20. Various Artists / A Call To Irons : A Tribute To Iron Maiden. 1998. 1/5.

When I originally saw this in Utopia, I was very excited. It was the first tribute album I had seen for Iron Maiden. I knew only a couple of the bands on it, and not very well, so I was looking forward to it.
Major disappointment.
This album really makes you appreciate how good the original band is, and how special Bruce Dickinson's vocals are. I realise this is a death/doom/gloom metal tribute, and I don't listen to much of these type of bands, but this was still desperately disappointing.
There are a couple of decent versions on the album. But mostly it is awful. $32 I will never get back.

Rating : Well, it was truly fortunate to get this much. 1/5
