5.0 out of 5 stars 80's revisited!, July 10, 2001

By	David Brodsky (Barcelona, Spain) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Werk 80 + 1 (Audio CD)

Simply one of the best albums ever. Great sound, cool songs, it's both metal and 80's pop. It's also the starting point for the sound Atrocity has reached in "Gemini". Don't miss it or you'll regret it!

*Bonus Tracks

From the crunchy effect rittled guitar to the up beat drum patterns of the originals, This album is truely an oddity. It being so out-of-the-ordinary is what makes it so grand. The vocals stand out above all, Its great hearing classics like Shout & Tainted Love being growled out by vocalist Krull, Though their is plenty of none growl induced vocals.. I really do like it when he belts out chourus' in deep tones. Each song is right on the money capturing the popishness of the original and blending in Atrocity style industrial/black/goth Metal. No two songs are even remotely alike and its like a whole new band each track. If you like Covers this is a must and if you like metal covers.. You should already own this. Atrocity fans.. Well.. Its Atrocity.. Its early work.. Its a glimpse of things that came to be. Take the oppourtunity to pick this up, Its a great addition to every collection!
