Catching the attention of key music leaders, Casting Crowns has become the first artist on a new imprint founded by Mark Miller of country super group Sawyer Brown, and the band's self-titled debut is being produced by Miller and multiple Dove Award winner Steven Curtis Chapman.

Five Stars!| Posted February 22, 2008
Casting Crowns debut album is an amazing album. I can listen to it start to finish without stopping. the messages are great and the song style is very enjoyable to listen to. Every song on it is great! If you haven't heard this album I'd advise you to pick it up ASAP.
A Solid Debut| Posted February 12, 2008
Casting Crowns is one of the most well known Christian groups of today. Their self-titled debut is a powerful blend of challenging lyrics and solid music. "What If His People Prayed" kick starts the album and has one of my favorite lines in any song what if the people turned to Jesus and stopped asking Oprah what to do. Other thoughtful songs include: "If We Are The Body", "Who Am I", "Voice Of Truth", and "American Dream". The album kind of drops off after that but it is still solid. I recommend this CD who likes to hear music with a strong message.
Great CD by CC| Posted January 23, 2008

My Pesonal Favorite| Posted December 15, 2007
This CD is the most touching, inspiring, and meaningful I have ever heard. I especially liked how it starts with inspiring and convicting songs and then sort of transfers to more of worship kind of songs. Here I Go Again always convicts me and Voice of Truth always reminds me to trust in God and try to focus only on Him.
But my all-time favorite is definately Your Love is Extravagant. It is just such a beautiful, simple and pure song of adoration!
A True Worship Album!| Posted September 22, 2007
Casting Crown's first cd was a big hit, as everyone well knows, for the song "If We are the Body", and for good reason! This song was quickly a favorite, and pastors/youth pastors loved it because the message of the song is so true-we need to be reaching out to others & constantly showing them God's love! The cd opens with "What if his people prayed". I personally love this song-straight from God's word! "Voice of Truth", co-written by Steven Curtis Chapman, was another hit with a lot of substance. "Who Am I" was one of my other favorites, because it is something I can really relate to. Sometimes I feel so small, but God still cares about me-how awesome is that?! I like that almost every song on this cd has such a great message, like "American Dream". I like "Life of Praise" because the girl takes the lead, and she has an amazing voice-this song is probably my second favorite song on the album! The only thing I disklike about this album is the last song, "Your Love is Extravagant" just because this song is kind of old and I had just heard it done too many times-I guess I just thought it was a sort of safe way to end the album...
Awesome!| Posted September 01, 2007
It's amazing that a group of youth leaders have retained their sanity AND can put together a CD like this! This is truly a group to continue watching and I pray they will be around for a long time to come sharing such great insights into real christianity.

This debut is one of the best ever in the Christian genre. Every song is so heartfelt and at times convicting. You can see God's hand all over this one. Casting Crowns is setting the bar for Christian artists, and they keep getting better and better.
Championing the Cause| Posted August 07, 2007
Casting Crowns has to be the Premiere Christian band of our time. Their music crosses all boundries and tastes & creates a thirst to know more about the Lord of whom they speak in a way that only they can. Thanks for your portion guys!
WOW!| Posted August 07, 2007
A friend of mine just gave me this CD as a gift, and I was so surprised to learn that I already knew most of the songs on this CD because I heard them on the radio! Casting Crowns has been making hits ever since their debut album, and I still hear these songs on KLOVE Radio!
Now-classic songs include "If We Are The Body" and "Who Am I," both beautiful songs that I can't get tired of. A great praise song comes at the end with "Your Love Is Extravagant," one which many local churches use in services these days.
