Coveralbums are a cool thing, and after fifteen years plus in the biz,
it’s New Jersey’s Overkill turn to deliver us their spare-time goodies. Some great tunes collected over the years,
some that are more interesting than good, and a horrible version of Purple’s "Space Truckin`". Three Sabbath-covers,
and "Changes" has been transformed into a classic coverversion thanks to Ellsworth`s vocals and Verni`s godlike
bassplaying. Of course, Motörhead`s "Overkill" is here in splendid condition, and they also pay homage to Jethro
Tull, Sex Pistols, Ramones and Manowar, to mention a few. If you’re a fan, of course you should get it. If you’re
not familiar with the best band in the world, get 1985`s "Feel The Fire" and work your way all up to this year’s
"Necroshine". You won’t regret it.
