Album Review: Various - Punk Goes '90s Vol 2

27 March 2014 | 12:18 pm | Jazmine O’Sullivan

"A thoroughly disappointing collection of songs."




The selection of classic '90s tunes found on this album of covers is boring at best, with none of the covers exceeding the standard of their original counterparts; in fact, all fall short in comparison. The album kicks off with everything that's wrong with “punk” – Get Scared performing a tame, watered-down, angsty version of Lit's My Own Worst Enemy. Things do not improve throughout the album, with the most interesting song choice, Rammstein's Du Hast, covered by Motionless In White sounding like nothing more than glorified karaoke. A thoroughly disappointing collection of songs.
