Fat Wreck Chords Presents Land Of The Rising Floyd is a unique tribute album that showcases the music of Pink Floyd through a punk rock lens. The album features covers of some of Pink Floyd's most iconic songs performed by various artists from the Fat Wreck Chords label.
The album opens with "In the Flesh?" performed by Strung Out, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's fast-paced, aggressive style gives the song a new energy, while still staying true to the original. Other standout tracks include "Another Brick in the Wall" by Good Riddance and "Wish You Were Here" by Lagwagon.
While some of the covers may not appeal to die-hard Pink Floyd fans, the album as a whole is a refreshing take on the band's music. The artists on the album do an excellent job of putting their own spin on the songs, while still paying tribute to the original versions.
