Review by Anthony Persaud

The "25 Years Stoned Compilation" by Various RI Punk is a fantastic album that showcases the best of punk music from Rhode Island. The album features tracks from some of the most influential punk bands in the state, including The Suicide Machines, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and The Dropkick Murphys.

The album is a great representation of the punk scene in Rhode Island over the past 25 years. The tracks are raw, energetic, and full of attitude. The lyrics are socially conscious and politically charged, tackling issues such as poverty, racism, and police brutality.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Police State" by The Suicide Machines. The song is a scathing critique of police brutality and the militarization of law enforcement. The track is fast-paced and aggressive, with a catchy chorus that will have listeners singing along.

Another standout track is "Devil's Night Out" by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. The song is a classic ska-punk anthem that has become a staple of the band's live shows. The track is upbeat and fun, with a horn section that will get listeners dancing.
