I had responded to someone else who had mentioned this cover but I think it deserves its own thread :P.

Yes, we all hate covers sometimes especially when you think they're trying to be "just like" the original. But I think this one is rrreeealllly good, even if (as the other person said (sorrry, can't remember who it was) they shortened it)! There's something about the lead singer's voice that's similarly mesmerizing. Not to mention that it's recorded in someone's house!

And their original material, while not in the same genre as LP, is pretty stinking good for a band that kicks covers on youtube.

Check out the cover:

Thoughts?

could be so much worse. Their covers are good compared to the horrible efforts some people have made. Very good actually.

I think it's cool. At least, they don't try to imitate the song but have their own interpretation.

Yeah I watched this video before and I kinda like it. Itīs not crappy like the other covers, at least this one had efforts from the group to do a good interpretation. I like it and I think the singer has a nice voice ^^

It's not like Chester, but fairly good attempt in covering the song.
