Comment:

I'm a certified cover-phile. I can't get enough of another band's take on an original. I broke my ususal rule about not repeating bands on a mix CD with E.T., but they do good covers and since it's a themed CD I figured it's okay.

I also love the way it sometimes does put very very different spins on the songs, Hurt is the best example. Also, with the Tourniquet song by Soul Embraced and covered by Evanescence it's interesting to note that Rocky Gray plays in both outfits. Comedy comes in to play with the monks covering Losing My Religion. And if the Stones had formed in this decade as opposed to the 60's I'm sure Paint it Black would sound much more like Agony Scene's take on it.

Check it out.

I like the covers by the Atari's & the acoustic Lemonheads. Haven't heard some of these others thought. I have a couple of covers mixes as well, & yah, it is interesting how the covers can give the original a different spin.
