1.0 out of 5 stars AWFUL EHHH!!!, October 13, 1999

This review is from: Red Star-Tribute to Rush (Audio CD)

After reading all the reviews for this CD, both good and bad, I decided to buy it because I really like Rush. My God this is horrible....I hate to judge someone elses musical taste, but come on....this just plan stinks. Not because it's too heavy or anything like that, in fact, I bought it because of that reason. These bands sound like a bunch of teenage garage bands making a mockery of Rush. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT buy this one!

It has never been a problem marketing the talentless to the tasteless. This album, with one minor exception, stands as an example to that fact.
As a long-time Rush fan I almost found listening to this CD sacrileges'.
Why would anyone dumb-down Rush's music in this way? The death-metal "vocalists" sound like they're gargling with broken glass. (My daughter actually thought they were trying to sing like the Cookie Monster!)
If you ever wondered how Rush's music would sound stripped of it's integrity, this is the album for you.
I found there was actually one track on this CD that made the purchase worthwhile: Freewill. The vocalist covering this track just nails the very high "cell of awarness" line. That kind of power and range has to be respected. Accordingly, I give him three stars for that one note.

Total garbage, except for "Tears." Should be titled "INSULT" to Rush! I can't believe anyone would publish this crap! Don't waste your time or money!
