50 songs for 7 dolla. thats a deal. a lot of awesome songs and a lot of filler but its still good. flogging molly is my favorite. why is sum 41 on here, they weren't on the tour, and good charlotte sux my wanger.

"Not a hardcore band in the whole bunch."

??? Murphy's Law, Kill Your Idols, Breathe In, Throwdown... plus metalcore type stuff... avenged sevenfold and from autumn to ashes ??

why does every one hate Anti-flag?

I go to one of the richest schools in my state. But the system is different in Australia anyway, so it doesnt count for as much. I'm happy though, Im getting a good education. I'm sure the education that the guys in anti flag got at that school helped them become more aware of the shit they sing about and is probably half the reason they got into this shit in the first place. A lot of ppl on this site seem to be against the whole 'rich punks' thing, but when it all comes down to it, it wasn't anti flag's money, it was their respective parents'. They left school and made it on their own in a punk band, and you all know how much money punk bands that are just starting out get, even the more prominent ones ore earning jack shit in comparison to what a whole lot of my friends parents are getting. I'm sure the situation's the same in the states. anyway, just a little rant of mine.

and i'm from pittsburgh.....and anti flag always has and will suck, especially b4 fat. they went to the richest school in the south hills of pittsburgh too for all u 'punks'.

alright, for a comp this is pretty bomb. its about 7 bux, 5 at the tour for 50 songs. if u like 10 off it thats a pretty good deal. not much hardcore? dude, its a warped tour comp. last i checked over half the bands at it this year are poppunk, and theres usually only about 2 harcore bands there every year anyway, at least mainstage, u get like...snapcase.for those who like the bands, the bosstones song,glassjaw,midtown,swingin utters, finch,NUFAN,tbs,lawrence arms and thursday are some of the best songs off their new releases, if not the best song.that alk3 song is pretty cool, yea its not the best off the new album , but its better than some. a new lagwagon song? bomb. a song off the nofx surfer ep? bomb again. this is a gr8 comp, especially for someone getting into punk, that hasnt heard all these bands. yea thers shit on it but theres def. like 15 or so that kick ass.and it does cover a pretty decent variety of punk.

4 for not enough unreleased stuff. alkaline trio have been my favorite band for about 4 years so having this track on the cd didn't help bring interest. why are sum 41 on this cd?

i don't have this cd for 3 reasons. 1. i am poor. 2.this cd was put together before the tour was finalized, and there's bands on it (like TBS) who aren't playing any of the tour at all. and 3. i am POOR. and dude, no hardcore bands in the whole bunch? throwdown is totally hxc. throwdown and glassjaw are the only bands that make this cd worth buying, IMHO.

Not a hardcore band in the whole bunch.

Perfect way of reviewing this compilation.

Leaving off Anti-Flag was really there only good move.

I can't believe they left Anti-Flag off of the entire thing.

Heh heh, he said Thursday is "the harder stuff".

Dude, Soybomb. AWK is funny and all but you're acting as if its the greatest thing since indoor plumbing. Christ, you need to stop listening to that so much. I'll compare AWK to drugs. You see, drugs are fun, they make things distorted for a while. But some folks just take too many of them. Some can handle it, some can't. You sir are an Andrew WK junkie and I see this as an intervention. If any other Punknews.org reader would like to join me than maybe you will recognize you have a problem, which is the first step towards healing.

I completely agree with the reviewer. For the experienced scene go-er this isn't the most thrilling album as we've already heard a lot of it and tend to skip through the tracks that aren't of a favored ganre or style (for me, the harder stuff, Thursday, Autumn to Ashes etc.). But at the same time, that's why this is great, for someone getting into music this is a great album. They can listen to a variaty of styles (punk, ska, emo, hardcore) and decide what they like and know what bands they should keep an eye out for.

yea soybomb wheres wyzo when we need him!! the awk rocks! but anyway this comp is bomb. its cheap, ane evein if theres only 10 songs on it u llike its worth it. as a huge lagwagon fan i got it for the new lagwagon song, plus, as a listener of many of the other bands, the midtown song, swingin utters, thursday and bosstones songs are arguably the best off their respective releases. a live sum41 song is just wrong though. i don't mind them to much...well i might, but fuck they suck more than blink live.whatever, go to the warped tour and stop bithcing about the scene and corporate sponsorhip. people miss teh opportunity that the warped tour is, a day of unity for everyone in the scene, cuz theres somehting there for all of us, plus a fun attitude for the whole day, a great way to support the bands directily by buying at warped itself, cool place ot get free stuff, and get some educated opinions on politics and racisme, vegan stuff from different booths. ignore the teenyboppers that come just ot see nfg or something. have fun. fuck.

