Disco de U2: “A Tribute to U2 [Big Eye]”

No tribute here, same band does all the songs (Irish Rock Association) and does em exactly as U2 does em, just a cover band, no tribute, Don't get fooled by this!

In all fairness, I must say right off the bat that I have not listened to this album, only to the samples provided on this page. That being said, if this counts as a "tribute to U2" I should start recording my shower singing and sell that. Amazon doesn't list who these "Various Artists" are, but to me it sounds like the same guy doing a very bad Bono imitation on every track. The music itself sounds like it came from a karaoke machine, and like the vocals, it is a souless note for note, inflection for inflection copy in every way, down to the double tracking of the vocals on Discotheque. Pop your favorite U2 songs on the car stereo and sing along, you'll get more feeling out of it and probably sound better too.

I love U2. It's my favorite band ever, but this is no tribute. It doesn't even deserve to have "U2" in the title. If you want to listen to U2, listen to U2! Not a crappy cover.
