Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The latest in a series of punk compilations courtesy of Epitaph Records, Straight Outta the Pit is a snarling, high-energy affair featuring 24 acts. With fervent music from the likes of Rancid, the New Bomb Turks, and Bad Religion, this collection showcases several top-notch punk ensembles. While all of the selections have been previously released, except for "Fight It" by L.A.'s Pennywise, there are some neglected classics to savor, including "Don't Panic" by Seattle's Gas Huffer, and "It's My Life" by the infamous Agnostic Front. The only performance that doesn't complement the raucous nature of Punk-O-Rama 4 is Tom Waits singing "Big In Japan," but it's a slice of skewed weirdness all the same. With a slew of superlative punk rock bands rounding out the lineup, this compilation consistently delivers. --Mitch Myers

This cd is a great punk cd. Its not as good as the 3 before it but NOFX,Millencolin, and Pennywise are really good on it. I especially love ten foot pole. If you're looking for a great mix of punk, BUY THIS CD! Epitaph did a pretty good job.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not The Best (2 By Far) But A Good Punk O Rama CD, September 21, 2000

This review is from: Punk-O-Rama 4 (Audio CD)

This CD is one I like to put on when I head to my backyard or out around town on my skateboard, probably because of its awesome mix of punk, ska, and Tom Waits. Well, not so awesome if you want to count old Tom (laugh, its funny...shut up) but it is still rad. It all fits together pretty well, and is in my player a lot at the moment. It also introduced me to two bands that I never really checked out before, those being New Bomb Turks and Gentleman Jack Grisham, both being good. It is a fast paced CD, and I like the attitude.

The best songs have to be Mr. Clean by Millencolin, Generator by Bad Religion, Second Best by Pulley, The Getaway by Ten Foot Pole, and 1998 by Rancid. You should also get Punk O Rama 2 and any of the Fat Wreck Chords compilations.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ok, but not better the vol.5, June 4, 2002

This review is from: Punk-O-Rama 4 (Audio CD)

This album has some really good punk songs on it. All of them are awesome save for tracks 17-20 which are either poppy or they sound like they're goth or metal. But if u want a Punk compilation that has all awesome punk tracks buy vol. 5.
