Yeah, honestly, probably the best Pumpkins cover I've heard. I know that's not saying much because I can't think of one I've ever enjoyed, but this is really pleasant.

I thought this was going to be about the Fruit Bat Salad live video compilation.

Fully echo this. A few friends kicked this my way since they see anything SP related and shared with me.

I'm not sure there's ever been a Pumpkins cover that I was like "yeah, I would consider listening to that again sometime". But this one, I would. Excited to hear the rest of the songs.

Think that weirdly enough, the only one is this random cover of Pale Scales that was posted here back in like 2000 that I still have the MP3 of. Here's a link to that action:

Think it's a bit premature for me to pull the trigger on getting this on vinyl, but thought I'd park this here:

But, if that Today is any inclination of how this whole thing goes, I probably wouldn't mind having this on vinyl to toss on.

No "band" can cover Monuments. It's impossible!

You know he does - his radar is going off whenever there is a "bearded hipster laptop rock" band covering his work. I am curious to hear what he thinks, though.

On the one hand, I love the idea of an exclusive sub-only vinyl club and like this cover. S'ok. Wann hear what they do with Geek and Silverfuck.

On the other hand, I hate the idea and refuse to drop $40 on an album.

Right. A covers album screams "drop it on bandcamp for pay-what-you-want". I know everything is bleak right now and everyone is financially hurting, but a covers album on a vinyl subscription doesn't really work.

The Fruit Bats cover album has finally been published on streaming services.

I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but so far it sounds like they put a lot of thought and care into the album. The style of the covers will probably be divisive here.

Edit:
It is also on bandcamp for $8.
