5.0 out of 5 stars It will be awhile till we see something this good again!, December 27, 2005

By	Luke "LR" (Tempe, AZ) - See all my reviews

Today's punk can be found by turning your t.v. on an switching to MTV or VH1, but can punk really be broadcast primetime by popular television? Back in the late 80's when I was 12 years old the closest thing to punk on t.v. was Headbanger's Ball, which was merely heavymetal...HA!..and it aired very late! Then came the real deal with Bombshelter videos which only aired at midnight once a week.

Don't get me wrong, it would be great if Mega-Media stations like MTV and VH1 aired punk videos, but get real! To this day you only have watered down, fully cooked, pop-hybrid cheese bands like Good Charlotte, Blink-182, and Sum-41 - and there is little doubt that things are not going to change for the better anytime soon.

However, we can all thank The Faction for their raw, hardcore, and downright pure American punk rock sound. Only buy this album if you want to hear what true I don't give a F**k skate punk sounds like!

4.0 out of 5 stars almost 5 stars, September 24, 2003

By	Craig J. Calhoun "cjc71" (Chicago) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I would have given this compilation 5 stars if it had included the songs "Terror in the Streets" and my personal favorite Faction song "You Are Here" from the "Dark Room" ep (the other 4 songs on the ep are on this comp.). That stated, if you like skate punk, this cd is a MUST.
