If you actually want to listen to punk...

"...don't buy this CD. Most of this is emo, and quite a bit of it is meandering and not particularly catchy. There are a few good bands on this CD--enough to merit maybe listening to it once or twice, but it's not worth your time if you're an actual punk fan. It has an interesting mix of music, but it doesn't fit together too well. The upsides to this compilation are as follows: one, the Dropkick Murphys song, and two, it's inexpensive. However, it's even less expensive to just forget about buying this CD at all."

A very good cd but nort what most punk fans would expect

"More like mixed music-o-rama. This is a great cd but for a true punk fan it may be something to avoid. I love the indie rock, rap and "emo" on this. Honestly i don't think there is any emo on this cd. Its more like rock. Emo is trash like yellow card but this cd dosn't have any thing like that on it. The dvd is just a bounus, and a good one at that. All and all this is a ver good CD *****"

.....and worse again.

"I don't understand why this is called Punk-O-Rama. There are a couple of punk bands on there, and good ones, Bad Religion, Dropkick's, Bouncing Souls, Pennywise, Pulley, Randy etc. Then the rest of them are slow emo rubbish, and worst of all, there is about 3 rap songs. I would understand if it was just another compilation, but it is called PUNK-o-rama, and therefore, should be punk, and punk only. You buy the Punk-O-Rama series and expect to listen to old, new and upcoming punk bands, like the earlier Punk-O-Rama CD's. If I wanted to listen to rap I would start looking at Eminem or Snoop Dogg CD's. 1 star anyway for the 5 or 6 good songs on there, by the above bands I mentioned."
