There is no true way to review this compilation without saying "buy it now, you schmuck." Sure, over the course of the two-disc, 42-track release, there's quite a few duds. And every time I think about putting pen to paper [er, finger to keyboard?] to voice hatred to, say, Fear Before The March Of Flames or Recover, I restrain myself. Why? Well, because this whole project was compiled simply to raise money for the Sean McGrath Fund and Syrentha Savio Endowment, two cancer-prevention charities with big ties to the punk rock scene. So essentially, for me to complain about quality of some of the bands/songs on this compilation pretty much stamps my one-way ticket to hell. Instead, we'll focus on the musical postiives: People who liked this also liked:           Please login or register to post comments. What are the benefits of having a Punknews.org account?
Decent album, great cause. While there's alot of shit, Paint It Black, MCS, The Loved Ones, Emmanuel, and a few other tracks make it worthwhile. 'And a surprisingly strong showing from Face To Face' I saw Seconds to go in Portland...they were really good. I bought my copy of this at Best Buy; something tells me you won't be able to find the Colossal CD there, though. Just order it through Asian Man, their prices are dirt cheap. also, does best buy carry this or the new colossal cd? Hows the new Big D track? Goddammit, I can't find this anywhere. Internet shopping, here I come! score for the RECO track, killer bra The score is for the cause. My mom had stage 3 lung cancer & had 1/3 of her right lung removed. Nothings worse than going to a cancer hospital every day for months while a loved one gets radiation & chemo. My mom was in bad shape, but there were alot of people in far worse shape than her. She had the surgery & is getting better daily. In the months since, she grew her hair & put back on some weight. Just had her six month check up & she's still clean. *KNOCKS ON WOOD* As anyone who has gone through this or similar, you know you wouldnt wish it on anyone "Lousy Indie music store clerks. Best Buy it is." Violence is never the answer. Great review, agreed with most everything you said: MCS and Melee were my favorite bands at the Warped Tour, glad to see people are finally appreicating them. Haha, I'm not hatin rec and tape, I've got the card. It's more so the one here in Westminster I dont like. So how is the Gatsbys song? "Anyone know where I can get an MP3 of the Motion City Sountrack song? I really need an acoustic version of that song for a project I'm doing, but can't find the comp anywhere." Dont hate on record and tape traders yo...Buy a club card I went to my local indie store who hadn't even heard of the comp ["Are you sure it's coming out? Maybe it's been pushed back." Fucking moron record store clerks], so they quickly lost my business to the nearby Best Buy, which had it in stock. this title reminds me of an onion article. its hilarious "Anyone know where I can get an MP3 of the Motion City Sountrack song? I really need an acoustic version of that song for a project I'm doing, but can't find the comp anywhere." Cancer sucks. This is a good CD. If you don't buy it, you support cancer's crusade against good people. Plus, it also means you love terrorism. Anyone know where I can get an MP3 of the Motion City Sountrack song? I really need an acoustic version of that song for a project I'm doing, but can't find the comp anywhere. Seconds to go was just out on tour with Face to Face and my chemical romance for the farewell tour. Why is everyone so anti-scott all of a sudden? I'm not "kissing his ass" or anything, I'm just saying, do you want him to talk about EVERY song on a 40-something song compilation? I think he is doing a good job and even if I don't agree with his reviews 100% I still think he is good at letting you know alot about an album(what it sounds like, etc). I wanna hear that De-whatever ATDI ripoff song. scott, why don' t you drink you fucking pussy? do some drugs, maybe these reviews will get better. fucking straight edge faggot. Very little mention of Somerset in this review...you're slipping Scott. Ahaha, I IM'd his radio station once claiming I was Jesus "has anyone else noticed that scott, since hes departure from his postion on this site, has started callin people *fuckin morons* a lot?" that seconds to go band sounds pretty rad. has anyone heard of them? are they touring or anything? has anyone else noticed that scott, since hes departure from his postion on this site, has started callin people *fuckin morons* a lot? "pull your poster i've been looking for some anSWERS" pull your poster i've been looking for some anSWERS i said i'm gonna have myself in shambles "As for the live tracks present, Jawbreaker's "Kiss The Bottle" is by-the-book, My Chemical Romance's "Headfirst For Halos" is by-the-suck, and the Bouncing Souls' "True Believers" is off-the-hook." hows the kicked in the head track? Score is for The Casket Lottery I said I skimmed through it...I was trying to wade through the crappy bands he was talking about and I missed it, he still didn't mention the Paint It Black or The Loved Ones songs... "Sorry, the review had so many shitty bands I didn't feel like wading through them..." My Chemical Romance's "Headfirst For Halos" is by-the-suck hey idiot, i have cancer He basically just thanks the listener for buying the comp, and talks about cancer prevention and such. Nothing monumental. Scott- Sorry, the review had so many shitty bands I didn't feel like wading through them... Boy, if only I would've written about the None More Black song... Score is for Scott's reviews as of recent. WTF? the minus song rules. Dude, what about the Paint it Black track? Their new album is going to kick ass if this track is any indication. |
