Bleh - there's so much better!

"I have been listening to the Warped Tour compilations since the 2003 discs came out. These are such a good deal for $6 bucks (price varies depending on where you buy)! However this compilation is a dissapointment.

The first CD is terrible. There are maybe 5 songs on it I can stand to listen to. That's all I have to say about it.

The musical quality and overall impression of the second disc is definately much better than the first. It even includes some live songs (Selfish Man Live In L.A. - Flogging Molly).

All in all, for $6-8 you'll probably end up with the 2nd CD in your CD player most of the time because 95% of the songs on the first CD just aren't worth the trouble of changing the CD to be able to listen to them.

If you really want to hear a good all around Warped Tour compilation pick up the Warped Tour 2003 compilation - by far my favorite of the last 3. The Warped Tour 2004 compilation isn't bad either, and it helps that for the most part the similar styles of music are found on the same disc."

Decent CD

"Some good tracks on here. Sunshine Highway, Poison, Beheaded, Bleeding Mascara, Yell Out, Selfish Man, Ray, Gyasi Went Home, By My Side, Dog Eared Page, all good entries. Some bad tracks too, but I won't mention Start Wearing Purple by Gogol Bordello because the song is great, and the band is great. Anyone who doesn't like Gogol Bordello has terrible taste in music and should probably kill themselves."

Lets set the records straight.

"I was very dissapointed to read all these BAD reviews about the Warped Tour '05 Compilation. Allow me to set the record straight. The Offspring are one of the best bands of all times, and finally recorded a track especially for this cd. Already making this one better than the previous coupies. To add, we have some of the best punk bands of the past couple decades making a come back, and a couple great new bands. To explain this, We have MXPX, who have been around forever, but justifying their taste of punk to a more mature level that anyone can appreciate. The Dropkick Murphys, quite possible the best irish punk band of all times, with their most irish influenced song they have ever released. Plain White T's have always been a thrash emo sound. Except minus the thrash a little, an put in more of a indie sound. All changes made for a changing society. As for new day bands, Fall out Boy, they won't let any of their pop/punk fans down with the catchy "Saturday". From First to Last, let's just take hardcore and turn it into a roller coaster, this song is very unpredictable, and the sound is rad. The very only thing I can say was malfunctioned in the making of this album was the Gogol Bordello song. WE all know what "Track Skip" is. Enjoy the rest of the 49 songs."
