What?

I stumbled upon this in my travels, and let me tell you, it is horrendous. I was worried when I saw "Covers", but the "Mix" titling gave me a bit of hope which was quickly dashed. The only mildly good version is the Got Glint cover, and even that's just a terrible MIDI version of the original. I ADVISE YOU LISTEN TO NO MORE THAN THE 30-SECOND DEMO OR YOU MAY SUCCUMB TO COVER SYNDROME, WHICH CAN ONLY BE CURED BY A COMBINATION OF BEATS AND SALMON.

Oh yes, this thing...

I got this as a promo when I used to work at Tower. I laughed out loud at the substitute Hey Boy Hey Girl vocal (sort of sounded like the person saying it had a gun to their head). Being an optimist I gave it a chance. I got through the whole thing once, then shelved it. Actually, this cd still sits on my shelf, getting buried in the dusts of time. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, but sadly this tribute is to be avoided at all costs.

Thanks for the warnings though I probably never would have stumbled across those, thank goodness.

Oh GOD the substitute for Richard Ashcroft is TERRIBLE! It's like a bad lounge act. I almost expected him in the middle of singing "is it sweet and pure and true" to stop and say, "Hey! How's your steak?"

And, the same for Hey Boy Hey Girl, too.

I actually went through and sampled all the songs, and some of them I was like, "Oh yeah, this isn't bad." And then I remembered, "Oh, right, that's because The Chemical Brothers made it."

Pure shite.

I saw that on iTunes a while back and I had a very nice laugh

In my opinion, the prize for worst cover is a tie between Hoops (it sounds like the guy who made it asked a friend from his Shop Class to do the vocals), and the nauseating version of Denmark. Seriously, it made me a bit queasy.

Hmm, I heard of this album before but never listened to it. Thanks Champ for sacrificing your own ears for us and avoiding this mix that's probably damper than a pamper.

No problem. Anything for the sake of the integrity of their music.

BTW, they even got the name of One Too Many Mornings wrong. Lord knows how they came up with "Where We Belong".

Saw it for $3.99 at Amoeba! Instead I got some 'Dollar Menu' items @ Mcdonalds.

I bought it for $15 a few years ago. Kinda don't mind the star guitar track.
