3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but unoriginal, August 25, 2002

Although an accurate reflection of Kungfu Record's bands and styles, it still is an average, unoriginal compilation. Bands Audio Karate, Useless ID and Tsunami Bomb are great examples of bands who know how destroy a song with terrible lyrics. In fact, Audio Karate's "Senior Year" has the sappiest, most moronic lyrics I have ever heard. Ozma has two good selections, and these two songs definately bring up my rating. Antifreeze plays really unoriginal cliche love-sick loser quasi punk. The vandals songs, have hilarious lyrics, however as a band they're not that good. Mi6 plays good skate punk, the vocals are good and the songs are pretty catchy, another highlight of the mix. No use For A Name is just another average band, and one that doesnt sound that great live either. The Ataris are just awesome and these two tracks close the mix on an up note. But overall, this is an average to weak compilation and proof that Kungfu should shake up their line up. But not bad for 5 bucks.

3.0 out of 5 stars decent comp, August 19, 2002

I own tons of compilation albums, and I have to say that this is one of the weakest I have come across. It has some decent songs from bands like The Ataris and Ozma, but this wouldn't be worth anything if it wasn't for The Vandals songs on the album. I recommend getting one of the Punk-o-Ramma albums (especially #4) instead of this.

This pop/punk compilation is filled with unoriginal mediocre pop/punk bands that all basically sound the some (and I don't say that very often). I know pop/punk isn't a very original genre in the first place. However, something about this comp just makes anybody familiar with a wide variety of pop/punk want to scream. I admit, Mi6 is an alright band. However, the only band on hear that truly stands out at all would be The Ataris. If you are new to to pop/punk, then you will probably like it and think of it as decent music. However, if you aren't new to this genre then for the sake of sanity do not buy this album. For a more worthy pop/punk comp pick the "Atticus: Dragging the Lake" comp. But unless you are a newbie, steer clear of this one. Cause, it's just not worth it.
