HHAAHHA God I hate this band! And here is a great review on the new and well not new just a cover album...Very inventive of these guys i think.
"Are these guys for real? Im actually tempted to stop with this review right now such is my disgust at SFUs blatant attention grabbing exercise with Graveyard Classics II. This is all too painful.
Not content with contaminating the listening world with some horrendous cover versions on GYC I, Chris Barnes and his cronies thought it would be a good laugh to continue the exercise. But wait rather than pick another selection of old individual classic, theyve decided to record in its entirety, AC/DCs Back in Black. Yep, Hells Bells through to Noise Pollution, SFU run through the whole 1980 classic in their own fucked up style. You think theyre going to catch some hell for this? Darn right they are!!
In my mind, there is no question that Chris Barnes knows exactly what he is doing with GYC II. He knows hell cop the wrath of 99% of the metal media for this exercise in stupidity, but true to form, Barnes doesnt give a toss. He thinks its all a bit of a laugh. Hed ask us not to take it all so seriously, lighten up and listen to GYC II for what it is four guys doing death metal versions of one of the all time classic heavy rock albums. At a stretch I can tolerate that. The thing I cant fathom is the absolute arrogance SFU display in attempting this stunt (and thats all it is, a stunt!) in the first place. Sure, a cover version tacked on the end of an original album is great for novelty value, but a whole version of ONE album? Moreover, not only asking their Metal Blade to financially back them on it, but also asking their fan base to fork out their hard earned further escalates the superciliousness of the scheme.
If youve never rated cover versions anything more than novelty value, GYC II wont endear you any further. SFU are a bog standard, lowest common denominator death metal band quite why they believe in their ability to pull off hard rock cover versions is beyond me. GYC 1 should have been the end of their little experiment. It wasnt done well then, and it certainly hasnt improved on GYC II. Furthermore, quite why anyone would actually BUY this disc in favor of actually pulling out the original copy of Back in Black (cos everyones got it) is another perplexing question that has me quivering in fear.
GYC II is thoroughly pointless. It serves absolutely no purpose other than to amuse the band themselves. They have trashed one of the all time classic metal albums from start to finish on this disc basically for their own enjoyment. Its dull and lifeless, displaying none of the energy and vigor of the original album. Whats more, with Barnes out front it is vocally desecrated. GYC II is a joke gone too far, a tasteless exercise in sheer arrogance and self-importance. SFU may hold AC/DC in high regard, but it has done nothing for their reputation. If they ever had one, it is now in absolute tatters. Shocking!
PS: Having read this, please do everything you can to hear some of this album. You need to know how bad it actually is. BUT PLEASE, DO NOT PAY A CENT IN THE PROCESS!!
