let's talk covers

Posted about 4 years ago
very rarely do i like covers better than originals. kinda like how movies are rarely better than the books they're based on. or remakes are never as good. or sequels for that matter. anyway, not to get off topic. i've been struggling with the ataris remake of boys of summer by don henley. there's just something so haunting about henley's version that somehow gets lost in the ataris cover. but at the same time, i like how they made it slightly heavier and faster. it adds a kind of desperation to it. you tell me.

  1. etothemcg says The Ataris - Boys of Summer it's easier to compare by just listening to instead of actually watching the video. it distracts me. maybe i just have ADD.

  2. ZZTodd says i'm not a fan of the ataris cover. to me it just seems hastily done, like the producer just threw at them to do at the last minute so that they'd have a single. i can see it's appeal, though.
