Alternative Rock Compilations music reviews

"Everyone who listens to public radio should be familiar with the term Adult Album Alternative (AAA). It's the new-ish music programming format that's been adopted in varying degrees by much of public radio culture, including local affiliate WFPK-FM (91.9). This compilation album is basically a AAA promo. Four pre-eminent public radio DJs from across the country - including WFPK's recently departed programming director, Dan Reed - each chose three of their favorite tunes to make this venture spin. It's an interesting project with considerable results: a solid and emotionally equitable compilation more fluid than most. It avoids the artifice of highbrow artfulness that plagues so many of the half-assed mix tapes you've been hearing across the public radio dial in the past few years. "Good call!" kudos go to Reed for picking local boys Hell's 1/2 Acre, whose "Sun Comes Up" is without question the best song here. Bruce Warren (of Philadelphia's WXPN) introduces us to Amy Correia's "Hold On (The Prison Song)," a fine tune sure to help invigorate the painfully ambiguous AAA format. Hell's 1/2 Acre plays with Marah and Cabin Saturday night at Headliners." -Stephen George/LEO Staff Writer

The most powerful song i think ever written about love and security is the first song on this album "Demons Away" By Matt Skiba of the Alkaline Trio, the rest of the album is hard to fallow and really doesn't do that great of a job but it is an awsome cd check it out if you like the plea for peace comps take action or any of the sort of benefit comps (fo some reason bands put their best songs on thee hard to find cds)

I bought the PROTECT CD because, at this price, even if it wasn't very good I'd have supported some musicians and my money would go to a good cause.
Well, I supported musicians, my money went to a good cause... and this is a great CD! My copy arrived today, and it's been in my laptop since I opened the box. It's got some musicians who are in my regular rotation, and some of whom I've never heard. The songs go great with the ideas behind PROTECT.org (I'm a card-carrying member) and they sound great. I'm really excited - and pleasantly surprised - to be enjoying this disc.
I will be ordering at least four more copies, for my kids for the holidays. Because this CD, Mommy doesn't want to share.
