Various - The Attack Of The Dragons
	Released: 2000 Label: Adrenaline Cat. No.: ADR 015 Total Time: 50:00
	Reviewed by: Bjørnar Bevolden, November 2002 As some of you know, Adrenaline has put out some tribute albums in the past, the most known is probably the Dream Theater tribute – Voices – A Tribute To DT. Their latest tribute album is a double CD set tribute to Queen. As I don't have the whole set, I will only review CD 1. The tracklist is as follows: Seasons Of The Wolf – "We Will Rock You," Evil Wings – "Killer Queen," Avalanch – "Save Me," Jesse Jones Project, Aztec Jade – "The Show Must Go On," Marci Geller – "You"re My Best Friend," Hotrod Otis – "Another One Bites the Dust," Vighilia – "Innuendo," Graffitti Circus – "Dragon Attack," The Last Band On Earth – "Fat Bottomed Girls," Spread Mind – "One Vision," and Maybebop – "Bohemian Rhapsody". As you see from the list above, only a few of these bands seem familiar. Of course, covering a legendary and original band like Queen is probably not the easiest task in the world. Nevertheless, when releasing a tribute, you should preferably be paying tribute to a band with good interpretations, adapting some of your bands trademarks into the songs, making it new and interesting. Well, this is hardly the case here. Some of the bands do a good job and should rightfully be credited for that. Aztec Jade, Evil Wings, Marci Geller and Vighilia leave a good impression, but as for the rest, they leave me cold. They seem rather uninspired, and it doesn't help much lacking a good production. Well, I wouldn't exactly classify this as a tribute in the correct meaning of the word, but for fans of abovementioned bands this might be interesting checking out. For the rest of you, steer away.
