'Covered In Black'-Various Artists(Cleopatra)AC/DC Tribute.......2005-01-21

I've always thought this release was maybe one of THE best tribute CD's I've ever heard.I've seen the AC/DC touring tribute band known as Hells Bells and THAT made me realize that Angus and the gang isn't the most difficult band on the globe to copy.No matter.If you're a true AC/DC fan,you should at least get something out of 'Covered In Black'.Out of the fourteen tracks,I liked Genitorture's "Squealer",Die Krupp's "Shot Down In Flames",Sister Machine Gun's "TNT" and GOdflesh's "For Those About To Rock" the best.

AC/DC TRIBUTE.......2000-01-06

I FEEL THIS TRIBUTE IS WORTHY OF AC/DC. WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS THIS IS THE BEST TRIBUTE EVER. IF YOU ARE A TRUE AC/DC FAN U OWN ALL THE ALBUMS AND YOU HAVE POSTERS ON YOUR WALLS. LIKE ME. I HAVE BEEN AN AC/DC FAN SINCE 5 YEARS OLD THATS MAKE ME TRUE. I RECOMMEND U LISTEN TO THIS AND BUY IT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.

Guess I'm the only one, but I loved it........1999-12-18

This is the first Cleopatra tribute album I ever heard, and it sent me on a long, strange road into industrial music that I have yet to return from. Some of the greats on this: Highway to Hell, now an EHC standard. Hell's Bells, as only Razed in Black could pull it off. And TNT--dare I say it? I actually prefer the Sister Machine Gun version to the original (please don't hurt me, sir. I'm sorry I disagreed with you.) 16 Volt's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap also feels quite creative, doing a good job of reinventing the song... Most of the other tracks on this album also sound quite pleasing, and although I admit I haven't listened to it in a while, I must say I can't recall a single track on the album that I didn't like.

Biggest waste of money ever!.......1999-12-01

Warning: do not even consider buying this piece of garbage. One song on this entire CD is done okay (squealer). The rest are absolutely horrible. Not only that but the song selection was bad right off the bat. The furor? Badlands? Gimme a break. The remake of Back in Black is quite possibly the worst thing I've ever heard. Was this CD a joke? The bands who particpated in this should be boiled alive. HORRIBLE!

Not for everyone.......1999-06-25

Although I am a relative purist, I thought these covers were different and abstract enough to merit some applause. Aside from a couple annoying numbers (the grating Back In Black), or for instance Whole Lotta Rosie which tried to hard to sound like the original and since no one can come close AC/DC's original, it is a miserable failure. Some really interesting choices though, like The Furor makes for a great industrial number, as does Squealer. I was most pleasently surprised.
