Notes [by KGS]: A solid collection, even though I own most of the songs featured. I've always imagined what a heavy-metal version of "Sound of Silence" would be like, and although Heir Apparent's version isn't as heavy as I imagined, it works quite well. Lefay's contribution is the *best* ABBA cover I've heard to date. The only real stinkers are Leatherwolf (thank GOD I hate that band, considering how much their CDs are worth!) and Deliverance -- thankfully, Ralf was kind enough to put them at the end, so hitting fast-forward is no problem...
