    All Music Guide Review

    The cause is good. Jabberjaw is a casual, comfy, cool, crummy-club/coffeehouse, run by people who seem more interested in rock 'n' roll than making a pile-o-dough, a rarity in L.A. or anywhere in the U.S. urban club-scene. Sort of like a cheaper CBGB West, at least in attitude. Proceeds from this disc go to the club, and the bands here have all played there. Thus, the compilation, like Jabberjaw itself, tends to the excessively noisy, grungy, post-metal (crap like Helmet), and post-punk crazy. All 19 bands contribute something unreleased from their vaults (too bad it's not a "live at Jabberjaw" comp., though if they make enough on this to buy recording equipment, they can take that as our suggestion!). Best is Jawbox ripping the stuffing out of chomping "Chump II," Teenage Fanclub making up for that dump they took on the Arthur Lee tribute with "Total Weirdness," while Southern Culture on the Skids (good surf-abilly) Seaweed (decent punk), Inch (very promising post-punk!) and Unwound (surprise) turn in fine efforts. The unlistenable: Girls Against Boys, Hole, Hammerhead, Beck (he really is a loser, no irony), Slug, Chokebore, Mule, Karp, Surgery, Unsane, That Dog (they're so inconsistent), and Further. ~ Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover, All Music Guide
