I love the original and this one. For different reasons, but if you have heard the Cities 97 sampler version of the Neon Trees doing the live acoustic version, they actually sound somewhat similar.
train singer looks like he's being forced to do this at gunpoint. he's got a great voice and makes it seem so easy but wtf is with the attitude? singers make weird faces all the time maybe this is just one of those
his voice is far better than the neon tree guy live (especially the high notes, they are so effortess. However he doesn't seem like hes enjoying / into the song at all like Neon Tree hence pple get this real douche vibe from him which is such a pity!
Yes I prefer the Trees version. and I love Train, not sure why they thought they had to do this, what to prove that is. A Bassline would of helped here...now how bout another hit song Train?
Not a great cover... not the worst cover I've ever heard by a long shot. "Animal" is just flat out a really cool song and I wouldn't fault anyone for wanting to try their hand at it. Nice nod to Neon Trees from a more established band and that can never be a bad thing. The main problem with this one is that Train just doesn't send out the same kind of energy as does Neon Trees, and this song needs that energy.
god i cant stand the man's voice, im trying every single time again, ok lets click a train video maybe this one is better then the one before but No, i really think his voice is extremely annoying and just not fitting for ANY song xD
I like this better than the original, not only cuz the guy from train has a better voice but he doesn't say fwends or afwaid, because that really gets on my nerves in the original :L
Yes, this isn't a flawless performance... but an awesome cover at the least. Regardless, has anyone watched Neon Trees covering their own song? Their own performances of it aren't flawless, either. :P
This is really good. You guys need to understand that, by doing a cover, they're not trying to sound better than the original, they just like the song enough to try and put their own original sound to it.
This is a great cover, wtf are all of you talking about?? People need to learn to like more than one type of music. Cover are not supposed to sound identical to the original.
I'm sure someone asked them to sing this song or something. Its not really their style. And of course the original is going to be better, but that doesn't mean that this is horrible. And for neon trees to be so ungrateful about train singing their song. Just saying....
@LeoLawliet you don't nothing about him your just being a stupid idiot wait you already are one if you don't have anything to say that's nice don't say nothing at all btw you actully ruined jerk
i think everyone's being really hard on them. i think they actually do a pretty good job here. not like OMG SO AMAZING. but not bad at all. i don't think neon trees was TOO rude on their reply to this, but it was a little ..ingrateful? i mean sure, they're great musicians and that's why train knows them, but i'd still be so psyched a famous band liked my work. i wouldn't criticize them even if it was terrible! just my opinion..
I love train, I spent a large time of my teens listening to their stuff. While he doesn't have the depth for this song, its an excellent cover. Train is a amazingly talented band and I feel all warm and fuzzy hearing them sing a song from neon trees. WTG Neon trees! :D
Everyone who is hating, I don't know if you've heard anythin by Train...., but they obviously sing more pop rock for a reason... Neon Trees and Train are both great bands, but Train has had more recognition (cuz they've been around longer), i'm sure Neon Trees is pretty flattered that a successful band such as Train has covered their single. It's obviously not going to be the best cover, but at least they are recognizing a great song.
@goofguy316 train is way better then neon trees, a band thats been around and making hits for a long time now...neon trees are going to disappear within the next 3 years tops
love train but he sounds weird singing this
