To bo verjetno moja prva recenzija kar se tiče kompilacij. Razlogov, zakaj temu tako je več. Prvič, sem človek, ki si raje nabavi album posamičnega benda, drugič, obstajajo hitrejši in cenejši načini za spoznavanje novih zased, tako da kompilacije, če le niso zastonj spregledam in tretjič, če že dobim kako kompilacijo, je to le sempler brez pravega bookleta z besedili, fotografijami in informacijami o bendih, za razliko Your Scene Sucks, ki to ima. Kompilacija vsebuje 28 tako prej izdanih kot tudi še neizdanih komadov 27etih hardcore/punk bendov, ki so razen par izjem vsi doma iz zda. No, pa začnimo. Cd prične z The Control, s komadom, ki je pobran iz albuma ''The Forgotten'' o katerem sem pisal ravno par dni nazaj, tako da si lahko kar tukaj preberete kaj več o bendu, de ne bom niti izgubljal časa z detajli. Naslednji so Breathe In, o katerih sem tudi že pisal, ko sem recenziral njihov split s Time in Mlata. Enostaven punk hardcore z izrabljenimi rifi in besno, ostrim kričečim vokalom. Komad ni nič posebnega in nima niti priloženega besedila! Ohoho, naslednji so hardcore veterani Sick of it All katere sem spoznal v času svojega zgodnjega odkrivanja hardcore scene in jih nisem slišal vse do sedaj. Fantje imajo po vseh teh letih še vedno tisti zvok ''pravega'' starega hardcora, ki me ni nikoli nevem kako navduševal. Spročilo besedila je ''Free your mind''. Za nasleden bend z imenom Heads vs. Breakers nisem še nikoli prej slišal. Tu imajo prijeten melodičen emo/punkrock komad, ki zveni kot kaka punkrock-erska verzija Hot Water Music. Besedilo kritizira hardcore sceno in se sprašuje o smiselnosti biti del nje. Cool komad! Metalkorovci Most Precious Blood se predstavijo s komadom, katerega zvočna kakovost je na nivoju garažnih posnetkov in je morda to edina smiselna razlaga, zakaj komad spominja na Darkest Hour. Kakor se spomnim njihove zgošcenke na Trustkill, so tam zveneli drugače. Besedilo o zlomljenih srcih in uničenemu prijateljstvu. V naslednjem komadu, ki je mimogrede delo norcev C.R. razen 30 sekundnega distorziranega hrupa ne dobimo prav dosti, niti besedila. Kill Your Idols katere, sem poznal le po imenu se predstavijo z old school komadom tipo Youth of Today in besedilom, ki je proti ubijanju živali za izdelavo krzna. Precej dolgočasna glasba! Za The Curse slišim prvič in me s svojo verzijo punk/hardcora ala Rancid ne pritegnejo. Z besedilom se izražajo kako ''lepo'' je biti delavski razred. Naslednji so Revolution Summer, zame najbolj svež in najbolj zažigalen bend na tej kompilaciji. Njihova glasba je neke vrste old school hardcore, kjer uporabljajo heavy-metal način kitarskega igranja, ampak brez da bi pri tem zveneli metalsko! Text je iteligento zapisan in kritizira človeško naravo. Upam, da bom še kaj slišal o tem bendu! Tear It Up so edini bend tukaj z dvema komadoma, ampak, glede na to da eden traja le 11 sekund, zaradi tega prav nič ne izstopajo. Prvi je počasen old school style komad, ki je živ dolgčas, drugi pa ultra-fast nažigancija, ki ni vredna niti tega casa. Kje so besedila? Angleži Capdown igrajo melodicen punk rock in s svojim komadom niso dovolj prepričljivi, da bi jih lahko pohvalil. Z besedilom opisujejo pokvarjeno živlenje v današnjem prostoru in času, ter izražajo svojo željo/zahtevo po spremembah, uporu. Potem je tu še eden meni neznan bend The Missing 23rd s kar uredu old school hc komadom, ki spominja na čase mojega zbiranja Third Party Records plat. Ni slabo, niti besedilo ne, ki pridiga, da se je strahu treba postaviti