Live the Life (Enhanced CD)
Artist: Michael W Smith
Label: Reunion
Are you a great Michael W Smith fan? "Yes," you say.
Buy this CD. If you aren't take a pass. For your $6.99, you
get two versions of "Live the Life," "Greater than We Understand," and
a Rocketown club remix of "Cry for Love."
The songs are typical MWS songs which isn't bad. The
club mix is interesting but not great. With its computer-generated backgrounds,
the "Live the Life" video is the major find on the enhanced part of the
CD.
Other than that, it's just the usual fan stuff, a few sound bits
from his upcoming album (currently due in the stores in February), and
an excerpt from his new book, Live the Life. The presentation is
excellent but if you aren't a fan, wait for the album as you'll be left
with the feeling of having purchased an advertisement. Isn't it supposed
to work the other way?
These don't seem to exist in the secular market. The question
is "Why are we Christians so willing to spend our money on them?".
There isn't enough there to keep a person interested for more than a couple
of listens.-----Shari Lloyd
