Product Description

From Amazon.com

Punk rock has long been known for its short, loud, and snotty anthems, but this is taking things to extremes. None of the songs found here reaches the one-minute mark. Some are among punk's most esteemed anthems, while others are casual additions to the canon. In either case, even if you don't like one tune, well, there's another one coming in just a few seconds. This isn't the best introduction to these bands. The Descendents, for example, are punk-pop titans who and not at their best when aping the hardcore set. However, where else can you find Less Than Jake, Nerf Herder, Blink 182, Green Day, the Mr. T. Experience, Gwar, the Circle Jerks, D.O.A., Agnostic Front, and the Muffs all on one CD? There's no shortage of top-shelf names here, and more than a few surprises will keep you hopping. --Rob O'Connor

5.0 out of 5 stars great idea and great music, Jan 15 2003

EK "EK" (Champaign, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Short Music for Short People (Audio CD)

This cd has tons of essential bands (the famous ones) and tons that have music just as good. If not for the music, then buy this CD because it makes for excellent drinking games. Just take a swig every time a new song comes on and you'll be smashed within the hour.

5.0 out of 5 stars good idea, good cd, Dec 8 2002

Angela M. Healey "AngelaMHealey" (Hull) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Short Music for Short People (Audio CD)

What is it?

This CD is 101 punk bands, each doing 30 second songs. This is a very good idea, and some of the songs are actually ok.

Will I have heard of any of the bands?

Yes, it has some gread bands such as Less Than Jake, Unwritten Law, Blink 182, Green Day, No Use For A Name, Guttermouth, Lagwagon, The Offspring, Youth Brigade, The Misfits, Snuff, Penywise, NOFX, Rancid, and a lot more. This is also good to get a taste of what some other bands are like, it can introduce you to so much more great music!

Is it good value?

It's not bad, ten dollars for 50 minutes of music. I think the value is good.

So should I buy it?

Definitely.
