Let's be clear from the outset that this release is not the soundtrack to the highly anticipated film adaptation of C.S. Lewis' age-old literary classic series: The Chronicles of Narnia. Nevertheless, the first The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe serves as inspiration to a collection of original songs penned by high-profile Christian artists. While knowledge of the books is helpful to grasp the emotional direction of this release, fans don't need to be all too familiar as nearly every song is attractive in its own right. Jars of Clay opens in fine style with the airy "Waiting for the World to Fall" followed by Steven Curtis Chapman's catchy "Remembering You" and Bethany Dillon's delightful "Hero." Other highlights include Delirious' "Stronger," which will remind fans of the band's superb Glo release from years back, and Toby Mac's "New World" which resonates with his street-hot brand of rap-rock. David Crowder fans will be pleasantly surprised with the exotic "Turkish Delight," a fun romp that takes Crowder's musical style the extra mile. Finishing the same way it begins, this Narnia release ends with the infectious "You're the One" from worship leader extraordinaire Chris Tomlin. Lewis' literary series has influenced generations of young believers and now a fine original work of art has encouraged more of the same. --Michael Lyttle

 Moving Religious Music September 15, 2008
I found the album relaxing, and inspirational. The songs were in keeping with the theme of the movie which made the listening experience even more enjoyable. I would recommend this purchase to anyone who was inspired in faith after reading the books.
 An Incomplete Collection February 12, 2007

This collection is incomplete without the celestial sound of Michele Tumes and her "Untamed Lion". Why was this excluded?
Great and complimentary to the movie and the soundtrack January 7, 2007

Everything about the Chronicles of NArnia is amazing; the books, the movie, the sountrack... Therefore, this album has a lot to live up to. But it does its job admiringly. I had never listened to Christian rock before this cd, and it just goes to show that trying new things is really beneficial. The Jars of Clay opener is strong and engaging as well as Camp's "Open Up your Eyes". "Stronger" by Delirious is a light and sweet tune but lacks depth lyrically. The next track however, "Lion", is amazing and probably the best on the cd ("feels like I'm living in a lion's mouth, but the lion is an angel"). "I Will Believe" is a gorgeous sounding composition and then the album bursts loose with the crazy "Turkish Delight" by the DAvid Crowder Band. It's a great foot tapping song with lyrics that tell the exact story of Edmund and his obsession. A few of the songs on this cd are subpar which is why overall it got a 4. Otherwise, it's got some really engaging and creative melodies and is highly recommended to any NArnia lover.
Great CD July 14, 2006

I bought this CD after going to a Rebecca St.James concert and hearing her sing the song Lion. The songs on this CD are well written and well preformed.
Eventhough it's not the soundtrack, but I enjoyed it. June 13, 2006

Firstly, I don't like this album much because it's not my style at all. Mine, well, is Classical, Opera, Choral, and Soundtracks. But, I have to admit that this album is not that bad, I want to tell you that IF you want the movie soundtrack, you should take a carefully look more. It's not quite a good thing that you've purchased the wrong album, and wrote a blaming or bad review back. It's YOUR fault, actually. If you want the soundtrack, you should look at it more carefully. Also, I think it wrote on the cover quite clearly that this album is a 'MUSIC INSPIRED BY' album. However, I wrote this review for this album, not to blame the others, so I would like to begin my EXCLUSIVE FIRST review TRACK-BY-TRACK for Music Inspired by The Chronicles of Narnia. Oops! I almost forget it. I hope that I shall have a chance to write TRACK-BY-TRACK review for the other album, too. My projects are 'The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King' original soundtrack composed by Howard Shore, and 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' ORIGINAL special-edition SOUNDTRACK composed by Harry Gregson-Williams. So, some days later, there might be my review TRACK-BY-TRACK for these spectacular albums. Keep looking on my reviews, then. And Thanks, for the future.
Many of us might remember Steven Curtis Chapman. He wrote a song in the album 'Music Inspired by The Passion of The Christ'. Now, he's back in this album.
All right, I maybe talked too much now. Let's begin my review, then.
Track 1-Waiting for the world to fall
The music was good-written, and I use to have more confident when I listen to this track. Jars of Clay, the band, done this song nicely, and worthy the first song on the album.
Track 2-Remembering You
I think this track should appear in the last track on the album. The lyrics, and the music tell you that whatever may happens, no matter how bad is it, I shall be remembering you. I shall never forget the smell of flowers, or spring, or whatsoever that's good. Yeah, it should be the last track, but...
Track 3-Open up your eyes
The song shows you about new believe, new faith that you need to accept it, and open up your eyes and your mind, to see more in this world. It's good song, but a bit noisy.
Track 4-Hero
This song begins with rock music, but it's nice at the end. Maybe it shows about Aslan, the lion. He, probably related to the song as a Hero that we've been waiting for. However, I don't like the singer. She sings very, very unclear, and very hard to know what she sings.
Track 5-Stronger
Well, it's quite strange track. You see, the first four tracks are quite noisy and fun that pulled us in, but this one is different. It's slow, and not so exciting. And, I have to admit that I don't like the singer. He doesn't seem to pay attention much.
Track 6-Lion
My first listen, I didn't enjoy this track much, but then, when I listen for the fifth time, I think. This track's become my favourite track on the album. It's really a good song that sometimes makes me enjoy, but also, sometimes it makes me sad. I, basically, don't know why, but I really like the lyric of this song. Of course, this song tells you about Aslan. Rebecca St. James has prooved her performence once again. So, sometimes your first listen isn't always correct.
Track 7-New World
I don't like this track much. It's just screaming around like no people does. So, I didn't take my attention listening to this track, and I dare not write my review wrongly. Sorry.
Track 8-I will believe
Another good track in this album. But, it should be more slowly for this song. It's too fast that music does not complicated with the lyric.
Track 9-Turkish delight
I don't like rap music much, this track is for someone who likes rap, I don't like this track as same as New world. Clearly the song relates to Edmund.
Track 10-More than it seems
This track is nice, almost the end of the album. It's a good song and the band played nicely. I enjoyed this track.
Track 11-You're the one
Here we come to the last track on this album. I think it's too rocky song. But, it's just OK. I think Remembering you by Steven Curtis Chapman should come instead of this track to end the album, and move this track to track 2. But, yeah, for someone who likes rock music, he/she might enjoy it.
Here I end my first EXCLUSIVE TRACK-BY-TRACK review for MUSIC INSPIRED BY THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE. Also, I'd be glad if you'll take a look at my review in The Da Vinci Code Soundtrack. Please look forward on my reviews for the other albums. Thank you for your looking in the future.
