Meestro, your first review is exactly what I initially thought about the cover. They pull it off very well, but being the Kimock fanatic I am, the lead guitarist MUST nail the signature riff of the tune because it really makes the first movement make sense. He is close but misses a few important notes and substitutes some off notes. Overall this is one of the best covers of IU2U I've heard.

Sorry I realize that last post comes off rather harsh, didn't intend for it to be. Great to hear someone pull off a Kimock tune!

The whole time I got the feeling the guitar player was an 80s rocker wanting to break out, and at the end he seems to get his wish with the stomp box distortion at a lower level than the clean. Great piano chops! You've got the Pete Sears thing down. Since the basis of the song, other than perhaps the driving bass & drums rhythm, is the main riff, it'd probably be wise to get the riff down (lead guitar guy). Other than that, job well done, and great production.
