From the team that brought you "We Wish You A Metal Xmas" comes "SIN-atra", heavy metal's tribute to the genius of Frank Sinatra. Twelve songs made famous by Ol' Blue Eyes are given a radical and individual new treatment from some of the finest voices in rock including members of ANTHRAX, TWISTED SISTER, DEEP PURPLE, QUEENSRŸCHE, MR. BIG, WARRANT, NONPOINT, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, KING'S X and CHEAP TRICK with the backing of a superb band led by guitarist Bob Kulick (KISS, MEAT LOAF). The songs are known to everyone but you've never heard them quite like this before!

02. I've Got You Under My Skin (Glenn Hughes)

The "SIN-atra" house band features Bob Kulick (guitar); Brett Chassen (drums); Billy Sheehan (bass); Doug Katsaros (keyboards, orchestrations); Richie Kotzen (lead guitar on "That's Life").

"SIN-atra" will be in stores March 29 via Eagle Rock Entertainment.

OH lord....I know I'll have to listen to this...but not now...

I still haven't recovered from Pat Boone covering Ozzy!

Great, more bidibbii-bidibbi-bidibbi-bidibbi out of Bruce Kulick! Robin Zander?!! And, I may be the odd man out for this, but, I am still having difficulty considering Dee Snider a singer. An exciting front man and assumedly cool guy, but, singer of Sinatra? A singer?! No Jeff Scott Soto, Mark Boales, or David Lee Roth??? Pffft Whatever happened to that fxxxer from the Cult, anyway?! He probably has the Sinatra swagger more than anyone named - er - had . . .

have you listened to the track Fret? It's AWESOME (It's Bob Kulick btw)!

I tried to listen to the tracks, Pete, but, neither of them are available. Sorry for the name mix-up. I don't know about you, but, I feel better.

Sorry fella. Link should work now.

Bit of a rip-off of Zeppelin's Kashmir, ain't it !!

I noticed that as well...cool tune though.

I gave it a listen but I got such a nasty headache right now so I will have to check it out later...

Awww sorry Marty...hope you feel better soon.

Quote :

There are only so many hours in each day/week, so when reviewing albums I generally stick to the better known names and artists or the classy debut albums. So for the most part you are seeing higher scoring reviews because I'm reviewing the higher quality albums relevant to this scene, as compared to some of the indie releases out there.
But occasionally you get a high profile title that comes along that just doesn't make the grade. It proves that not everything is gold or worth checking out. I don't like being negative, but when something this bad is released – it needs to get called as such.
Sin-Atra should immediately be recalled from an unsuspecting pubic or at least renamed Shit-Atra. Yes, this is pure dung of the highest quality.
If the worst album you can think of was merely a turd, then this album would be a month old diamond crusted regurgitated cow pat, digested by dung beetles and then shat back onto the earth to rot into organic fertilizer in the hope something better might grow from it.
This isn't your average good fun tribute album. It's a bunch of “great” Frank Sinatra songs well and truly metallized and then screamed over by a collection of vocalists that should know better.
For the most part, everyone sounds horrible here, screaming over the top of an aggressive heavy metal audio assault.
Glenn Hughes and Eric Martin come out as the best vocalists involved, but musically even their tracks lack any lasting merit. How anyone could even contemplate playing this twice is beyond me. Most won't even get past online audio samples.
It is truly awful. How many metal fans like Frank Sinatara? Surely there was a better option at hand than this? What exactly was Bob Kulick smoking when contemplating his next tribute project? I'm surprised Lemmy isn't on here…the rest of the usual suspects are – Jani Lane, Ripper Owens, Geoff Tate, Dug Pinnick, Joey Belladonna and Dee Snider. Even the great Robin Zander is left to scream his way through the musical abomination that is Fly Me To The Moon.
Hideous. Woeful. Ill-considered. Misguided. Just plain wrong.

Maybe I'll pass on this now...

I can't believe you thought it was a good idea in the first place !!
