The thing with compilations is that theyre most often hit-or-miss affairs. Certain bands will appeal to some people more than others, but thats not an intrinsically bad thing. Bands from the metal, punk, indie and everything in between genres are represented here, which means theres pretty much something for everyone. However, as one cohesive album its lacking; its easier to just skip to the tracks you like, making repeat listens unlikely. All but five of the 43 songs have been previously released, which might deter some people from picking this up. Also included is a DVD that features some particularly amusing music videos from bands like Scary Kids Scaring Kids and Set Your Goals, among others. Theres also an enhanced CD feature that contains some information and links to various resources.
