I bought this along with the first Newer Wave and I must say, this one is a great deal better in my opinion although I like them both. I love almost every song on here in the original form and most I found on here were even better (what can I say, I'm a sucker for noise!).

I only bought it because I'm the biggest Psychedelic Furs fan and I love this interpretation. As for the rest of the cd... It will grow on me, eventually.

i don't think they were trying to copy the songs, they tried to make it modern, i mean if you wanted to hear the same song, you don't need another artist to do it, you can just listen to the original band, i'm glad they didn't do the covers the same as the originals, that's what a good cover is(in my opinion), these are very good covers, i like both albums

Man, just try to find a copy of 1999 cover by Xorcist.
What a slue of cool bands too.

I hate this album. It is all cover songs, done by bands that ALL have a style that is, well, Different, and I mean that in a bad way. I liked every one of these songs, when they were first released. I've even heard some of them covered and liked those versions also. However, none of the tracks on this CD are even remotely recognizable as the songs as originally done. Not even close. In fact, they are so far away from it, that I'm keeping the album to use as a party game, called 'Guess The Song'. The first person to guess correctly wins a prize. Extra credit, of course, if they know the original recording artist. Like I said, I hate this album, so unless you want some extremely odd renditions of some really good music, I wouldn't buy it. Oh, if you're looking for something to dance to, however, this CD does have a good beat, and in all fairness, it would be a great CD to dance to.
