Review

Tributized Records continues on in fine fashion with yet another brutal, pulverizing tribute to one of the hottest metal acts around today, Godsmack!

Features incredible covers of Godsmack s best songs including Time Bomb, Keep Away, I Stand Alone, Awake and many more!

Godsmack are one of the most popular bands in the nu metal scene and the time to pay our respects is now!

This tribute album brings together a host of talented underground metal scenesters who have generously contributed there immense talent to make this very special record!

Casual fans of of the Boston-based metal quartet Godsmack know that the band took its moniker from a song title by the Godfathers of Grunge and one of Godsmack s biggest influences, Alice In Chains. Insanely dedicated fans know that Godsmack is vocalist Sully Erna s wickedly modern interpretation of the ancient belief in karma - do wrong and sooner or later you will find yourself at the receiving end of a mighty bitch slap courtesy of Providence s hand. Since the band s formation, Godsmack has done no wrong, releasing a trilogy of terrifyingly visceral and brutally honest albums, Godsmack (1997), Awake (2000) and Faceless (2003), that have made Erna & company one of the premier metal acts of our lifetimes. Chosen for two consecutive runs on the venerated Ozzfest tour, Godsmack built a loyal and massive following on the strength of their haunting live performances that filled stadiums with a palpable, kinetic energy and intense passion. With each new step, Godsmack continues to provoke, challenge and expand their audience who in turn have offered undying support and exultation. Which brings us to the monumental tribute album you are holding in your hands. Here gathered are several veterans and newcommers of the modern metal scene who have dedicated themselves to reconstructing some of Godsmack s best songs with a whole new level of freshness and ferocity. Consider it a credit on a kharmic debt that is long overdue. --Cleopatra Records

2.0 out of 5 stars NOT MUCH OF A TRIBUTE, January 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: A Tribute to Godsmack (Audio CD)

THE MUSIC ON THIS CD IS PRETTY FAITHFUL TO THE ORIGINAL. THE SINGING IS ANOTHER STORY. THE ONE GUY WHO SINGS SHOULD STICK TO HIS DAY JOB, CAUSE A FUTURE IN THE MUSIC BIZ HE DOES NOT HAVE. I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN THE SONG SELECTION TOO. I WOULD HAVE LIKED THEM TO INCLUDE VOODOO FROM THE FIRST CD. ALSO, DUMP I STAND ALONE AND INCLUDE STRAIGHT OUT OF LINE. I'VE SEEN GODSMACK SEVERAL TIMES, AND THEY NEVER DISAPPOINT. WISH I COULD SAY THE SAME ABOUT THIS ALBUM. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH TRIBUTE ALBUMS FOR BANDS THAT HAVE ONLY BEEN AROUND A FEW YEARS. ANYWAY, I WOULD HAVE GIVEN A HIGHER RATING IF NOT FOR THE POOR VOCAL PERFORMANCES ON HALF THE SONGS.

2.0 out of 5 stars tribute to godsmack:a slap in the face., March 21, 2005

This review is from: A Tribute to Godsmack (Audio CD)

i've been a godsmack fan since the beginning,and they've inspired alot of alt.metal bands and were themselves inspired by the great alice n chains. if i were sully,(and the rest of the band included),i'd be pissed that someone actually had the balls to produce such a compilation of crap!the artists covering the songs have no originality,well,maybe the females do a little.but the lead vox are the equivelant of rakeing nails on a chalkboard.i dont think hellen keller was as tone-deaf as this guy is.and god smack hasnt been around long enough to have a tribute album anyhow.are they trying to retire godsmack in there prime or what? if they were true fans of godsmack,they would've thought this out a little more thoroughly.
