It’s another attempt for a label to make money off the bands that sell the most records on their label. Ah yes, let’s put them on one record and sell it to all those kids. Just don’t do it. Granted, some of the bands on here are appealing — so buy their albums, don’t waste your cash on this. It features the bands One King Down, The Stryder, Bane, Converge, Ten Yard Fight, H2O, and Saves the Day, just to name a handful. Although some of the songs are catchy, do you really want to listen to Saves the Day again without shooting yourself?
