 Like other peridic, multi-label compilations, the WoW franchise has never been essential. But it's otherwise necessary to bring casual listeners up to speed to the latest goings-on in dfferent genres. Of course, WoW buyers aren't fanatics by any means, which explains why the product line can get away with songs that are tow or three ye3ars old, and still continue to sell albums by the millions. Will WoW Gospel 2008 continue the platinum-selling streak?

Maybe. There's plenty of current material by some of the biggest names in contemporary gospel, including the latest by The Clark Sisters, Israel & New Breed, Myron Butler & Levi, Yolanda Adams, and John P. Kee, all of whom appear here with their newest contributions. Even songs by Smokie Norful, LaShun Pace, Marvin Sapp, and Tye Tribbett make sense here, even if they're not necessarily their latest hit singles or super current by calender-year standards.
Give WoW Gospel 2008 to any remotely knowledgeable fan of contemporary gospel, and chances are these songs are exactly what they need to get their praise on . Sure, it may not be perfect or essential by any stretch of the imagination, but then again, WoW never made such clainms. It only exists to offer "30 or the year's top gospel artists and songs"-a wide margin of error there, but just what the series needs to get away with its mixed song selection.
