really wasnt impressed to begin with but after giving it another shot... it seems they really put together a very good cover of darkside and truly put their signature on it. really love time and any colour you like. its going to raise hell when i see this performed live at bonnaroo. two months away!!

    It's weird and has grown on me, but I think it shows signs of potential and falls short of what could have been. With the addition of the extra band, it just sounds like a clusterfuck that they're trying to take in different directions with way too much going on and no clear vision of how they wanted to recreate the album.

    I'll be seeing them do it at Bonnaroo, so we'll see how it translates there.

    Wish I was seeing this at Bonnaroo.

    I'm with you folks, didn't like it to begin with and now I'm playing it more. They are just paying tribute and putting their own quirky little spin on things. People are making too much out of the whole "Untouchable" angle. So what? These things happen.

    I got it on iTunes a few months ago, it should still be up there. Initially they did it as an iTunes exclusive, but it will be on CD and LP for independent record store day next week.

    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    It's pretty bad. They shoulda took it in a Soft Bulletin/Yoshimi direction.

    Their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody is nicely done and more in the vein of somethin that would actually sound worth a crap.

    it's not that bad. def give them props for having the balls to try this. this sounds much better then them covering the who.
