1.0 out of 5 stars mediocre at best, January 4, 2006

By	belacane (moscow, russia) - See all my reviews

The problem with this CD is, like many people said, it's made mostly of stuff one can hear on your local alternative radio station. And of this complation, what you can't hear on the radio, sounds like what you do hear on the radio anyways.
The selection is not ecclectic in the least. All of it seems to be men with guitars and typical drab percussion, and an occasional female with guitars (and typical drab percussion), and the same style of singing and lyrics. In other words, it all seems to be of one genre.

boooooooring.

I really would have liked to see a compliation of artist who got their start on myspace. Stuff few people have ever heard before. Something that's worth purchasing from myspace because you can't buy it anywhere else.
Otherwise, what's the point?

Chances are anyone who would buy this CD already owns stuff by those artists anyhow.
Save some money and make your own mix.

1.0 out of 5 stars ONE WORD SUMS IT UP..., November 30, 2005

By	J. Madrigal "DREAD74" (Your mom's room, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

(...)If you like to spend your hard-earned dollars on bands that dissolve faster that an Alka-Seltzer tablet, then invest on this crap-tastic helping of lousy music. If I were in Weezer, I'd be quite upset that I got lumped into this pathetic collaboration of caca. (...)GOsh, you people are sheep.

1.0 out of 5 stars No diversity , December 8, 2005

By	Erica Anderson (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I admit I am a big fan of Myspace. I love discovering new, unsigned or independantly signed artists on its vast website. It was inevitable that a compilation of various Myspace artists would come out. Unfortunately the artists listed on the compilation are pretty bland and uninteresting. 95% is dime store emo (aka whiney white boy rock) and former Playboy model Tila Tequila posing as a rock star. It is so obvious that the founder of Myspace likes this emo. Look at the artists he chose for volume one. Fine if he wants to thrown in artists he likes but from one genre? How boring. There are thousands of artists and bands on Myspace. There should have been a good diversity of different types of music on this compilation rather than sticking to the dime a dozen emo bands which you can't tell from night and day. There are so many great little known artists and bands on Myspace, this would have been a great way to introduce the public to them but instead what the public gets is an obvious attempt at making a few extra bucks from the emo crowd. Here is hoping that future volumes don't look as bad as volume one but frankly I am not holding my breathe anytime soon.
