This compilation was originally released in 1998 and I have been trying to get my hands on it for a while but I was never able to find it. I am a huge Mineral fan and I just had to have this album but it never worked out. Thank God someone finally re-released it. For anyone who might be unfamiliar with this compilation, The First Crush is a collection of unreleased songs by some of the biggest and best emo/screamo/punk bands and within the album's jacket there is a story by almost every band about their first crushes. Some of the bands include Mineral, I Hate Myself, The Jazz June, Pop Unknown, Still Life, Jimmy Eat World, and At The Drive In.
The Mineral song is amazing and worth the price. This is probably one of the best compilations that I own. Unreleased songs of some of my favorite bands. I can't really be upset with that. This album is just amazing and I can't say all that much more about it. Pick it up. It's out on Thick as Thieves Records.
A+
