thanks to the very public image of their original lead singer. if only their incredibly deep instrumentation(thanks in part to their countless and varied influences)was such popular fodder for the international media. then, maybe people would know what posessed the bands on 'everything comes and goes' to do what they did. to make unusual songs more unusual takes vision and probably a LOT of bong hits. planet caravan is done very well and even features some female vocals(!!). a hardcore version of 'sabbath bloody sabbath' is very appropriate. basically the whole thing is pretty short, but it flows so well it almost doesn't seem like a compilation.

I own about 10 Sabbath tribute Cds. I prefer the Death versions by Dwell and the NIB versions. This one was a change of pace. Faires wear boots and Reversible Sabbath were very good. I got it for a $1.50 from Amazon. Well worth it. Some slower stoner stuff too.

The record company made several huge mistakes in the production of this CD. Having the first song be a piece of dung is not the smartest move. The first song is F/X which is disastrous, you can barely hear it and it's fricking weird, if you up your volume loud enough to hear it you'll blow your speakers when the next song comes up. That next song is Reversible Sabbath by Ruins. It's basicaly the chorus of the 10 classic Sabbath songs played one right after another. It's pretty cool but you'll be disappointed because the quality of the recording is extremely poor, you hear distortions, like if a 12 year old recorded it from a cheap tape player and burned it into a CD. It sounds like a garage band. I don't think the record company took this seriously. There are a couple other jewels here. Iron Man was played on an acoustic guitar and is awesome. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is very strong but the quality of the recording kills it. It's so frustrating. I recommend you buy the CD for the three songs I mentioned.
