4.0 out of 5 stars Nice addition, May 28, 2009

Being a fan of female singers, and recently searching out goth related music, I stumbled on the song "Every Day is Halloween" on an internet goth radio show. The price was right on Amazon to take a chance. It turns out that other songs "Never Let Me Down Again", "The Chauffeur" and "I Know There's Something Going On" are also quite good even after multiple listenings. However, some other entries were not to my liking, especially for remakes of songs that are still well known.

The bottom line: Worth getting if you can get it inexpensively, and I'm happy I have it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Indifferently recorded., January 24, 2007

Some of the tracks are a bit interesting, a couple quite good, the rest are lifeless and somewhat boring. I was hoping for a bit more punch but Tina seems a bit too laid back. I have not decided whether some of the songs were poorly chosen or it is the arrangement which is lacking. Much talent, much potential, little delivered.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but ultimately a novelty item, July 12, 2011

This is an interesting set of covers that, while they don't wear thin, start to blend into each other. Very respectable interpretations of "Never Let Me Down," "Black Hole Sun" and "Karma Police." A funny treatment of "Yellow." Not unenjoyable but bears listening only in small doses.
