love this , man i miss the old U2 they were so adventurous now there music seems so complacent. The last 3 albums were so uninspired aim sorry ATYLB was the last good u2 album. now they just sound like a board boring dinosaur band that needs to stop making records.
It´s still weird to hear Trent sing ´´I'm ready to say
I'm glad to be alive´´ instead of something like ´´after everything i've done I hate myself for what i've become´´. The man has definitely changed his perception over the years.
interesting cover version. I've added it to my FB group dedicated to covers. It's called "The Guilty Pleasure of the Cover Version" feel free to join.
@michalusOG its 2011,(Ǎhk-to͝ong Bay-bi) Covered, is a tribute album by various artists featuring cover versions of the 12 songs from U2's 1991 record Achtung Baby.....
This is incredible! I love the original for its rough, rugged urban sound, but these guys managed to retain the urban sound, but in a totally different kind of way... A more sleek, ambient, kind of sound. True genius. Gives me chills.
@thedarkseldarine um........ really???? you really think and believe that hurt was originally written and performed by johnny cash??????????? REALLY???? well, for your info you half wit, JOHNNY CASH COVERED A NINE INCH NAILS SONG. jesus christ. your not even worthy of posting your uneducated opinion of a nine inch nails cover. how do you even know this cover exists? you should keep your opinions to yourself, because they are clearly unresearched and just completely wrong. jesus fuckin christ
@FrankieNapster u don't even know what number is that, stop being an asshole and if u don't like this get the fuck out of here, this is a COVER junior not a fucking contest
It's a lot more soothing than anything he's done for a while. Don't like it as much as his cover of "Dead Souls" but it's still a great take on one of U2's best songs :D
Wow, disappointing. I can't believe I actually prefer the original U2 version over this, I'm a huge NIN fan. And I'm not a U2 fan, in fact I kinda hate them sometimes, but this is the only U2 album I own, and Zoo Station is one in the handful of songs by U2 I really enjoy.
This was fucking entertaining. It put me in a good place. It also left me with that feeling a used to love getting after listening to new NIN material. I missed that.
@DDevilized I dont think that it will happen for a very long time. I am pained I missed the chance to see him twice, saying next time...I dont say no to concerts anymore.
@DDevilized Haven't you heard? Trent hung it up. He said he isn't done making music necessarily, btu the entity Nine Inch Nails is done. I'd pass you a kleenex, but I still need what's left in the box.
You can say what you want about whether drugged up Trent was better or clean Trent is better. All I'm going to say is that this cover is a reason why I am a NIN fan. He makes a great rock balad sound chilling and almost relaxing and turns it on it's head completely. Fair play Trent!
Hmm, it's good, but not the best. I would associate it more with recent Trent's OST works, e.g. TSN OST. I think it's quite different from NIN's works. I think it's also somewhat simmilar to SONOIO's Silence song (I mean the background of the verse). Well, it's positive, fresh, less NINish, but we all know - Trent isn't younger - and thus his vox along with his music changes...can't wait for the new HTDA...I wonder if it will also be more ambient/electro...??
@A0Candle0In0The0Dark How To Destroy Angels, a new Reznor's band, They have one single "a Drowning" and one EP "How To Destroy Angels" - his wife is on vocals. I think it's a good band with a very fresh sound and very good electronics. The Space in Between, BBB (Big Black Boobs :p) and a Drowning are really good :) Their song The Believers is also on the Limitless OST from the movie Limitless.
@mariodark000 oh really ? :D haha seriously, she has a lame pronounciation and most of the ppl joke it's big black boobs not boots :) But U have to have a little sense of humour :]
I dunno. For me, NIN has been pretty underwhelming in the past half decade or so (nothing particularly great or awful) and this isn't changing anything. It's not a bad cover, I guess - I just long for the days when I heard new music from Trent and would get goosebumps just before shitting myself with amazement.
Sometimes I wonder if I was more infatuated with the angst and theatrics than the music itself. Or maybe I'm just older now? Either way, this is decent but I doubt I'll listen again.
After everyone's complaining, I'm actually rather surprised, I don't mind it at all, it's rather soothing. And I'm a man who loves his drugged-up Reznor as much as any other pre-With Teeth NIN fan.
It's growing on me. Honestly I was expecting something that holds back on percussion and starts with dry synthetics and ends with me being throttled on the floor through my ears. But yet again, Reznor takes me out of the alpha, and makes me chase the plot of this cover. Brilliant.
Ok, is it just me, but I was excited about this tribute album. But as a fan of Depeche Mode and NIN, this is just plain. Trent and Martin Gore are like wizards in the studio. What happen????????
It was far too obvious for Trent to produce a rock version of this cover, especially considering the fact that Flood himself produced the original track on Achtung Baby. I'm very happy with the way this was handled; Trent gives us a humble rendition, marking both his maturity and masterful restraint. He doesn't need to be the center of attention... it IS a U2 cover album, after all. It's a beautiful bed of sound, and pure electronic euphoria. Tastefully done!
Nice basic sound pallete that I dug for the first 3 minutes, but it never takes off after that. Too bad (one suspects that there's a 'rocks out' version that might see the light of day sometime).
