This compilation rocks. Plain and simple, it's awesome. Everything is on this CD, hardcore, emo, punk, rock, and bunches of other stuff. Granted you may not like every single band on the CD (I didn't), there are some truly great bands on here that you might like. For 5$, this CD is a great deal. You owe it to your self to try something new, and listen to something differet. You never know, your new favorite band could be on this CD. Just pick it up. Initial is in Louisville, and so am I, so I had to write a review for this CD, even if no one reads it! Hehe, Elliot is one of the best bands from Louisville ever, they rock. Check them out.
