I bet this seemed like a good idea at the time. With Tribute albums being all the rage, I guess someone felt that it was time to pay homage to one of the greatest hardcore bands in history. The thing with Bad Brains was that they lived the life, and they also made sacrifices. Basically banned from their home of D.C. due to a dispute with a more powerful dude in the scene (I guess they caused a little Fugazi), the displaced Bad Brains went on to create some of the most memorable music in the scene. OK, tributes can be cool, but who the hell decided that Moby should lead this thing off? His cover sucks, and honestly, I was ready to throw the disc away in disgust after hearing that track. Things pick up a bit with Ignite and Skinlab, but there are so many fucking stinkers here that it's abasing. It also goes to prove that good production does not a band make, as the Bad Brains were also very adept at their instruments, something not to be said of all the artists here. Now, I'm not going to point fingers and blame, but even the once mighty Entombed embarass themselves here with their just horrible version of Yout' Juice. Are there any winners? Well, Vision of Disorder's Soulcraft has some of the sound, and some of the vibe, as does 16's Right Brigade, but then Sepultura kicks in and ruins everything. I say stay away, but I bet this sells a ton of copies to kids that have never even heard the originals. You want to honor the band? Rerelease their older, hard to find albums like the original Rock for Light along with this brown nugget.
