1.0 out of 5 stars Looking for a Laugh? Buy this CD!, July 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Tribute to Nirvana (Audio CD)

This title was one of those I grabbed with me without looking at it properly...The title seemed interesting enough and when I got home I sat down to listen to it anxious to hear other artists perform the writings of my idol. I was disappointed. Mainly because instead of the well known bands I had been hoping for the artists were all scandinavian. I think you can figure out the rest of the story for yourselves. Still, there is one performance on this particular CD that I recomend you get into your ears somehow (don't do it though by buying the CD): Smells Like Teen Spirit is rapped beyond recognition by some very imaginative Swedes (or was it Danes? Who cares?). Rap is one thing I thought you could not do to that song...but they do it anyway. The results are horrifying, bonechilling and strange. For summing up: This CD is not outragously bad, only Scandinavian and different. (Maybe not much difference?) It deserves the star for the SLTS (I honestly did not think it was possible to actually make this song into something I could not recognize at the first bars) Don't buy it though, It's not worth the money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid like the plague, June 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tribute to Nirvana (Audio CD)

How anyone could call this CD a tribute to Nirvana is beyond me. This is so crap it's unbelieveable. It's even got to the point where they can't even get the song titles right. "Make You Unhappy" is in fact "Sappy" a.k.a. "Verse Chorus Verse". None of these "artists" could ever come close to matching Nirvana and I really don't know why they bothered.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nirvana Collectors, October 5, 2000

Kurt Freak (Near Earth) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tribute to Nirvana (Audio CD)

If your a Nirvana CD collector then this is really worth buying. Although its not quite Nirvana, Its great to see the respect given to the best band of all time. Even if no one can ever match Kurt's vocal energy, the effort given by the featured bands is really worth hearing.
