Encomium is a backwards a*s tribute to how good Zeppelin really was, and how bad some of these bands really are/were.
Anyways, as the tribute album became a popular mid 90s attraction, it was pretty obvious that Led Zeppelin would be one of the band's so 'honored' with a disc full of not ready for prime time bands doing their best to hone in on what made Zeppelin so great.
The best tribute albums are those that move from note for note covers to radical reinterpretations (see: The Ramones tribute disc).
