4.0 out of 5 stars Strange Mixture of Goth and Bowie-but it works.
Those listening to this album expecting pristine, or at least "normal" rock and roll covers will be disappointed. These songs have been rearranged in the goth style, and if you don't like dark, melancholy music, you will not like this album.

That being said, for fans of the genre this is a great collection. Some attempts work well, others not so much. But...

I have to first say I respect the composition skill an playing of the musicians on this tribute album and their selection of material. Among the songs on this disc are some of my favorites of DB's more contemporary work. The overwhelming odor of death that permeates this disc overshadows the beauty of it. On tracks like the Motel the playing is pompous and overbearing as an insufficiently talented guitar player attempts to usurp the song's strength with the raw uncontrolled flutter of an overeffected accoustic guitar. Only buy this disc if you feel so compelled that you have no option.

That being said, for fans of the genre this is a great collection. Some attempts work well, others not so much. But exploring this material from the concepts of a different genre is what this album is all about.
