Aug 27, 2010If I had a hi-fi, I would listen to the originals, Nada Surf's and everybody else's. When Tori Amos covers Slayer, makes "Raining Blood" her own and manages to be far more disturbing than the original - I see the point of the cover and tip my hat. When Nada Surf covers Spoon... I refuse to participate.

The group's poppy guitars and thick, layered vocal harmonies occasionally improve upon some selections of the vastly diverse material.

Q MagazineThey spent three weeks recording this eclectic set of covers ranging from The Moody Blues to Spoon, all delivered with the steel-trap tightness of a touring band. [Jun 2010, p.128]

Ultimately what places this covers album a notch higher than the rest is its unpretentiousness.
