"If you can find another compilation of great artists with a DVD of music videos at this price.... oh wait you can't."
Pretty Darned Good

"Popular punk label Epitaph has decided to retire its long running Punk-O-Rama compiltions with the two disc CD/DVD series labeled Unsound. Over all -- even though the Punk-O-Rama series were pretty good -- these are even better. Epitaph has been home to some of the best punk bands and recently expanded its catalog to feature metal hardcore bands like Converge to the pop rock band Some Girls. Unsound contains tracks from both. There's also a track from the Three-Fourths of Hot Water Music now recording under the name "The Draft."
Over all this is a good buy, but it does feature some new artists doing unoriginal emo songs that I'm surprised Epitaph released. Most of the best songs are from albums you probably already own. If you do, own them, that is, then you don't need this record. If, however, you don't, then this is a good buy."
Not a fan, but at least they changed the name and i can resp

"if you knew me, you would probably know that i love punk music....old epitaph bands tickle my fancies greatly..they days when epitaph was THE punk label..you know, the label with all the re-mastered classics, plus phenomenal newer acts
anyways, until recently, this whole new emo/screamo thing was getting on my nerves...mainly for the reason that it was being labeled as "Punk." yes, this compilation still contains bad religion and pennywise..which is great..i mean i would never buy this for just 2 decent songs and i still pretty much hate new emo, but i can respect epitaph records now that they ditched "punk o rama" since they contain very little punk.
epitaph has a great extension in Hellcat Records to appease the punks/skins...i would surely recommend that someone pick up the "give em the boot" compilations if they want punk rock.
now, the only thing i really despise epitaph for these days is the fact that they have so many classics that are out of print and near impossible to find!
bottom line, if you want punk go to hellcat, if you want new emo and other oddity musicians come to this, the new phase of punk o rama. 2 stars because i dont really care for this, but it earns my respect."
