4.0 out of 5 stars 'Covered In Black'-Various Artists(Cleopatra)AC/DC Tribute, January 21, 2005

By	Mike Reed (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I've always thought this release was maybe one of THE best tribute CD's I've ever heard.I've seen the AC/DC touring tribute band known as Hells Bells and THAT made me realize that Angus and the gang isn't the most difficult band on the globe to copy.No matter.If you're a true AC/DC fan,you should at least get something out of 'Covered In Black'.Out of the fourteen tracks,I liked Genitorture's "Squealer",Die Krupp's "Shot Down In Flames",Sister Machine Gun's "TNT" and GOdflesh's "For Those About To Rock" the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guess I'm the only one, but I loved it., December 18, 1999

By	Mal Cubed, High Episkopos, ODD. (Athens, Greece.) - See all my reviews

This is the first Cleopatra tribute album I ever heard, and it sent me on a long, strange road into industrial music that I have yet to return from. Some of the greats on this: Highway to Hell, now an EHC standard. Hell's Bells, as only Razed in Black could pull it off. And TNT--dare I say it? I actually prefer the Sister Machine Gun version to the original (please don't hurt me, sir. I'm sorry I disagreed with you.) 16 Volt's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap also feels quite creative, doing a good job of reinventing the song... Most of the other tracks on this album also sound quite pleasing, and although I admit I haven't listened to it in a while, I must say I can't recall a single track on the album that I didn't like.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for everyone, June 25, 1999

By A Customer

Although I am a relative purist, I thought these covers were different and abstract enough to merit some applause. Aside from a couple annoying numbers (the grating Back In Black), or for instance Whole Lotta Rosie which tried to hard to sound like the original and since no one can come close AC/DC's original, it is a miserable failure. Some really interesting choices though, like The Furor makes for a great industrial number, as does Squealer. I was most pleasently surprised.

I feel this cd should be in the reduced section. It is not ac/dc and these bands need to find a job at mc donalds.they cant hold a candle to the real ac/dc.
