they recruit a vocalist known for her clean singing, then never let her do cleans even on tracks that really very much better fit them than standard death metal growls (see: the Judas Priest cover). There's an unnecessary seriousness to these tracks that robs them of the spirit of being covers--that they're supposed to represent another band having *fun* reinterpreting tracks from other bands they enjoy. But in typical Arch Enemy fashion everything is overproduced to the point of being emotionally sterile, even the hardcore punk songs feel lifeless. Despite that, the guitars also sound very bad. The riffing doesn't sound very crisp, which drastically hinders the punk covers. I don't get why this exists.

band disputes intellectual copyright, releases an album full of other band?s songs... These guys should stick to stealing photographs.

I approach every tribute album with lowered expectations, as few even come anywhere close to matching the original songs. I've also never been a fan of Death Metal vocalists of any kind, so I knew beforehand this was going to be a challenging listen. This album almost seems promising when you look at the track listing, which includes songs from Priest, Manowar, Megadeth, Scorpions, Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Kiss and even Tears For Fears. But the band just consistently annihilates each song into a horrid mess of overblown guitars and tuneless vocals. I'm definitely going to need a palate cleanser after this one.

Abraham Maslow said in 1966, "I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.". In this release, Arch Enemy sound like the epitome of hammer-nail dipole at its most inane rendition yet. It's a shame because each and every one of the band's constituents is capable of so much more...
