First off, I don't know what they mean by "Non Stop," since there are breaks between each of the songs. Which is a good thing in my opinion, but I wasn't sure what to expect given the title.

As for the music, you should have heard at least a few of these songs before. If you haven't, then this CD probably isn't for you, although I encourage you to listen to a few of the samples. And if you don't like the songs that you do recognize, then you probably won't care for the CD.

While some songs are, of course, better than others, this is a fairly even collection of "mainstream" alternative music. The kind that falls between the annoyingly pop end of the alternative spectrum and the even more annoying heavy end. In other words, it's good music. It's one of the few CDs that I can listen to nonstop (maybe that's what they meant by the title). I wouldn't have chosen all of these songs (especially "Save Tonight," which grows old fast), but this is a solid disc whose value lies in the number of quality songs on it.

This music brings back a lot of good memories, from that awkward time in music between hair bands and Seattle grunge. About half of the songs are truly worthless and I don't know how they made it onto a CD like this, but the other half are gems and make the CD worth owning. In my opinion, Pearl Jam's "Even Flow" and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (or at least one of their other songs) should have at least receieved an honorable mention.
