Ethan's Review: Not as good as NFG but buy this after you get NFG. This CD rocks. If youve never heard them they sound like The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

John's Review: Agreeded, not as good as NFG and do sound like Mighty Mighty Bosstones, but still good. I believe with all the insturments they make a unique sound. Kinda like punk meets your band class.

Name: Rancid
Album: ...And out come the wolves
Release Date: 1995
Type: Punk/Ska
Recod Label: Epitaph

Ethan's Review: Ummmm...what can i say about this cd. Its ok. The lyrics, you can tell, they didnt spend much time on them. Its not all that fast like blink or nfg. The singers arent all that good. But the bassest is complete and utterly
awesome. Dont buy it for the guitars either because you will be dissapointed.

John's Review: I havent heard the entire CD, but i can say that the lyrics could have been made by 3-year-olds. The bassest is mean, and the gutair isnt great. Worth listening too though if you didnt have to pay for it. Do yourself a favor, buy yourself a good lunch with the money youll save from not buying it and buring it off your super-punk friend(were supposing you have a super-punk friend).

Name: Box Car Racer
Album: Box Car Racer
Release Date: 2002
Type: Punk(kinda)
Recod Label: MCA

John's Review: Ethan's not here to review it so im gonna review it all. This CD is awesome. If you dont have it, you need it now. Buy it. If you buy it from Best Buy in the first week it comes out you get $2 off anyways, so what have you got to lose?

Name: Weezer
Album: Maladroit
Release Date: 2002
Type: General/Alternative Rock
Record Label: Greffen

This is another one from the band that died and came back. Its got a kind of laid back style to its music. Although not a big hit to many, i found it pretty good. Try to burn it tough before buying it, you might not like it.

Name: Blink 182
Album: Take off your Pants and Jacket
Release Date: 2001
Type: PoserPunk/Punk/Rock
Record Label: MCA

While many would argue that this CD is another testament to Blink's selling out, I thought this CD was awesome. I thought it had plenty of tracks and instead of seeing it as "oh there old stuff was better" as an improvement over many. Even though i do have to say that The Mark, Tom, and Travis show pretty much blos all of the rest of them out except for very early ones. Buying this is a must, but make sure you get the one in the paper case. If you get the hard plasticv one, you get gipped 2 bonus songs.

Name: New Found Glory
Album: Sticks and Stones
Release Date: 2002
Type: Punk
Record Label: Drive-Thru Records/MCA

Ahhh, another timeless classic from NFG. Well, kinda. Its not as remerable as say... Nothing Gold Can Stay, but its definetly pretty good. The lyrics mabye could have been spent a little more time on, but sense a lot of bands are kind of at a deadlock on CD's, its good that NFG came out to refresh the Fanbase. Buy if your really hungry for some new material.

Name: Unwritten Law
Album: elva
Release Date: 2002
Type: Alternative
Record Label: Interscope

Although an over all good CD, some of the tracks on it DEFINETLY should have gotten the boot. But the fair share of good tracks made it worth the money. Well, if you bought it in the first week anyways. Titles like Sound Siren and How You Feel keep the CD strong. I bought it, and i think you should too.
