1.A Santa Cause by: Various Artists November 29, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $7.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $3.96
This is a compilation album of mostly punkish bands performing Christmas songs to benefit children with AIDS. Most of the performances are good. I particularly like the contributions by Blink 182, Fall Out Boy and New Found Glory. It's cheap and it's for a good cause, why not buy it?

2.The Crow: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack from: Atlantic / Wea March 29, 1994

3 1/2 This was the first CD I ever purchased and revisiting it reminds me of what a treat some of this soundtrack was. The first half especially shines, offering mostly unreleased or rare tracks of good quality. Once Rollins band kicks off though the steady stream of metal recedes into more generic alternative and industrial territory, though the album ends on a mellow female vibe. The disc is well-rounded and has enough good songs by reputable, diverse alternative groups to seek out, but a weaker second side prevents this soundtrack from becoming truly great.

"Punk Goes Crunk" is the latest offering from the "Punk Goes..." series by Fearless Records. My main problem with the album is that while each song is supposed to be a COVER, reinterperted by a band from a different genre, almost every song sounds like an actual hip-hop song. While it's hard to make a hip-hop song sound like anything other than hip-hop, there is a definite lack of electric guitars, fast drums, and shouting (all necessary punk rock characteristics). On older "Punk Goes..." albums, there were actually covers that sounded like punk rock songs. This album is more imitation than covering. Also, while I do like that punk rock bands like Set Your Goals, All Time Low, New Found Glory, and others are on this album, there's some bands that don't even belong on ... Read More

"Chelsea hotel" by Lloyd Cole may very well be the worst cover in history. What madness would provoke someone to turn this great song into an upbeat softrock abortion? I love the drumming especially, wow, it makes me want to drive screwdrivers into my ears. And how it falls off after the chorus, So dramatic! -- like the buildup of a cheap soap opera before a commercial for douches. Total garbage. There are few greater crimes than taking something great and pointlessly remaking it into something awful. Stop me before I listen to that awesome harmonic solo again!

5.If I Were a Carpenter by: Various Artists September 13, 1994

This is a great CD, you know the words to all the songs yet they have that little bit of uniqueness about the artist singing it.

This album is laden with great talent, solid production and most of all fun, fun, fun! The songs are not just silly, they rock! Curious? Like many other people I have had this album since it was released and have never gotten tired of it. This project could have so easily been soulless and stupid, but the bands featured really give it all they've got! Here's a quick review of each track: -The Tra-La-La Song: A high energy, alternative jam. -Speed Racer: A high point for the album, Sponge really shreds on this song and gives it a lot of dimension with motor/guitar sounds. -Sugar, Sugar: Very trippy, slower version of the song, with cute vocals. -Scooby-Doo: An OK song, but not great...a little too long. -Josie and the Pussycats: Trade ...

Man, what's with all the 4 and 3 star reviews, cats? When you're looking for good RETRO SWING, you have to wade through a lot of mediocre albums. This is one of the best RETRO SWING samplers you can find. Perfect for a swing party because every cut just smokes. THIS IS FIVE STARS, TRUST ME. Buy it used from an Amazon Seller. What happened to most of these guys? BRING BACK RETRO SWING!! This craze died out way too soon.

9.Punk Goes 80's by: Various Artists June 07, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $13.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $6.76
The 80's were memorable to say the least; in fact, it had an air all it's own. The music has stood the test of time, and still holds fond memories for those who lived through the decade. Apparently, the bands who appear on this album grew up in the 80's, and are covering their favorite songs, for better or for worse. Not surprisingly, Relient K brings the best work on the album with a true cover of "Manic Monday" that keeps the original spirit of the song, while still keeping the Relient K sound we all know and love. So if the highlight comes first, does that mean it's all downhill from there? Not exactly, as Hidden In Plain View, Sugarcult, Midtown and Motion City Soundtrack all put up worthy covers sure to appeal to any pop punk fan. Whether or not they're good covers is a different argument ... Read More

Worth twice the asking price just for Nik Kershaw's Wouldn't It Be Good!! Rest of the tracks are "vintage" 80s' also. The whole Just Can't Get Enough series is a must for 80s' music fans. Absolutely no clunkers!!!
