One of the best Christmas albums in a while. November 17, 2008
This is seriously one of the best Christmas albums that I have heard in a while. It is more low tempo than much of the previous music by Casting Crowns, so I think it may even appeal to some people who are not fans of their other music. My mom grew up listening to music like Karen Carpenter, but she also thinks that this is a good album. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a decent Christmas album.
P.S., I was very pleased to see that this album includes another version of the song "While You Were Sleeping". I consider that one to be the best Casting Crowns song ever.
Your favorite CD this Christmas! November 15, 2008

Casting Crowns has brought old and new together as only true musicians of their caliber can in this brilliant offering for Christmas 2008 that is destined to become your favorite listening CD this season. Traditonal becomes fresh again as Mark Hall and company lend their hearts and unmistakable style to remind us that the music of Christmas is also music for worship. Song meaning has always been of paramount concern for Casting Crowns and "peace on Earth" is the thematic message they wish to convey here. For instance, in a totally original song which kicks off this collection, the meaning of the aging text of "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" is renewed to it's Civil War era significance to instill hope for people living today. I know you will come away from "Peace on Earth" with a heart full of the spirit of Christmas as I did.
Best Christmas CD I've Heard November 13, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
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".
Great Album! November 11, 2008

I was worried that this was going to be Casting Crowns slightly odd take on traditional Christmas music but I was dead wrong. Many of the songs are in the style of Casting Crowns regular music and are really great songs. Mixed in with that are traditional songs done in upbeat but traditional ways. I hesitate to use the word contemporary, because the songs stay true to their traditional arrangements most of the time, they are just performed really well.
Great Album!!! Buy it for sure.

As soon as this CD was released, we purchased it..we love Casting Crowns.
We have not been disappointed!!! The CD is wonderful! Yes.. a lot of traditional Christmas carols, but with 'new' words to some and. The arrangements are different and fresh...the harmonies are absolutely beautiful, and the voices are clear and pure.
It's been in my CD player since I got it...it's that good. It's a CD that I will truly be enjoying all year long.