po robu. O Downpour albumu, na katerem se nahaja tale skladba sem že pisal recenzijo in lahko čekirate tukaj. Za Rise Against prvič slišim in kot piše tukaj je bend doma na Fatwreck Chords. Melodičen hardcore komad mi je super, vendar pa imam ves čas občutek da poslušam Strike Anywhere. Le kdo je kopiral koga? Rdeča nit besedila je prijateljstvo. Wage of Sin je bend o kateremu se dosti sliši zadnje čase tako da je komad tu kot nalašč zame, glede na to, da sem si želel čimprej poslušati tale cel ženski metalcore bend. Ful mi je vseč, da so se dekleta odločila za metalcore, za stil, pri katerem so ženske članice prava redkost. Obetaven metalcore komadič s peklenskim vokalom...spominja na Walls of Jericho! Komad govori o bolečih posledicah, ki jo prinese izguba bližnjega. Ex Number Five si s svojim melodičnim punkrock-emocore komadom zaslužiojo najvišjo oceno! Resnično super narejen komad, v katerem vokalist s svojim izjemnim glasom prepeva o prijateljstvu. Left With Nothing so zame novi. Komad je glasbeno soliden metaliziran hardcore s težkim zvokom, kar pa mi je bolj vseč je priloženo besedilo, ki opisuje njihov pogled na neprijazen sistem v katerega smo postavljeni. O Toxic Narcotic albumu, kjer je tudi dobavljiv tale komad sem pisal preden sem se lotil te kompilacije in si lahko več preberete tukaj. Res ne vem zakaj so dali sem gor svoj najbolj beden komad? Jedi 5 so še eden iz dolge vrste prvič slišanih bendov. Igrajo nekakšen emocore s čisto majhnim dodatkom metala in grobim skorajda neprijetnim vokalom, ki se spreminja v krasno petje. Glede na besedilo sklepam, da se je nekdo avtorju hudo zameril. No Denail so glasbeno tako neokusni da, mi dela kar slabo. Zaostal old school hardcore, ki mi verjetno ne bi bil vseč niti v času svojega old school fanatizma. V besedilu najpraj jamrajo o težkem živlenju, apak ga proti koncu lepo zaključijo s pozitivnimi in prijaznimi besedami. Nizozemce Reaching Forward, kljub njihovem (vsaj kakor se meni zdi) pogostem izdajanju plat nisem slišal že od njihovega prvega 7'' na Commitment Rec. Še vedno igrajo old school hardcore, ki pa so ga od takrat vsekakor izpopolnili. Komad je bolj počasne sorte ampak ni slabo. Besedilo se vrti okrog negativnih življenskih sprememb. Books Lies začnejo kot kak scream emo-violence bend a se kmalu prelevijo v bolj tradicionalne hardcore ritme. Sem mislil da je boljše! Nič besedil! Stampin' Ground slišim prvič in sedaj vem, da nisem dosti zamujal. Metalski tough guy hardcore s Caliban rifi in težkimi breakdowni. Precej nasilno, celo za uho! Še kar cool besedilo s družbeno-socialno temo. Engage igrajo old school hc z zanimivim vpitjem, dobrimi rifi in pozitivno napisanim besedilom. Cool stvar! Let In Burn imajo prijeten melodičen rock'n'roll punk rock koamd in kar zanimivo napiasno besedilo o (ne)prijatelstvu. I like it! Red Light Flesh prihajajo iz sosednje Avstrije in me kar čudi, da zanje nisem še slišal. Njihova glasba je emo hardcore, ki čisto malo spominja na Boy Sets Fire in je bolj ali manj melodično okrašen. Dobro besedilo s kapljico politike. In koncno še zadnji bend, vsempoznani Ensign. Teh tipov tudi nisem slišal že kar nekaj casa! Njihova verzija drvečega hardcora je še vedno okusna kot vedno, ali pa še bolj saj ima komad pristen melodije in uredu besedilo, ki se trudi povedati, naj bo vsak to kar je. Ja, to so bili izbrani bendi, ki bodo s skupnimi močmi zbombandirali današnjo mtv ''hardcore'' sceno in pokazali svetu, za kaj prava hardcore/punk scena stoji. Solidna kompilacija!

