I love Whitecross, but...

"What is the point of having One More Encore packaged with Unveiled and Equilibrium? With the exception of remade "No Second Chances", the songs on One More Encore come from three albums: Unveiled, Equilibrium, and Flytrap. They should have, instead, put Flytrap in this set. The buyer would only be missing out on one song. The better, and original, version of "No Second Chances" is on the out of print (and hard to find) In The Kingdom anyway.I'm not saying don't buy this set. Unveiled and Equilibrium are great CDs. However, if you find you like the songs from Flytrap that are on One More Encore, you may find yourself forced to hunt that album down as well. For that reason, this is a very disappointing set."

The mega weak collection

"Following Rex Carroll's departure from the group in 1993, Whitecross re-surfaced a couple of years later without him and the sound of the band's music was radically different than on the previous outings. Beginning with the abysmal ''Equilibrium'', Whitecross' music began to seriously lack the direction and feel it once had. To me, At this point in the band's career, Whitecross ceased to be metal and turned into a weak alternative band. As the only Whitecross recording that is still in print, This 3-disc collection isn't even worth the time. Filled with lackluster slow songs and tasteless mid-90's christian rock, This release should be re-titled The Mega Weak Collection. ''Equilibrium'', ''One More Encore'', And ''Unveiled'' are all here on 3 discs. Scott Wenzel's vocals are noticeably weak on a lot of these songs. The post-Rex Carrol years of Whitecross is comparable to the years Lynyrd Skynyrd played on without Ronnie Van Zandt. Worse Yet, Several songs even repeat on the one more encore section of the disc meaning that you'll hear some songs twice! The guy [I forgot his name] who replaced Rex Carroll on guitars would go on to be a future member of MercyMe. Tracy Ferrie, Who replaced the old bass player of Whitecross during the mid-90's, Currently is the replacement to Tim Gaines as the bass player of Stryper. I did however enjoy ''The Balance'' and ''Home In Heaven'', But the rest of the collection is the very worst Whitecross records ever made. Another major turn-off is the remake of ''One More Chance'', Which sounded more like an extremely weak rip-off of Audio Adrenaline and puts the far superior original to shame. People are complaining that ''Flytrap'' [The band's 1996 album] is not included on this set, But it makes no difference to me, This is one set i'll never be listening to again. My advice: Skip this collection, and Either get the way better To The limit: The Best Of Whitecross or get any Whitecross album that was made between 1987 and 1992. The self-titled debut, ''Triumphant Return'', And ''In The Kingdom''. Now, That, Would've been a true Mega 3 Collection. Hope the review helped. Be blessed."