Good review, but a big thumbs down to the organizers of this Warped Tour compilitation.. They forgot to put an Andrew W.K. Track on this CD.. Yes.. AWK.. The band is playing a few days of Warped.. Damn I wish I could go to Buffalo..

Peace,

I really liked this cd, though some songs I really don't like (i.e. Throwdown), and some just don't catch me enough to listen to over again. I thought the Bosstones, Finch, NUFAN, Taking Back Sunday, Madcap, Flogging Molly and Autopilot Off songs were very good.

I think this is a great CD. Definitely better than last year's, and there's great diversity here. Lotsa hardcore, lotsa punk, and lotsa pop-punk. I guess the only thing I would have prefered is mabye some more ska-punk. Reel Big Fish should have been there with the Bosstones. Also, I'm with everyone on the whole head-liners thing. Where's Bad Religion? Were's New Found Glory? I don't mind bands on here that aren't on the tour, but bands that are on the tour should get a spot here.

As for a lot of the bands on the tour not being on the comp I noticed a trend that a lot of the bands not featured on the album have new albums coming out soon or are out now (ie. NFG, Reel Big Fish). Of course there is also the new Bosstones track which is also on their new (amazing) album. I dont really like this comp because I feel like a spent $5 on shit that I have already heard. Of course it was still entertaining... I have been meaning to check out more from Taking Back Sunday and this gave me that chance... I love the Thursday track.. even though I own the album (which I dont really like to listen to with the exceptiong of 3 or 4 songs). I never really thought I would like glassjaw but after hearing their song on this comp and the Atticus comp I think I will definitley look into them some more. I reconfirmed my feelings that the guy from the Lawerence Arms has a SHITTY voice and I really dont like that band. I also reconfirmed that From Autumn to Ashes fucking rocks hard. And my biggest confirmation of the entire album... Manic Hispanic has to be one of the, for lack of a better work, "gimmickiest" bands around. So for me this comp did exactly what a comp is supposed to do... introduce new bands to you and make you aware of the ones you do and dont like.

Where the heck is the Thrice track?!

Personally, I found the 2001 Warped Tour Comp (which I was privledged enough to win via mail in and subsequently bought 3-4 copies of it for friends) was one of the best comps I've ever heard and possibly the best punkrock purchase I've made to date. Why, you ask? Every song was 'rare' or unreleased, meaning even though I had found a few of the tracks on the 'net, 90% of them hadn't been heard anywhere else.

I was expecting the same this year and when I saw the 50 tracks I was amazed and ready to piss my pants, but it turns out that EVERY SINGLE SONG by the bands I liked on this album I ahd heard before, and even 80% or so of the songs by bands I didnt like I had heard (example: good charlotte's sappy shit). I'm not really sure how they selected these bands as I'm sure only half at most do the entire warped tour and as was mentioned before, Bad Religion wasn't included. Ah well, you win some you lose some.

Thursday and From Autumn to Ashes are the only real good bands on this comp. The Flogging Molly song is fun, they always are. Alkaline Trio is good, but this is a shitty song. Same goes with the Lawrence Arms.

honestly, I think this is a damn good review. You cant possibly touch all the bases with 50 songs but I mean I found it informative enough. Good work.

(everyone bitches about bad reviews, why not commend the good ones)

Yeah, this comp is a hard listen. NOFX, Bosstones, Tsunami Bomb, Flogging Molly, Lagwagon, NUFAN, and a few others are great. But it's a hassle skipping through the other stuff (ie like you said, Thursday).

it isnt a real warped comp if the headliner isnt on it... why the hell was there no bad religion song?

Ahaha the Lawrence Arms shouldn't even be on this piece of shit. They got kicked off the damn tour a few years ago for mocking it's wack ass bands, if i'm not mistaken. The only 2 decent bands are the Arms and the Trio --- and of course they picked THE WORST Trio song ever.
