In the jazz world, tribute albums are inescapable. Every week, jazz artists are recording tributes to Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Cole Porter, or someone else they admire. But in rock, they aren't as plentiful -- for every Bob Dylan, Doors, or Rolling Stones tribute that gets recorded, there are a lot more Ellington or George Gershwin tributes coming from the jazz world. One of rock's more tribute-minded labels is Cleopatra, which has paid homage to countless rockers. As a rule, Cleopatra's tribute albums are interesting -- and this 2002 release (which finds 12 different artists providing Tool covers) is no exception. Even if A Tribute to Tool is mildly uneven; it has more ups than downs and offers a lot of intriguing takes on the headbangers' songs. The best covers are the ones that bring something new or different to a familiar song; operating on that premise, the artists on this CD acknowledge Tool on their own terms instead of slavishly emulating the band. While Tool's forte is alternative metal, A Tribute to Tool is full of industrial, darkwave, and goth rock interpretations of its songs. Not everything on the CD works, but most of the time, A Tribute to Tool hits its mark. Mists of Avalon successfully gives "Prison Sex" a goth makeover, while an industrial outlook works well for Translation Collapse on "Reflection," Beauty on "Disgustipated," and Razed in Black on "Part of Me." One of the best tracks is the Electric Hellfire Club's "Opiate" makeover; Hellfire's campy, over-the-top sense of fun is quite a contrast to Tool's artsy leanings. Do those with only a casual interest in Tool need to hear 12 Tool covers? Probably not. But Tool's hardcore fans will find this CD meaningful if they also have an appetite for industrial, darkwave, and goth rock. ~ Alex Henderson

1 star F*** all these NIN wannabes
If you like TOOL, you'll HATE this album. Imagine amateur industrial bands trying to do TOOL. Micheal Bolton couldn't have screwed up the tunes worse. Some songs come through well, only because they were written by Maynard and Adam. Overall, it's pure crap. Don't waste your cash!

3 stars Its not that bad there are a few good songs on here
They can never be TOOL, a tribute in my opinion is to hear how other bands play tools music and how differently the message, mood what have you comes across. theyre are some crappy songs on here but my suggestion to allthose people who complain about tributes, if you dont know any of the bands that are doing the covers dont buy it. or if you arent willing to listen to alternative styles of the music being covered. I dont think in any tribute they are attempting to sound like the bad they are covering, wouldnt make sense to copy them exactly would it?

1 star ***A sad day for TOOL fans***
This is quite possibly the worst album I have ever heared. i'm sad that I had to give this album even one star. All it is is crappy bands you've never heared of comepletely and utterly slughtering the greatest band in world's songs. I had no idea it was possible to make these amazing songs sound soooo bad. I threw this album up against the wall. and i've never done that. it's impossible to re-sell and no true TOOL fan would ever let anyone else listen to this album... EVER!!!!! A complete and utter waste of money!! JUST SAY NO!!!

3 stars Not Bad, Diffrent Sounds
I like some of the songs on the album. It's not bad at all. I mean, yeah they're bands that sux on the album but then again, the mixes are pretty good. If you are looking for new bands to listen to, this might be a good album.
