Summary: Yeah, so it's not the Old school Punk of Yesterdays. Who cares?
Comment: Ok so complain all you want about what bands are punk and what are Emo, but if the music is good, I'll listen to it. So I'm mainly into punk music, but I picked this up and loved some of the accoustic renditions of songs. Thinking the bands might be pretty good, I picked up a couple of their albums and was sorely dissappointed. While they were "OK", the versions on the accoustic CD were far and away better than the plugged versions. Stick to this CD and you won't be dissappointed.

Summary: This is punk?
Comment: Yeah, some of it is okay. I'm a fan of both Punk AND Emo/Screamo. This is def a bait and switch though. You could tell Anti-Flag was thrown on there to gain street cred with the punk crowd. But anyone that actually listens to punk would shut this off before even getting to that far in the album. Jack's Mannequin is punk?
I think they should have done two cd's. Emo Goes Acoustic and Punk Goes Acoustic. Put the stuff on the right CD so people don't grab it expecting something totally not what they are promoting.

Summary: "Unplugged" music fans need to discover this CD
Comment: Most tracks on this CD boast outstanding production skill and highest quality recording equipment. These tracks work well together and provide gorgeous hooks and harmonies throughout. If you love unplugged music, you should buy this CD. I can't stop listening to it. Don't miss the Jack's Mannequin acoustic song, "Bruised," but each song stands on its own and is worth listening to. These acoustic versions allow you to appreciate the intimate features of each vocalist in ways that you otherwise couldn't.

Summary: Flavor of the Week
Comment: This is a fair to decent CD for what it is, and it's nice to see a "Punk Goes" disc that isn't full of cover songs for once. With that being said, Punk Goes Acoustic 2 is still nothing more than a cash in by Fearless Records, a "Now 203 or whatever for alternative music fans. The majority of this disc is filled with the latest pop rock/emo flavors of the week, Anti-Flag and Set Your Goals are merely thrown in for street cred (as attested to by their track numbers).
I'm not bashing this CD because it's not "punk", most of the band's put on a good performance, but it's hard not to laugh at a record that features Daphne Loves Derbe and the Spill Canvas next to a band like Anti-Flag. I think Jello Biafra would have a thing to say about this.
Buy this if you can't get over your 7th grade girlfriend.
