I am somewhat intrigued to listen to this even though i know it will be horrible.

Some of them will clearly be terrible (Avenged Sevenfold doing Walk), but there's nothing at all wrong with Evile, ZW, Throwdown, Machine Head, Biohazard... even FFDP, Chimaira and Sylosis have the potential to sound good with songs like these.

Not FFDP, it will suck, like everything else they've done.

I guarantee you Throwdown will sound the exact same as the original.

Disagree.

Perhaps. But let's be honest, half of them will.

I'll be completely honest - the only cover on there that interests me is Kiuas.

There's probably no band that I like that I'm less interested in hearing covers of. They've spawned enough awful imitators; this is extremely unnecessary.

I'd much rather this and the usual pointless magazine cover CDs (a redundant idea in their traditional form).

It probaly wont suck a Pantera cover fits FFDP well.

I can't help but think Lamb of God were approached for this and turned it down because they're already fed up with the comparisons.
