Hmm...kdo bi si mislil, da belgijska založba I Scream Records deluje že celih 10 let? Čestitke! Na to priložnost so spravili skupaj tole kompilacijo, ki združuje njihove ustvarjalce s komadi, ki sem jih že slišal, nekaj pa je tudi takšnih, ki še niso bili izpostavljeni soncu. Več kot polovico izmed izbranih 25 izvajalcev sem že recenziral (Blood for Blood, Length of Time, Stars & Stripes, Vision, Discipline, On the Rise, Slumlords, Backfire!, The Heartaches, Slapshot, Hardsell, The Blue Bloods, Awkward Thought, Spider Crew), ostanejo pa še legende Agnostic Front in Maximum Penalty, melodični hardcore/punkrockerji Judasvile, Lulabelles in Beans, hudi, besni in metalski Deviate, Krutch in Do or Die, hc old-schoolerji Uppercut, bend s Sex Pistols coverjem Tech-9 in Convict, bend z unplugged komadom, ki zveni približno tako kot Dashboard Confessional. Heh, komad v stilu D.C. je zadnja stvar, ki sem jo pričakoval od te kompilacje. Logično je bil pobran od vsakega benda najboljši komad, tako da je stvar kar poslušljiva, kot nalašč za nekoga, ki se mu ne sanja, kaj pričakovati od I Scream Records bendov. Poslan mi je bil le gol plošček, tako da ne vem kako in kaj je z bookletom, ampak glede da se stvar prodaja, domnevam, da je opremljen z besedili, fotkami in raznimi podatki, kot se za kompilacijo spodobi. Gre za ''low price'' izdelek, tako da si stvar lahko mimogrede nabavite, mogoče celo odkrijete svoj novi najljubši bend! (12/08/2004)

English Version:
Hmm...I never thought about Belgian hardcore label I Scream Records being around for already 10 years. Well, congatulation! For this occasion they put out a compilation filled with songs, which most of them I already heard while some reamin previously unreleased. More than half of those 25 selected bands already went throught my review section (Blood for Blood, Length of Time, Stars & Stripes, Vision, Discipline, On the Rise, Slumlords, Backfire!, The Heartaches, Slapshot, Hardsell, The Blue Bloods, Awkward Thought, Spider Crew) so what remains new to me are songs from hardcore legends like Agnostic Front and Maximum Penalty, melodic hardcore/punkrockers Judasvile, Lulabelles and Beans, heavy&pissed off and metallic Deviate, Krutch and Do or Die, hardcore old-schoolers Uppercut, Tech-9 doing a Sex Pistols cover and the last band here, Convics playig unplugged song similar to Dashboard Confessional. Heh, the last thing I expected from this compilation was a song one could compare to Dashboard Confessional. Logically they selected only the best song of each band so the whole compilation sounds pretty interesting, especially to those who will experience those bands for the first time. All I got was a naked CD so I can't really say anything about the booklet. Since it's a low price compilation I presume it's decorated with lyrics, photos and infos or at least that would be fair. Check it out, maybe you even come through your new favourite band! (12/08/2004)
