While I respect and enjoy the majoroty of the bands on this compilaion, I must say that this is the first time I have seen MTV acknowledge Taking Back Sunday and Brand New. They are both bands who have released soid albums but are rarely publicised. However, I don't understand why MTV would associate the bands on this album with Road Rules-a show mainly affiliated with mainstream pop and rock. Regardless, the album contains good music... The bands choose what labels and companies they want to work with, and they deserve to be rich and famous. They've worked for it.

The main reason I bought this was because it was only $5. When I bought it I already knew Jimmy Eat World's song (good), Taking Back Sunday's song (good), and Hoobastank's song (alright). I think the best on here besides the afore mentioned are the Used, Thrice, Unwritten Law, Brand New, Dashboard Confessional, Coheed & Cambria, the Movielife, and the Get Up Kids. It is weird that the only ones on here that I've ever heard on MTV are Thrice, Hoobastank & Dashboard, but may this will influence some oblivious MTV viewer to like something besides Britney Spears and Good Charlotte.

DUDE, i've always wanted a CD with 36 Crazyfists, Hoobastank, Dashboard Confessional and the Used on it! and now i have it! my life is now complete!

First of all, I completely agree with the other review of this CD. I didn't want to support MTV at all. They DO exploit bands. But, I couldn't resist buying this CD, because it had so many artists I like. I also found out about new bands by buying this CD. I was already a fan of AFI, and several other bands on this CD, but I found out about a lot of new songs. If you're a punk, alternative, or hard rock fan then I suggest this CD, but resist buying it if you CAN cuz it DOES support MTV which is bad. DL the songs!

First off I want to tell the "music fan from New Jersey" that if it weren't for MTV some of those bands would be BROKE!! You may think that MTV exploits but in the end its really all up to the artist and how far they will go.
Now that that is done.
The album is very cool. I bought it on a whim and it turned out to be a really good mix. I really like Unwritten Law and Hoobastank.

pretty good. Only I don't know why this compilation album is on road runner records who's known for mostly metal(slipknot, stone sour, coal chamber etc.) and only like two of their artists are on this album and the rest is all pop/punk and emo. Who don't fit in the same crowd really but ohwell it's still koo.

First off if you buy this cd you will be supporting MTV. Second off MTV is not something you want to support. MTV exploits bands that were good, and makes them into what THEY want them to be, and what SELLS, so THEY can make LOTS OF MONEY, because THEY are greedy! I could say a lot more about MTV, but this should be enough for now. Just don't buy it, MTV is bad! Do Not Support!

Why would Roadrunner put their good name on a CD with such Horrible music (with the exception being the Deftones a great band)the rest are just a bunch of Kid pop punk (New found glory need to be shot)and crappy Emo bands.C'mon this is roadrunner, a record label with such awesome artists such as Soulfly, Type-o negative,Killswitch Engage, Coal Chamber(R.I.P.) and at the time of this release Fear Factory. They couldn't put tracks from the aforwementioned artists on the compilation? WTF? They Might as well have put Rap or Brittney Spears on this load of crap! One star because of the Deftones otherwise...No stars, no way!!!

...I simply MUST have every cd with The Juliana Theory on it. They are pretty much the best band thats ever existed...
