns singing "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" and decided I would buy this CD just for that song. But, as expected from this great group, the other songs are wonderful, too. I will be playing this CD alot during the Christmas season and will still enjoy it after Christmas has come and gone. Even though the songs they are performing are traditional Christmas songs, they sound new, so I find myself listening to the words with new meaning. In one word, I rate this CD as "Wonderful".

Alright. Pure love!! It is the most beautiful music with a twist of melancholy, but not enough to make the listener sad. Only enough to give the chills. And - at the same time it gives me the cheerful christmas mood. I like the fact that casting crowns are combining rock, old psalms (I love old psalms!) with new harmonies, strings, and a few songs they wrote themselves. There are violins or cellos in almost every number. Georgeous. Lovely. Oh just buy it already!!! You won't be disappointed. That would only be because I love it so dearly, that after reading this you're expectations have increased too much... ... What am I talking about. Nonsense! No matter how high your expectations are, they will be met. This is magic. Heaven. Pure Love.

I love this CD so much, I have bought four of them to give as gifts. My favorite song is "While You Were Sleeping." This is the most powerful up-to-date words to a Christmas song I have ever heard. It gives a very needed message. I have a hard time understanding how anyone could rate this CD a one. There is not one song that I am disappointed in. As far as I am concerned, this is a must-have Christmas CD.

This is a great cd. It was great at Christmas, however, I listen to it in my car a lot. There are songs that are not just for Christmas, but for worship. I love it!

I haven't been able to take this CD out of my player in our car and its March 09. I love the lyrics and how the instruments and vocals all blend. Christmas to me is not just Decemeber but every day of the year. The bells want to ring and the heavenly choir wants to remind us no matter what trouble we face in our country, as Christians we can have Peace! God is still in control and we can experience peace in the these turblant times. Life appears so many times to be dim and grim so much haterd, so much violence, so much instability....But praise God the Prince of Peace is not dead and is not asleep... Peace on earth will prevail...
