Here's what The Daily Nebraskan had to say about A Situation LIke This:

Various Artists - A Situation Like This
3/5 stars

The story goes, a collective of Lincoln-based musicians wanted to make a compilation CD. An introductory group of five bands offered up two songs apiece for the comp. For the second go round of an album, the five bands picked five other bands to take their place on the comp. Now we're on round three, and the talent level hasn't dropped off.

"A Situation Like This" is the third offering from the collection and features two tracks apiece from five local bands, including Once A Pawn, Justin Kohmetscher, The Thielgoods, The Government and The Show is the Rainbow. Lucky listeners even get a bonus track from local heavyweights Eagle*Seagull.

Once A Pawn starts off the CD with "Like U.S. Media," offering an introduction of distortion and effects leading into a blistering two-and-a-half minutes of the band's signature punk sound.

The album doesn't pretend all local music is punk rock, proving so with The Thielgoods' "Too Many Nights," a quieter ditty with more of an alt-country feel that would fit in at a bar like Bob's Tavern. The Government's "I Hate This Town" brought immediate comparisons to Ween in that it takes a serious tone to the song but undermines the seriousness by adding intelligent and at the same time corny lyrics.
