A promised new album from the Fleshtones called Wheel of Talent, due in January 2014, brought me back to this 24-tune tribute project. Vindicated! was similar in theme to the Fuzztones tribute album from 2006, in that we’re treated to bands from around the World performing songs from the honored band’s beginnings to their recent albums.
