this is fucking awful,vocals sound like awful goth/industrial. Leave it as a powerpop song and leave it at that. The only band who covers this well is the biters
I wish this was on the vinyl version of SAF. I'm gonna have to buy the Model/Whore single separately. But I do get to see the guys dressed up as Kraftwerk and Cheap Trick.
Albini said: "The best was side one of 'Songs About Fucking'. I was real pleased with the way we did that. We just hopped into the studio, banged all the songs out and hopped out. Didn't take long, didn't cost much, just real smooth.

@TheFlimflamy Of course we know its a cover. I think its much better than the original, but its a simple matter of opinion. :)

All these modern "hardcore" bands need to take a listen to this song and take some notes.

I respect Albini but his music is mostly very boring

yeah like sabbath are real exciting
oiyabastard 2 years ago
Yeah I think they were. More exciting than the band "Heaven" you seem to like a lot (god they're awful).
I love how if you criticise Albini at all, all the indie wimps make accusations you must love Britney Spears/Def Leppord or whatever.
crieff405 2 years ago 3
you my friend, must have terrible taste in music then.

There is no better thing than to hear a musician or band do a take on a song that is completely out of their genre.
