“Tracks 3-7 are just about the 5 best songs in a row on any compilation. Oxford Collapse plays a catchy and wonderfully angular song with “Please Visit Your National Parks.” It’s followed by a song from Sufjan Stevens that sounds NOTHING like Sufjan Stevens, it’s a noisy distorted guitar blast of indie punk. I’m from Barcelona follows with a supremely catchy horn driven song that would be huge on any college campus. Aesop Rock comes next with a fantastic song. I’d heard a lot about Aesop Rock but had never heard him before, and he raps the kind of rap that I like: cerebral and bouncy. This is followed by Reykjavik! with a crazy, noisy surf-guitar type of song. It reminds me of some great college rock from the early 90s.”
