Zoovenir is a Swedish import of (mostly) Scandanavian bands covering U2
songs. Most of it is *ok* -- certainly not earth-shattering. Unless you
are "completist" or are interested in hearing mediocre bands cover U2 tunes,
its probably not worth the cash IMHO. I was able to pick this up for $12 at
a used record store.
  
The bright spot of the disc is the Straitjackets' cover of "One" -- it is
*awesome* if for no other reason than it is hard-rocking version. For
anyone interested, I have uploaded an MP3 of this song for a limited time.
It's at:
