The Punisher Rocks!

I finally picked up this CD the other day and it rules! I was suprised though that despite the thunderous opening track by the new Drowning Pool, theres alot of melow and accoustic rock on this album. How many of them are actually in the movie is beyond me, but this is definately a must have album. Other than the metal of Drowning Pool, theres Hatebreed and Damage Plan feat. Jerry Cantrell. Then theres the commercial rock outfits like Puddle of Mudd, Nickleback, Trapt, Finger Eleven, and Seether, who also do a great track with Amy Lee of Evanescence.
Also on hand are a bunch of new rock acts like Edgewater, who were hyped alot, but didn't do much for me here. Other new faces are Strata, Seven Wiser, Submersed, and Atomship. There's also a very good solo effort by Ben Moody of Godhead.

Must Hear Tracks:
Drowning Pool - Step Up
Seether feat Amy Lee - Broken
Smile Empty Soul - Finding Myself
Damage Plan feat Jerry Cantrell - Ashes to Ashes
Ben Moody feat Jason 'Gong' Jones - The End Has Come
Finger Eleven - Slow Chemical (AKA Kane's current WWE Theme!)
Seven Wiser - Sick

Again, I highly recommend getting this CD!
