Most regrettable purchase one could make

"I guess they had it coming as part of the "Renegades" backlash, huh? Before I get to trashing this waste of studio time, I'll point out the few good points on this cd...Tavu's version of People of The Sun is a riot. Hearing the way that foreign dude sings "Tobbac-OH, I'm the Marlboro man, Uhh" cracks me up every time. And Evasl's cover of Bulls On Parade is nice, despite the female vocalist and the fact that the guitarist can't even IMITATE Tom's imitation of a turntable. Other than that, it's the die hard Rage fan's worst nightmare...Only THREE Battle of LA songs? How come no one wanted to cover Down Rodeo or No Shelter? But then, maybe it's for the better that these hacks shied away from such great songs as Tire Me and Maria, considering how badly they destroyed the band's mediocre songs. In fact, they should have only covered Rage's worst, but that would've made for a really short cd..."

Its not too bad, you just have to be a die hard rage fan

"yes many of the songs sound like drunken coffee shop songs, but the simpicity is what makes it good. sure many of teh songs are not hard at all, but when you listen to it, it makes you want to just pop in a real rage cd (hence tribute). the best song on the cd "year of the boomerang" by jenny barry is awesome. i think she should have just done the whole album. she takes a freaking hard rock song and makes it blues. it sounds as if zach was actually writing a blues song. and if youre looking for more of a rage sound listen to killing in the name of. much of the album creates uneasiness for regular rage listeners."
