Reviewed by: Darklight

This album is a cover compilation of classic songs by The Cure being covered by various industrial and goth bands. As with most compilations there are good songs and there are bad songs. I seem to enjoy the industrial versions of the songs much more than the gothic ones. I really like: The Electric Hellfire Club (Killing An Arab), Leaether Strip (Lullaby), Kill Switch...Klick (Jumping Someone Else's Train), Crocodile Shop (Let's Go To Bed), Ex-Voto (Shake Dog Shake), Wreckage (Pornography), Razed In Black (Disintegration), Test Infection (A Night Like This) and Death Lies Bleeding (A Forest). I don't care for: Nosferatu (100 Years), The Shroud (Sinking), Fahrenheit 451 (The Blood) and Bell, Book And Candle (Primary). The bottom line is that there are enough good songs here to make this album worth picking up.
