@5anjii amen.. too bad albini's initial album title for big black didn't go through. people feared the irony would be lost... and it did, in that case too.

The only thing that could beat this is a lounge version.

this shit rocks

I love it. The irony is so thick I can taste it. An acoustic version of Prayer to God? Doesn't anyone else find this comical?

Having the gaul to even ATTEMPT such a cover is admirable.

Albini said that pissing off rednecks is easy and that he takes specific glee in offending hipsters...I think this cover has that same spirit. So if you don't like it that's your business but if you think that this song is somehow 'sacred' and should never be covered then you probably don't get either band
