This is alright, but no one on earth can capture the true essence of Robert's voice (though I do realise that is not the point of a cover) ... The Cure originals will ALWAYS be my favourite.
Okay for the record, the best cover is Devo's Satisfaction, an awesome interpretation, this is great except for the guitar, which has lost all the beauty of the original melody. Except at the end.
I love The Cure, and any time anyone pays homage to them, I'm proud that The Cure is still loved and adored by so many. I love covers, and this is a good one.
sorry imo the singer from "the cure" doesnt sing this as well as ok go. Of course all credit for the song itself goes to them for coming up w such an awesome song, but singing here is better.
Dude this cover is good. Original will always be better, but it's still good. This was done for NME magazine, I have the free CD which came with it. It's got some pretty good covers on there. =]
I've always been a fan of the cure and I love the original, but I do like what ok go has brought to the table for us with this great cover. I enjoy both versions.
While the original is totally 100000000 times better than this, I love this version because it gives people who have shit hearing like myself a chance to hear the bass properly =D
This is missing swinging, lollipoppy singing and piano of the original. It's missing Robert Smith's screeching meow, his hiss, his voice where you can just hear his smile. It's missing the jumpy background vocals.
It's missing everything that makes "The Lovecats" such a great song.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow! i never thought somebody would murder the song like they did!.....this shit sucks......this band should stick to whatever music they play and live alone such great songs like the lovecats from tricky and constanza.......sorry
It's a shame - the lead sounds like he's trying to hard to sound like The Cure - so it's sounds like an amateur cover. It goes slow in the wrong places, too.
Vindication9308, YOU'RE A FUCKING MORON- if you like ok go so much don't be such a stupid cunt- they obviously like and respect the cure if they copied their song
ok, ok, ok, i listened to it a few more times. i do agree with... captainpiccard, the piano made it. and Ebility the guitar... yeah. + the fact that vocals were i don't know.
It hasn't the lunacy of the original, but still good
