5.0 out of 5 stars Great tribute for power metal - Nuclear blast label fans, February 1, 2003

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

I'll start saying that this tribute is highly recommandable to any power metaller who knows at least a few bands on the album.
As the track list is not displayed, here it is :

1. He s A Woman, She s A Man (Helloween)
2. Rock You Like A Hurricane (Sinergy)
3. Dynamite (Paradox)
4. Still Loving You (Sonata Artica)
5. Blackout (Stratovarius)
6. Don t Stop At The Top (Children of Bodom)
7. Dark Lady (Agent Steel)
8. Top Of The Bill (Steel Prophet)
9. Dampflockfuhrer (Prolopower)
10. Coming Home (Tankard)
11. Coast To Coast (Disbelief)
12. Passion Rules The Game(To/Die/For)
13. Pictured Life (Breaker)
14. Polar Nights (Therion)
15. Is There Anybody There (Rough Silk)
16. Another Peace Of Meat (Metalium)
17. Alien Nation (Seven Witches)
18. Send Me An Angel (Custard)
19. Rock You Like A Hurricane (S.O.D)

Beware : If you've never heard of Nuclear Blast, or if you're a stranger to the names 'Stratovarius', 'Sonata Arctica', 'Children of Bodom', I wouldn't recommend it ... unless you like taking risks. But I think this is still great even for those who don't know bands from Nuclear Blast.

If you know some of the bands, you may be surprised by their different sound. At first, I didn't recognize 'Children of Bodom' and 'Sonata Arctica', but the covers are damn great !

However, I found something quite insulting in this album : S.O.D's cover of 'Rock you like a hurricane'. It doesn't last one minute, you just have time to hear a stupid scream and it's over. And the photo of the band inside the booklet confirmed my idea these guys are horrible.

The words can't describe the joy I feel when I'm listening to this album. Ever track on here is worth listening to (except for the last one by S.O.D. which isn't even a minute in leangth). My favoret track on here is Sonata Arctica's cover of "Still Loving You." Buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it!!!!!!!!

The Scorpions never sounded better. This tribute is well worth adding to your archives of metal. Inspired by the pioneers of metal, you can't help but like this one. Take away Therion's cover of Crying Days and Rough Silk's version of Is There Anybody There and your left with 16 killer tracks. The best thing about the cd is the artists choices of songs. Helloween's cover of He's a Woman She's a man is fast and heavy as well as Paradox's version of Dynamite. The covers hit the Scorps when they were definatly at thier best, older tracks such as Top of the Bill, Dark Lady, and Pictured Life. Tankard's cover of Coming Home is SUPPER SPEEDY, the best it can get. I HIGHLY recommend this cd. ONE OF THE BEST COVERS YOU'LL FIND OUT TODAY!
