While every annual WARPED TOUR COMPILATION features an army of emo, punk-pop, and hardcore acts, the 2006 edition offers up a few stylistic surprises. The admirably eclectic two-disc set begins with "The End," a propulsive track by Saves the Day, and proceeds to touch on alternative metal (Helmet's "Bury Me"), gypsy rock (via Gogol Bordello's "Not a Crime"), and neo-goth rock (I Am Ghost's "We Are Always Searching"), while also including usual suspects like screamo heroes Escape the Fate ("Ransom").
