    Oh wow, cool! This must be a compilation of indie hardcore bands, right? Wrong! This is a rehash of old songs from the R.E.X. catalog - dating back to that label's beginning. Songs by Trytan, Detritus, Killed By Cain, and Greg Minier are anything but hardcore. Of course, songs like "Dies Irae" (Believer), "Skate or Die" (The Lead), "Front" (Six Feet Deep), "Twisted Reality" (Circle of Dust), and "Gutterboy" (Argyle Park) are cool to have collected on one CD (especially for those new to the scene who have never heard these tunes), but it just bums this reviewer out that a title with the word "core" in it was used. This is one of those products that you have to read the fine print of before buying. Beware.
