"OK so I'm not a fan of tribute albums. Most really stink. But every once in a while something comes along that get's it right. It stands on it's own merits and delivers the goods and then some. This is just one of those very very few tribute albums of quality. Of course if you're a head in the ground goth you will definitely hate it so don't bother. Then again if the whole concept of an "alternative" is truly appealing then this might just do the trick. It's actually hard to decribe the type of music on this disc. It's actually not Goth at all. Very modern, almost Techo/Punk treatments of the songs of Bauhaus. Quite an interesting mix of tracks as well. I for one like it. I think you have to have a few years under your belt to appreciate this collection. If you really do like Bauhaus because of how far they went in those 4 years, if you find all the different styles of music they incorporated into their sounds appealing, if you realize that for the most part Bauhaus didn't really play much Gothic music and were for all intents and purposes an Art Rock/Glam/Post Punk bank and you love them for it, then you'll like this disc."
