Editorial Reviews

For Those About to Rot assembles 11 bands from Germany, Canada, Norway, Czech Republic, and the U.S. to pay tribute to Aussie rockers AC/DC. The problem with many tribute albums is the artists' tendency to recreate the original recordings with reverential worship. This compilation stays away from the copycat syndrome, providing unusual and bizarre versions of original material, including Dementia's take on "Back In Black" and Necrology's version of "You Shook Me All Night Long." ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide

i love ac/dc, and i also love death metal. together the two sound LAME. this album could be better if they had more talented bands with better vocals. the bands that performed on this cd didnt mix their own sound into the ac/dc sound very well, and it would have been better if they had more of their own sound. maybe next time they should try bands that could do a good job on covers like dimmu borgir, or try bands like shadows fall who did an amazing cover of "welcome to the machine" by pink floyd. overall i say you should not buy this cd, the sound will give you a headache if you are a hardcore ac/dc fan, but if you like death metal and ac/dc, give it a shot, and if you despise it, you can make fun of it or give it to a friend.

this has to be the worst album i have ever heard. its is terrible. i think it is an abomination to ac/dc. this isnt a tribute to ac/dc, it is an insult
