"In response to the earlier review I must state the same reason for buying this CD, the west coast punk scene seems to be rather stagnant with everybody lying in either the Blink 182 or NOFX camp. Its nice to hear a change from that, especially with a good dosing of obscure or semi-obscure bands. The Lunachicks and I'd heard great things about the Meatmen so I decided to pick this up.Now this CD is almost permanently in my CD player. There's so many different styles of punk rock on this that it puts most of the other compilations I own to shame. Even though a lot of it is hardcore, there's still enough of variation in it for the style not to get overly annoying. There's the consciously-volatile tracks by Buttsteak (gotta love the name) and the hilarious cover songs by both Black Velvet Flag and Canned Travolta...I just wish I could find some of these band's albums. There's not one disappointing track on this album, it all just seems to flow together. Go-Kart records is my new favorite label."
