5.0 out of 5 stars It's a good way to expose yourself to some new and different bands, March 22, 2006

The Good
I guess the most enticing thing about this collection is that you get 30+ tracks of music for a reasonable price. The list of bands aren't exactly a who's who of rock heavyweights, but it does pack a punch of underground, up-and-coming, and cult acts from around the world. I must admit that I was only familiar with six of the bands going into this album. I soon discovered that I had been missing out on some great bands; Avenged Sevenfold, My American Heart, Armor for Sleep, Dark New Day (I think this track is on my Raw vs. Smackdown 2006 game), Dillinger Escape Plan, Bleeding Through, Funeral for a Friend ( a band I previously hated), and Opiate for the Masses.

I not saying those are the only good ones, but they are the one's that stood out for me. There is so much great and diverse music on this collection. It doesn't matter if you like hardcore, metal, pop-punk, alternative, or metalcore, this collection has it all. You're not getting the band's b-sides or crap either. You're getting their current singles or top-notch unreleased tracks.

The Bad
There are a few duds in the pack, but they don't detract that much from the album as a whole.

The Verdict
The Best of Taste of Chaos CD isn't just a way for you to prepare for the ongoing tour, but it's also a good way to expose yourself to some new and different bands. After taking this huge collection of tracks in, I'm definitely going to head out and grab a few of the band's current albums.

And I support PETA. In all seriousness, this is just a bunch of structurally imcompetent metalcore tripe. If you like Killswitch Engage and Demon Hunter, you'll love this compilation. If you know what good music is, you won't. That simple.

I gave this two stars because of one good song: "The Final" by Dir En Grey, which happens to be one of Diru's softest songs. (On "Taste of Chaos?...")
- Thus says the Pellington (And remember, just say "NO" to metalcore!)
