Title: Go Buy Snap
Review: Though a heart felt tribute to one of Britain's best and most inspriational bands could be thrilling, and judging by many of the names on this album, you would think it should be, this is rather tedious. Reef does the worst cover of "That's Entertainment," outside of my shower. Everything But the Girl does a xerox of the original "English Rose" without out all the teenage passion and innocence to give it meaning. Ben Harper should stick to his dreary Hendrix pastiches, and Gene's cover of "Town Called Malice" is a travesty. Why I bet they have never even heard a Motown record in their lives! The good stuff includes Buffalo Tom's slowed down romp through "Going Underground", and Noel's acoustic kereoke of "To Be Someone", which gives a true sense to the burnout behind the lyrics. Even Weller sounds tired on the hidden track. File under for completists only.
