5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Intro to Xtian HC/Punk...awesome!, March 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Songs from the Penalty Box (Audio CD)

The first time I picked up this CD was from a friend who had just turned me on to Project 86 and Blindside. I was amazed at the methods these bands were using to get their message across. I figured anything labeled Xtian was automatically gospel-type stuff, but jeez was I wrong. If you're just getting into Xtian metal, hardcore, or punk music (or would like to), pick up this CD. Better yet, if you're into any type of thrash music (especially mainstream), grab this for something harder.

Oh, and for all the god-boys out there who claim this music ain't Xtian, read between the lines. These bands have a clear-cut (well, not always) message on keeping faith and how to not be part of the problem, but the solution.

Killer track: Sorrow is a Sage by Strongarm. The closest mainstream comparison I can think of would be Cannibal Corpse, and they don't even come close. Plenty of indeceipherable lyrics, but just enough to sing along too half the time. Lots o' musical stylings too (from punk verse to HC chorus). Definitely one of the most energetic tracks I've listened to in a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Compilation!, June 30, 2000

By 

Chris Heeter (Central Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Songs from the Penalty Box (Audio CD)

When I bought Songs From the Penalty Box 2, I was just buying it because it had a reasonable price on it, and I saw a few bands on it that were being talked about. So I was curious to hear what they were like. So, I heard it, and...WOW! It was the greatest Christian hard-core/punk compilation I ever heard! So, I thought, if this is a Volume 2, there's gotta be a Volume 1. So the search was on. I went to every Christian bookstore within 15 miles, and finally, at the last bookstore, the had it in the computer. I ordered it. When I got it, I was blown away, yet again, by another great Christian hard-core/punk compilation! I couldn't believe that there were so many great Christian hard-core and punk artists! If you like Christian music, and you like hard-core or punk music, this is the crossroad between them. You won't be found in he pit of disappointment with this one.
