"Street Punk. You know the kids that walk around in combat boots and have really spikey hair, and they have tons of patches and crap. This is the style of punk they like. I love this CD. Every song is crafted so well. They have a good mixtures of some old songs, and live songs. Love it.

"Philly's punk heroe's can't be stopped. Rocking harder then just about any band out their, this album has good live performances, and also their best studio releases. Hardcore punk can survive through metalcore and emocore, posing as the real thing, and The Virus is an example of that. Philly Punx."

"I first heard of the Virus through the New York street punx, The Casualties. Now if you like your so called punk slow, boring and generally sounding more like a pop band, then look else where now, because this is the almighty street punks The Virus! This band are catchy, fast, talented and nothing less than Pure Punk! If you like bands such as the Casualties, Exploited, English Dogs, Sham 69 or any other similar bands then buy the Virus singles collection. The Virus are the greatest american punk band I have ever heard! This album contains 4 of my favourite punk songs which are 'Looks like Trouble', the incredibly fast 'Full circle', the catchy 'Forgotten Rebel' and the pacy 'Still Fighting for a Future'. Also included is a studio recorded cover of the Exploted's 'I believe in Anarchy' and a live cover of the Angelic Upstarts classic 'Im an Upstart'.

I would have given this album 5 stars, but it is slightly let down by the choice of live recordings included and the inclusion of some weaker tracks like 'Bomb Drop' and 'Celebrity Gossip'. Anyway, the Virus rule so if your looking for a punk album to seriously make you pogo, look no further my friend, buy the Virus Singles and Rarities now!
