Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: amzing Comment: this compilation is probably one of the best i've ever heard. sure, not every song on here is great, or even "good", but the idea of putting together such a collection is brilliant. many of the songs rank among the top 5 of my favorite songs by the band who wrote them. short and sweet! and the songs that aren't that great... they're over so fast you don't have time to go completely insane listening to them. a lot of reviews i've seen say it's a great way to see which bands you may want to look into further... for many of the songs i'd say that's fine, but there are also a lot where the bands took the arguably silly idea of a huge collection of 30 second songs and were silly with it, or did something completely different than their normal style. this is fine in my opinion, as it creates a great diversity in the style of music, but be warned if you're using this as a sampler to introduce yourself to new bands. i fully recommend this comp. Customer Rating: Summary: really fun and thought provoking. Comment: I'm a long time fan of NOFX and any band that Fat Mike signs to his label "Fat Wreck Chords," I always decide to give a chance. There's a lot of cool bands on here and a lot of fun songs. Some songs aren't so great and some songs are awesome. There's a lot of creativity within some of these songs (i.e. WIZO, NOMEANSNO, etc.) This isn't something that's gonna blow your mind as far as talent is concerned (except THE LIVING END song, that song is just insane!) Although a lot of these bands definitely are talented, they are all 30 seconds long give or take. I just think it's such an original idea that only someone like Fat Mike can think up and I think it's just dandy! The thing that makes this CD so great, and pardon me if I'm being redundant, is that it's just so damn fun to listen to! It's a CD you don't have to take so seriously, and a lot of the bands seemed to have figured it out, and you'll understand what I mean if you listen to some of the lyrics. This is what punk rock is all about in my opinion, not that punk bands should just write 30 second songs all the time, but about the feel, the message, and the deliberate "I don't give a f***" attitude that punk rock has always represented even in the evolution of the music itself. If you just want a fun CD to listen to, where no matter how short your attention span is, you can listen to every song individually, then this CD is definitely for you! Customer Rating: Summary: A snapshot of the late '90's, early 2000's punk scene. Comment: Before AFI went commercial, before Blink-182 rose and fell, before NOFX was working to overthrow George W. Bush, before emo and pop-punk were used interchangeably (and recklessly, may I ad), heck, before GWAR went back to being metal, there was the CD. Its funny because you wouldn't typically expect a 101-track CD to be under an hour long, but thats exactly what we have here. Stylistically speaking, the songs range from old school punk (Circle Jerks), ska (Less than Jake), and gothic rock (The Damned) to hardcore (H20), power violence (Spazz), and yes, pop punk (NOFX and the overwhelming amount of other bands on the CD). In terms of featured artists, this CD touted a "who's who" of punk during that era, featuring up-and-comers (most notably AFI, Blink-182, and Unwritten Law before they went into the mainstream) as well as established acts like Green Day, The Offspring, Rancid, Descendants, and Black Flag. I think this CD was not only a legitimate compilation, but also relevant to punk culture of the late 90's, early 2000's. Owning this CD is equivalent to having a high school yearbook or a time capsule; you get to see what was going during that era, no matter how cool or how goofy things looked. If a teenager came up to me and was like "So what was punk music like when you were in high school?", I'd probably tell them to get a copy of this CD, because it was (and still is) a spot on snapshot of what the music and general attitude was like then. Nowadays, there's a Hot Topic in every mall, The Warped Tour is a big corporate event, and being punk is more about fashion than it is about DIY ethic and unity that used to go along with the scene. Yet when I feel nostalgic, I'll throw this CD on and remember the way things used to be. Customer Rating: Summary: good cd Comment: lots of good bands this cd is good to have for a fan of punk Customer Rating: Summary: Frickin' Brillant Comment: I first heard this album in the Wherehouse, while I was looking around for some CD's. I had no idea it was--and neither did the cashiers, when I asked--but, I was instantly intrigued. Weeks later, I finally managed to snag a copy of this CD. It is nothing short of brillant. It has 101 30 second songs--what other compilation does that? It also has intense variety from new school pop-punkers like blink-182 and the Offspring, to old school punks like Bad Religion, the Descendents, and Black Flag to awesome bands I had never heard before--namely, the Dance Hall Crashers and H20 (Ha... I love their song on here). It is the epitome of punk samplers anywhere. However, not every song on here is good, and is just screaming. It's fun! It's short! What's not to love? Note: But be wary about doing anything after you listen to this CD. You're attention span will be shot. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Punk rock has long been known for its short, loud, and snotty anthems, but this is taking things to extremes. None of the songs found here reaches the one-minute mark. Some are among punk's most esteemed anthems, while others are casual additions to the canon. In either case, even if you don't like one tune, well, there's another one coming in just a few seconds. This isn't the best introduction to these bands. The Descendents, for example, are punk-pop titans who and not at their best when aping the hardcore set. However, where else can you find Less Than Jake, Nerf Herder, Blink 182, Green Day, the Mr. T. Experience, Gwar, the Circle Jerks, D.O.A., Agnostic Front, and the Muffs all on one CD? There's no shortage of top-shelf names here, and more than a few surprises will keep you hopping. --Rob O'Connor
