CAN: ugly pop. up-001 / 9 tracks / 1998

+ info sheet.

Negative Approach covers by Dropdead (good version with poor sound), MITB (boring grunt/growl version), Spazz (hi speed version, OK), Kops for Christ (hmm, OK), Voorhees (good & aggressive, pretty close to the originals), Union of Uranus (short, fast, hard, good), Chokehold (grinding slow/mid tempo version, average), and Rupture (fast and tough, OK). Most of bands stick to the originals too closely, just trying to play them faster, tougher etc. which is a “negative approach” in many cases. Union of Uranus, Dropdead, Voorhees and Rupture are best. [6]  

Negative-Approach-Coverversionen von Dropdead (gute Version, aber extrem dumpfer Sound), MITB (langweilige Grunzversion, das Original ist vieeel besser), Spazz (Hochgeschwindigkeitsversion, OK), Kops for Christ (geht so), Voorhees (gut & aggressiv, ziemlich nah an den Originalen), Union of Uranus (sehr kurz, schnell und hart, gut), Chokehold (schleppend-schleifende Version des Klassikers, mittelmäßig) und Rupture (hart und schnell, OK). Kurz gesagt, fast alle Bands beschränken sich darauf, die Originale noch härter, schneller etc. nachzuspielen, was in vielen Fällen danebengeht. Am besten machen ihre Sache noch Union of Uranus, Rupture und Dropdead.

Tracks: Dropdead - whatever i do / Man is the Bastard - dead stop / Spazz - lost cause / Kops for Christ - why be something that you’re not // Voorhees - i’ll survive / tied down / Union of Uranus - pressure / Chokehold - nothing / Rupture - negative approach
