I've actually got this album - it's surprisingly good. I mean, sure, it's a cover album, but the songs are done in slightly different styles (Stayin' Alive is done in an AC/DC style, Jive Talkin' sounds very hair metal, You Should Be Dancin' is a bit Judas Priesty, Our Love is pure power ballad, Night Fever is a bit speed-metal-riffy, too Much Heaven is pure Led Zep Kasmir, etc etc) and that keeps it fresh. It's a gimmick thing - you won't be cracking this out for a daily listen - but it's a gimmick done very well.
Now, the new Electric Six album, on the other hand... That's a keeper right there. Really: it's a fucking brilliant rock album.
