drum track is pretty cheesy... not so sure about the vocals either.

actually, come to think of it, the sound in general kinda reminds me of early 90s dance-pop, a la Color Me Bad or Milli Vanilli. (not a compliment, btw, if you had to ask)

Yeah, the drum track is gonna make me wander over to the listener review channel.

Interesting...just how is a complaint any more "pointless" than praise? Both are valid opinions and feedback on the music here. It makes no sense to post only positive thoughts on the music...that's not feedback, just sycophantic.

Finally, the poison pill wasn't for me, it was for the song, which at a 4.4 seems justified. Still a miserable song.

I have this album. I heard the couple that is Snakefarm on NPR back in '99 and bought the CD. I like the alternative phrasings and rhythms they came up with with for all the old standards on it. I get a kick our of putting it on at a party or the bar and seeing if anyone catches the tunes.

I thought it was Madonna singing as well, until I realized this singer was better than M. Love the groove!

This is a good song from a great album. If you think you might like traditional folk ballads with an updated trip-hop twist, then I wholeheartedly recommend this band. The old lyrics are dark and familiar, and the new sound is cool and unique.
