Plea For Peace 1: Take Action / Various

This really is one of my favorite cd's. So much diverstiy and good music on one cd - it's quite novel. There's like 2 songs that I'm not sure how the eff they got on here (like the zero zero song - it's too techno-ish for me) but the rest of the cd makes up for the not as great songs. It's one of those cds you throw in your car when you haveta drive far (man - that rhymed) and don't want to worry about changing the music. Every song is at least listen-to-able if not extremely awesome. The best in my opinion? Boy Sets Fire, At the Drive-in, Thursday, Good Riddance, AFI, Thrice (some of my favorite bands, the songs on here are a good representation of their music). The let downs? OK, actually I'm fully in love with most of the cd. I think they throw in the few not as good songs to keep it from god-level or people like me might start worshipping the cd (well maybe not...). It's a good buy. Really. I wouldn't lie to you. Buy it.

I haven't actually listened to this specific cd but I don't have to hear it to know that this is one of the best groups of artists ever compiled together on a single cd. A lot of my favorite bands are on here (AFI, At the Drive In, Good Riddance, Dillinger Escape Plan, Thrice, The International Noise Conspiracy, Swingin' Utters, Boy Sets Fire, and Link 80). The Ataris is also very good, even though they are a little too emo/pop for me and the Alkaline Trio used to be among my favorites until they stupidly decided to open for Blink 182, the worst band in the history of music, and I lost all respect for them. This cd mixes a lot of different styles. It has everything from hardcore ska (Link 80) to emo/"lite" punk (The Ataris) to older-school punk (T.S.O.L.) Most of the bands on here are great, although it has a few that I don't particularly like (Atom and His Package, Thursday, and Hot Water Music, to be specific). There are probably only 4 or 5 songs out of the 28 that I would skip over. If your a fan of punk, especially one that likes most types of punk, than this is a good buy.

I've grown a great respesct for Sub City as of late... they're one of the few record labels out there that aren't about just making muisc. making music is great, but making it with a purpose is even better. If you thought you'd get a better circle of musicians together, you were wrong when you bought this comp. It's not the BEST Sub City take action comp, but it features so many good bands that if you never heard the original Take Action compilation you'd have thought so. This compilation single-handedly turned me back to punk rock, and even though it's a little poppier than my original punk tastes, it gave me a broader view of what good punk can be. And this is good punk rock.

this comp is good , diverse , and has alot of new stuff , so its not like when you get a punk o roma and you have half the songs on it on cd already or whatnot. i was kinda disapointed in the swingin utters song, but thats about it , its good but not as good as i would have liked , atom and his package is great as usual . anyway buy this cd , its good stuff , my favorites were Alkaline Trio, Cave In, Thrice , Atom and his package , ATDI , Suicide Machines , The Ataris , Grade , Bratmobile, Selby Tigers , ah well anyway basically all the bands and all are awesome , with the exclusion of boy sets fire and dillinger escape plan , so buy this cd . thats all , its awesome

There is new material, or unreleased/live material from every band on this compilation, and seeing as how it has delivered bands like Alkaline Trio Thursday Hot Water Music Boy Sets Fire etc, it deserves some recognition. Simply buy it.

Honestly I bought this for the AFI song, which is great. I haven't heard of most of the band's on there. The album arrived quickly.
