this is much better than the original because this is much more likely for a person to feel like if stranded on an island, and not that cheery jumpy police version xD that being said, all you people thinking "cover can never be better" are wrong...
im sure machine head are awesome, maybe one of the best i dont know, within the metal genre, but how can this be better than the original? The police were extremly innovitive, they were one of the first to fuse rock and reggae in the way they did. machine head are just another heavy metal band, and who have covered a police song by introducing lots of fast drums, distortion and making it heavy. Better than the original my arse.
@chillbreeder93 well, machine head are extremly innovative, too, one of the first bands combining hard parts with soft and clear singing. well, i like the original version pretty much too, but i like this one more. you can't say the original is better than this, as well as i can't say this is better than the original. it's just a matter of taste. some like the police more, some this.
@TheMovieClassics I'm not getting in on the whol "Police vs. Machine Head" discussion, but. You're saying that Machine Head were one of the first bands to combine soft vocals, with heavy parts? The band was formed in 1992, which is two years after Cowboys from Hell, and ten years after Ride the Lightning, and another 20 years after the Doom Metal pioneers.
Theres not many covers where i think the new one is as good as the original (unless the original is a bob dylan track) but GOD DAM this has got to be close to being better than the original. The drumming in this is AMAZING!!!!
Great Song...give a damn where it came from yeah,if you do not like it,get the fuck out,if ya like it Props to you,but if not,be negative somewhere else yeah???
There are many more than two parts to the human brain. A lobotomy is a procedure which severs the nerve fibres that connect the thalamus to the section of the brain that is to be lobotomised - usually this is the pre-frontal lobes or the frontal lobes. This procedure is only very rarely used now, for extreme instances of mental illness.
@psychozo thx but i know that there are many more parts to the brain than two. i meant the two hemispheres. i didnt want to make it as basic as possible, but thx for being a smartie ;D

@lynchthetrolls34 And you do not sound at all like an idiot. I don't know which parts of car engine are what, but that does not make me an idiot. It is merely a symptom of the fact that I have learned nothing of car engines :)
Took a lot of balls to cover this song.. so props to Machine Head for pulling it off.. this album was hated on pretty heavily and I think it's pretty dope that they rebounded so well with Through The Ashes of Empires.
thank you so much for posting! This has been one of my favorites for years but I didn't which band covered it. I lost my player and this song... now it's back!
Thank you so much! Best version of the song ever!
This is one of those songs where I love the original and the cover just as much each other. The original is more more melancholy and wistful, but this one carries more frustration and desperation. They each say such unique and vibrant things with this song.
Great cover that song with machine head get a kick in da head :D very good cover but that don't mean that The Police is bad but the hardversion in pogo will be a killer muahaha :D
