Not too bad, though not new... (HA!)

This is a very good collection of songs as everyone else has said, and if you are a casual newsboys fan who has never bought an album, go ahead and get this over Shine: The Hits. It has more recent music on it that you will know, rather than a bunch of the closet hits that more hardcore fans (like myself) are into.
That said, I will say that I did not buy this album. As a fan, I already had all the songs except the two new ones, so I just downloaded those two. Shine had a lot more new songs that made the entire album worth buying even if you already had most of the songs. This album lacks that and will therefore never be a part of my album collection. Another thing that's a little weird is that "Real Good Thing" didn't make the cut on Shine, but makes it here. I mean, I like the song, but it's just strange. I do like the inclusion of "In the Belly of the Whale", but I do wish a few more newsboys songs could've made the list. "Love Liberty Disco" and "Beautiful Sound" have made neither greatest hits album, and that's a shame, as they are both great songs. Also, there's no really old song on here from before they MADE it, like "I Got Your Number" was on the first album. It'd have been nice to see one of those again. Most of this is nitpicky stuff, but things I'd like, so I'm saying them. :) Casual fans, buy it. Hardcore fans, download the extra stuff, then leave it alone.
