For its 13th anniversary, one of the leading labels specializing in punk rock and hardcore, I SCREAM, decided to release a compilation of 25 songs from bands under the label's care. In reality, the system by which the tracklist was assembled is probably understood only by those who compiled it. Common classification schemes find absolutely no application here. The material itself is completely unrelated to one another — angry and brutal hardcore gives way to a whole string of melodic, simplistic punk compositions. Overall, the disc is primarily a kind of progress report and allows one to briefly familiarize themselves with the label's profile. Additionally, one cannot overlook the presence of 5 tracks from new I SCREAM releases on the compilation. The idea behind the compilation certainly deserves respect; however, I repeat, it's compiled very strangely — the sequence of tracks, absolutely disparate in style, produces a chaotic impression.
