Volume I was one of my favorite comps for a very long time. You have to know I'm always in search of fastpaced melodic punkrock and I'm sure most of you will have noticed that Fat Wreck Chords is my absolute number one label to fill those needs. But these Fat bands are all very well known of course. That's what makes comps like these so magnificent; it's the perfect resource to discover new bands that are on the rise in this compartment. And you can bet some of them will become popular one day. The first comp had 4 blocks of bands from the same label, while on this one they appear mixed, although they always follow the same pattern of labels: Suburban Home and Drive-Thru (who were also part of volume I) and newcomers Fueled By Ramen and Polyvinyl. Polyvinyl was the unknown label to me while I'm pretty familiar with the others thanks to this website. Let's go through the input from the different labels one at a time: People who liked this also liked:           Please login or register to post comments.

This is why I joke. Because stupid people like you will take me seriously and provide me with something to do in my long day at work. God i love punknews.org.... keep it up guys!-pat41 indeed Pat 41, you and I both know you just said it was a joke so you didn't sound like the pussybitch I know you are. Go whine elseware, and try not to be a loser anymore. fuck man fuck. Right down the middle. I figure since I already bought in and thats un-punk I might as well sell out because thats even more un-punk. And hey maybe mypop-punk band will hit it big and I can be bashed on punknews.org!-pat41 So you're saying you broke even? Shit I mean why not. Of course I bought in. Fuck while Im at it I sold out too. -pat41 "He bought in"? What? Shit, Pat did you buy in? Where can I get some? I got out of this with no more money then what I started with.... bought in? what the hell are you talking about. Or did you not understand that this was all a big joke... some people confuse me. -pat41 pat41 is a whiny bitch for not continuing to support his viewing. He bought in, just like everyone. LOSER Hahaha :) I didn't expect that response Pat, waita stop this dumb argument before we all get TOO serious :) nofx is good Alright, thank you both. Shindo and Hein. You guys rock. Made my day. I am sorry I had to bash your review today Hein. It really isnt as bad as I made it out to be. you didnt have to run off and find out my "real identity" though. I have been REALLY bored this week at work so far and needed to have a little fun. Hein you provided hours. I am done now. This is why I love punknews.org because whenever you need to really strech yourself to have fun while confined to a cubicle you can always come here and run your mouth. I actually picked this comp up and its really good. I like most of the songs. While I stick to my guns about the review needing a little work I have to say that this whole comment board has become a joke between me and the kid in the cubicle next to me... who hasnt actually bothered to contribute anything. Oh well. I hope you all have enjoyed your time here as much as I have. Thank you and good night!-pat41 Holy shit I didn't take a look at the comments here until today. You know what Mr. Pat? I finally discovered your true identity. Have a look at it right here and go bitch some more at the little kiddies that are visiting that site while you're at it. Maybe they find it interesting. Oh my, did I hurt your feeling Mr. Hein... oh boo fucking hoo. You know what I have been doing "voicing my opinion". So its ok for me to do that. "Go submit your own reviews" I have and will continue to do so (go check out Sum 41 "All Killer No Filler", Dropkick Murphys "Tha Gangs All here", The Promise Ring "Very Emergency" and Dropkick Murphys Live in Boston St Patricks Day)... maybe you should "look it up, its not that hard". My example may not be any better at explaining the kind of band they are but at least people can relate to the "DriveThru style pop punk" that I mentioned. Maybe you have never heard of this band called NOFX but they have their own style of pop-punk... and dont anybody dare tell me that they arent pop-punk now or I will shoot you. Ever hear of Dillinger Four.. yea they are pop-punk too... a different kind of pop punk than NOFX and the Movielife. I apologize for hurting your feelings man... I hope I didnt demotivate you to write anymore reviews or to stop making your stupid worthless website... oh wait yes I do.-pat41 You make me laugh: "Pop-punk with catchy lyrics, fast guitars and drum beats to match." Damned, that I didn't come up with this incredible original and revealing way of describing how a band sounds. This must be the most used sentence EVER to describe a pop-punk band. What in hell is this telling MORE than just saying a "fast poppunk band"? Submit your own reviews if that's what you think you're good at OK? Oh yea and by the way... How hard is this (since I used the movie life as an example before I will continue): For Mr. Hein who seems to think that he is the end all of intelect and importance with his website that I have never heard of, Dammit, you people are sooo difficult. Yes, this review was posted on my own website punkupdates.com and shoot me...I list the tracks over there and they're not listed here, so that's why I didn't name the Movielife song. (BTW: it's called Hand Grenade). You could have looked it up though, it's not that hard. And correct me if I'm terribly wrong, but wasn't that about the only song that I reviewed where I didn't say how it actually sounded? I just thought most of you would know how this band sounds, now didn't you? And is "fast poppunk" not telling quite enough? Don't know who the MORON is here. Dammit, I get soo angry with these people. Maybe you expected me to spend 15 lines with every song? I wonder who would still be reading it till the end. Here is quite possibly the best (and most obvious) advice I have ever given to a reviewer... when reviewing instead of saying "The Movielife. For me this is my favorite Movielife Song..." Say The Movielife contributed this song it is definitley one of my favorites it sounds like....This example doesnt just go for the movielife it goes for all of the bands... I dont care that you cant wait to see what the starting line could do on their upcoming full length (frankly I couldnt care less about the starting line but thats beside the point) I want to hear about what the song soudns like. and most importantly THE NAME OF THE FUCKING SONG YOU MORON!-pat41 this comp lacked things that make a great come (pretty damn good songs) this comp was pretty lame, and i still fucking hate drive thru how come all the stuff i like on this album(well, not EVERYTHING, but almost) HEIN seems to dislike? While I'm hate(mostly dislike) everything he likes? Fuck man, fuck Yeah, a few of us syndicate our reviews on different sites. As long as the original author is credited / giving permission, it dosent matter. My reviews are usually on PunkUpdates as well... Good for him. That doesn't make my statement any less true or valid. It's "dufus," not "doofus," you shithead. =) Hein, who submitted this review, runs PunkUpdates, doofus Whoops, it's on punkupdates.com. here |