English Version:
This's probably my first compilation I ever reviewed. There're a few reasons why, though. Firstly, I'm a person who prefer buying individual band releases, secondly, there're faster and cheaper sources of getting known new bands, so I usually overlook compilations unless they're not for free and lastly, if I get a compilation it's usually just a sempler without included booklet with lyrics, photos and band infos, like in the case of Your Scene Sucks which has all needed conditions. The compilation is composed by 28 songs (around 14 preveously unreleased) done by 27 hardcore/punk bands, which are except in a few cases all home in usa. Ok, let's go... Cd starts with The Control's song which's taken from their ''The Forgitten'' e.p. I wrote about last week. Check it out here, so I won't waste my time with details. Next are Breath In I also wrote about lately when I reviewed their split with Time in Malta. It's a plain punk/hardcore song with shabby chords and rabid screaming. Nothing special and no lyrics included. Ohoho, next are hardcore veterans Sick of It All I haven't heard since my early discovering of hardcore world. It's amazing they still keep up with totally the same sound after all these years! Unfortunaly I was never too much inspired by that sound. Ther message from the lyric is ''free your mind''. I'm hearing the following band called Heads vs. Breakers for the first time and I already like it. Nice melodic emo/punkrock song sounding close to punkrock version of Hot Wather Music. They criticize hardcore scene and questioning if it's worth staying part of it. Most Precious Blood sound quality is on the level of garage recordings, which's probably the only reasonable explanation why they reminds me on Darkest Hour. As I remember theit debut on Trustkill, it was much different. Lyric about broken hearts and lost friendships. Next song, which's by the way work of infamous C.R. deliver just 30 seconds of distorted trash and nothing else. Kill Your Idols which I knew just by their name are presented with an old school hc song ala Youth of Today and the lyric which's against animal slaughtering for fur. Pretty boring music! The Curse were also unknown to me and I was not attracted after I heard their Rancid type of music. With lyric they express themselves how ''nice'' is it beeing a working class. Next are Summer Revolution, if you ask me, the hotest band inhere. I love this song! It's king of old school hc sounding music adorn by heavy metal guitar playing, but without sounding too metal or no metal at all. Intelligently written text criticize our human nature. Hope to hear more of this band! Tear It Up are the only band inhere having two songs but one's length least only 11 seconds so it doesn't really count. First it's a slow old school style hc song which's a total boredom and second is ultrafast madness not worth even its 11 seconds. Where're the lyrics? Capdown from England are playing melodic punkrock song unfortunately not convincing enough for me to approve it. Lyric deals with life in present time and the're expresing their desire/demand after changes, resistsnce... Than there's another unknown band called The Missing 23rd. Old school hc which sounds cool and remind me of time I used to collect Third Party Records releases. With lyric they tell us we have to face our fears. About the Downpur album where next song was taken from I already wrote something, so take a look here. Rise Against are one of many Fatwrack Chord bands I never heard about. Their song's great but I have that strange feeling that makes me think I'm listening to Strike Anywhere. I wonder who mirrors who? The lyric main issue's friendship. Next are Wage of Sin, a female-fronted metalcore band from usa. I'm really glad they appeared on this disc since I noticed their name quite frequetly these days and therefore wonted to check them out. They have promising metalcore song with hellish screaming vocal and lyric about painful consequences on losing someone close to your heart. They actually reminiscent of Walls of Jericho. I think it's really cool they took a style where female members are rarity! Ex Number Fine deserve the highest mark with their perfect melodic emo/punkrock song. Really amazing done peace of work, adorn with insuperable beautiful singing and nice lyric about friendship. Left With Nothing have a solid heavy sounding metlcore song with good intelligent text relating to cold society we live in. I was writing about Toxic Narcotic just before I started with this review so you can see the details by clicking here. I really don't know why they put inhere their worst song? Jedi 5 are new to me. They're doing some kind of emocore with a slight touch of metal and vocals that varied from rough almost unplesand gumble to nice beautiful singing. Reading the text I get a feeling they must be really pissed off on somebody at the time of writing it. No Denail's song is so untastefully done that makes me almost sick. Totally obsolete old school hc song I wouldn't bear even in the time of my old school fanaticism. Lyric starts with grumbling about how this life sucks but than they end it with some nice and positive words. Next are Reaching Forward from the Netherlands. I haven's heard these guys since their first 7'' on Commitment Rec. They still play old style hardcore, but I can hear some improvement. The song is rather slow but it's not bad, quite good actually. Lyric rounds around negative life changes. Books Lies song starts out like some crazy emoviolence band but than it turns into more classic hardcore rhythms. I thought they're better! No text! I hear Stampin' Ground for the first time and I can see I din't missed much. Metallic tough guy hardcore with Caliban type riffs and heavy breakdowns. Very violent music even for ears, but they have ok lyric dealing with sociol issues. Next are Engage and they're playing plesant old school hardcore with interesting singing, good riffs and positive written lyric. Cool stuff! Let it Burn have nice melodic rock'n'roll punkrock song and interesting text about (un)friendship. I like it. Red Light Flesh are coming from Austria, which make me wonder how I never heard of them before. I see their music as emocore that just a little remainds on Boy Sets Fire and it's more or less melodic. Nice lyric with a glance of political feeling. And finally the last band, well known Ensignd. I haven't heard from this guys for years. Their version of old school hardcore is still tasteful like always, or maybe even better since the song has a good sense of melody and fine lyric, where they're trying to teach us we have to be ourselves. Yep, these are the choosen bands which will with their united strengths bombarded todays mtv ''hardcore'' scene and show to the world what the real hardcore/punk scene stands for.
