This is pretty good, but my favorite of theirs is the cover of Iron Maiden - Run to the Hills

I think the treatment of the song is ironic. Irony is totally awesome!!!!

This sort of thing works well in some cases (check out Nouvelle Vague - great versions of some classics inc. 'Love Will Tear Us Apart') but this particular song doesn't do it for me.
Where's the original when you really want to hear it - will have to go back to the shelves of CD's!

Face it: If this song were the "original", you'd gag on it, but it gets extra consideration because it's a unique treatment of an original. I, for one, never heard of the original but liked this immediately. I went back to hear the original and found it "interesting"—and enlightening of why I never heard of it! (I really like that Hellsongs put this out.) |

It's hard to believe I first fell in love with this song 40 years ago! This version was a complete (and pleasant) surprise!

yes...took me a while to realise that it was a cover....I still prefer the original, but completely different listening moods. |

I burned this whole CD and listened to it the other day - very impressive! Especially this song, "Blackened," "Symphony of Destruction," and "Seasons in the Abyss". Just like this cut, really makes you focus on the meaning of the lyrics. |

(Tori A tried and failed miserably with a similar take on Smells Like Teen Spirit.) I loved that Tori cover... wasn't Trent Reznor singing in the background? Doesn't really matter, it was great. This, on the other hand is good, but not great. Solid 6. |

Mildly on topic, but have you heard the Ahmet & Dweezil Zappa cover of "Baby, One More Time"? Never thought I'd enjoy - let alone adore - even a covered version of that song... On topic...wow, that's a download. |

yay. The first song you've played this morning that hasn't completely stank. I didn't even detract points for the vw van on the cover.

Excellent. Turns headbanger metal into a poignant cry for help.
