Just flawless. Every songs sounds and feel different from their original recordings so its whort listening if you already heard almost all the track on here. The covers are all excellent especially the Bowie cover and ''where did you sleep last nigth'' wich is a perfect closer in my opinion. Its a lot softer than Nirvana's normal sound so you could like it even you don't really like nirvana. R.I.P Kurt 10/10
Favorite: Where did you sleep last nigth, Something in the way, All apollogies [First added to this chart: 06/10/2025]

If ''Providence'' was as great as the other songs on this album it would be a 10/10. I like King Crimson free improv stuff but it kinda hurt the album when all the other track are awesome. This album is brilliant anyway especially "Starless" obviously. 9.7/10
Favorite: Starless, Fallen Angel, One More Red Nigthmare [First added to this chart: 08/14/2025]

Sadly this album has some big problem. Its long, the mix suck, and some track kinda drags. But this album also have a lot of very incredible moment like the solo on ''One'', the epic title track, the speed and agression of ''Dyers eve'', etc... 9.6/10
Favorite: One, Blackened, To live is to die [First added to this chart: 06/10/2025]
