Another good find from the gecko! Thanks for posting.
I liked the Foals first album, and a lot of my mates love em. I am quite surprised they want to cover Pearl Jam - but I think it's pretty good that they want to.
As for the version itself - my reaction was mixed - at some points I was moved by it, at some points I cringed. I can predict though that the majority of people here are gonna hate it!!

Thanks, I thought it was a nice gesture, tho I was giggling most of the time. Nice guitars.

Yeah I liked the gesture more than I did the performance I have to say! I always like it when a current band tips a hat to PJ.

Perhaps we're being a bit harsh... they are quite young. Maybe when these foals grow in to big horses they might be decent.

I wanted to like it, as I like a bunch of Foals' stuff, but just couldn't.

I tried to be open-minded and like it, but I thought that band was terrible. I've had dry heaves that sounded prettier than that singer's voice, and I've seen more impressive guitar solos from the animatronic band at Chuck E. Cheese's.
Immortality is such a great song, and if you're going to cover it, you really have to bring it. Sounded to me like they just threw together a cover of a song by a Seattle band because they were going on a Seattle radio station.

I had no idea who these guys were before I clicked on the link so I had no pre-conceived notions about the song but I couldn't even get through 45 seconds of it. His voice is terrible and the the couldn't even get the basic guitar tuning right.

All you critics forgot to post your cover of immortality.
Really...guitar tuning is just not right? Voice isn't pretty enough? Maybe the next American Idol will have a version that will better suit your taste.

And yes I still didn't care for that version, and yes I did like Seethers Cover!

So in order to be critical of something you have to submit a product of equal or greater value? I guess I can't criticize the President anymore, because I don't have my own administration to use as a measuring stick, and before I complain at a restaurant I need to go home and properly make the dish myself before I voice my displeasure. There's nothing wrong with not liking it, it's a matter of taste, and I thought this version of Immortality tasted like shit.

Yeh I agree here.... Have you ever seen a movie that you haven't liked??? I didn't like Harry Potter. Doesn't mean I am going to make my own version of a Harry Potter movie before I can judge something that I like or don't.
I hear that new Toyota is shit... I better build my own factory,design and build my own car then I can decide just how good or bad the Toyota is.

No need to play dumb or act like there's an absolute rule to open criticism.
These guys clearly weren't preforming this song in hopes that it was going to get judged by the masses. They were in Seattle doing an acoustic show and wanted to pay a little homage, and that's it.
I wasn't a fan of it, but I'm not going to knock them down for what they did.
ouch...c'mon?!...who's gonna sit back & say that sounded good??....a Foals fan?...(OK...Foal Fans get a pass)...sorry, just not my taste...more power to'em though!

bwahaha who are the foals? His voice definitely puts a morbid spin on it... but that morbid feel comes from just having to listen to it...
Although.... it's singers like these that make me think I can sing

I liked it. Better than another fakely angst hack band covering it. The singers voice was rather soothing.
