Rebellion: A Tribute to Queensrÿche (2000)

Cost: $1.00

Yes, as a Dwell Records tribute the bar isn't set that high to begin with, but what's with the especially awful layout?  It looks like something a gothic or industrial band would use.

 

This is a bit unusual for a Dwell metal tribute as the only extreme band here is Darkside, who do a doom/death version of "Someone Else?"  The other bands all pretty much do straight up covers, so I'm not going to bother doing a track-by-track review.  This is also one of the later Dwell tributes where the band lineup is pretty obscure--aside from Darkside I only knew Ion Vein and Shadowkeep.  Tracklist slightly favors Mindcrime I with 4 songs, but covers everything up to Promised Land with the exception of Rage for Order (which gets no coverage).  Moot point anyway since all I truly care about from Queensrÿche is the debut EP...
