If you're looking at this review, then obviously you're thinking about buying this record. The best advice I can give you about it is that if you like the bands, then buy the comp, if you don't, then don't buy the comp. That's pretty much all I can say really, it has some really great songs, as well as some that aren't that great, but if you like the bands and/or revelation....buy the comp. Highlights are Shai Hulud's, Sick Of It All's, Ignite's, Gorilla Biscuits', and Quicksand's songs. P.S. The Slipknot on the comp is not the "nu-metal" band, so don't let that be the only thing that stops you from buying it.
