"This compilation is pretty widely available still and there's some really good tracks on it. But, like almost any compiliation, there are some clunkers too. Unlike a lot of comps that will put similar bands or styles together, there's not much cohesion here.I bought this for the Jawbreaker track (I had heard them play it live so I sought it out.) and it's probably my favorite of the disc still. There are a few others that I wouldn't have heard of the band or the song without this disc. Steel Pole Bathtub has an interesting one on here. Though they had been playing shows around my area for a while when I bought this, I had never heard them. The Beekeeper track is also a great one if you like semi-melodic guitar based rock.Most of the bands on here no longer are together. All in all, I'd look for this in the used bin since there's a good chance that only half the songs on here will appeal to you depending on what type of music you're into."
