We've come to expect excellence from the WOW releases, which annually define the state of Christian music in the Word Entertainment world. WOW 2002 proclaims that all is well in the state and backs up the assertion with some 30 tracks. The red disc contains mostly hits tracks, while the gold disc features more adult contemporary numbers. It's nice to see Joy Williams's wonderful "Serious" single included on the red disc, as well as Nicole C. Mullen's underrated "Witness." One of the year's best singles, "All You Got" from Tait, also anchors the red disc. The gold disc's highlights include "This Day" by Steven Curtis Chapman, "We Delight" by Caedmon's Call, and Bebo Norman's "Cover Me." It's really hard to go wrong here, and if you're trying to show a skeptic that Jesus freaks can make mighty "joyful noise," this is the CD to share with them. --Michael Lyttle

One of the best of the WOW Series........2003-11-04

Contemporary Christian music involves such a varied range of styles and mood that to offer a fair and enjoyable sampling is a tough task. In the past, the songs released on WOW anthologies have been conservative at best, profiling mostly the mainstream pop samples of the industry's top artists. With WOW 2002 (and its amazing 2001 predecessor -- which is why my review of this and 2001's issue are pretty similar), listeners who prefer their music a little louder and more energetic are, at last, given attention! Like 2001's sampling, the heavier tunes are mostly centered within one disc, whereas the more mainstream pop tunes on the other. This is an excellent idea, as people can have a "favorite" of the two discs based on their style. Overall the songs flow well together, and you're left with the sense that much care was taken to make this an overall enjoyable, and educational experience. It's a nice feeling to be able to praise God while at the same time slapping your hands on the steering wheel!

Decent.......2003-09-05

This album is decent. i would rather listen to 2003 of Wow, since there is way more music. This is a beginning set into the world, yet there is much rock music to be notice.

Not Wow, but Oh My Gosh 2002!.......2003-06-15

This was the first Christian CD I've ever got, and I immediately fell in love with it. It's how I came to learn about Christian artists and groups. I loved the track by Zoegirl, Elms, and Jennifer Knapp. I could listen to the whole thing for hours and not get tired of it. About 15 times better than Wow 1996 and diverse like nothing else. DEFINITELY a recommendation.

Good for alternative Christain.......2003-03-09

this is a great cd but the songs just don't fit with me. I like more worship songs like "Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble" and songs like that. Im not into the whole christian pop and alternative. Like I said it still has some pretty good songs you may like. If your an alternative Christain fan like "Newsboys" get this but if you like more worship I recommend the cd "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever," or "Wow Worship."

The Best of the Best.......2003-01-10

I used to live in a town without a contemporary Christian music station. So, since 1996, I've relied on the WoW series to find the best Christian music for me... and it's never let me down. 2002 is a great compliation of the newest, hottest Christian songs. If you're a big fan or new to the genre, pick up Wow 2002. You won't be disappointed.
