Describe it in 20 words	A value-for-money Casting Crowns double-pack, containing a 6-track live CD, plus an accompanying DVD.
Big Themes/Standout Tracks	Sometimes the strength of mini-albums like this is that there aren't any filler tracks - only the best material is included. All of the songs here are good, but mention must be made of "American Dream" as it appears three times: once on the live CD, and twice on the DVD as a concert performance and promotional video.
Anything that lets it down	It seems ungrateful to complain, when you get a CD and a DVD so cheaply, so I won't! However, an accurate observation might be that this is one for the fans only, with bonus tracks and video interviews. If you want to turn someone on to the band, it would probably be better to give them one of the full-length studio-recorded Casting Crowns releases.
Who it sounds like	This is rootsy folk-tinged rock along the lines of Counting Crows (similar name there!) and with a hint of Nickelback. As for Christian bands, if you like Big Daddy Weave or Caedmon's Call, you might like this.
Rating	**** Great stuff
