10:01 pm - Let's revisit the Nightmare...

Hey yo, sup. So via my new music downloadin' thingy, I can finally download all sorts of songs I want.

Well, I already own Korn's cover of Kidnap the Sandy Claws, and figure to try out everyone else!

Only could get two others, but I digress. My opinions;

Marilyn Manson covers This is Halloween; Wasn't really anything special. A confused slur of guitars with his voice sounding like it's on the verge of puberty for a young youth. I would've liked to have seen a big more of effort placed into the song, like, y'know, various guitar rifts during the singing, changing your voice to meet the refrain, shit like that. Give it a five outta ten.

Korn covers Kidnap the Sandy Claws; You can defintely tell that the band had fun recording this. John Davis sings with the various voices (albeit they do sound kind of alike since he can only stretch his voice so far) to match the imps, and the guitars are doing all sorts of different fun things. I love hearing this one over and over. Ten out of ten.

Fallout Boy covers What's This; I know I shouldn't really compare the cover to the original, but I just have to. Patrick Stump has a nice voice, but he almost sounds bored singing one of the best songs of Nightmare. (especially since I've been listening to Dance Dance nonstop for, oh, a half hour now) The guitars don't provide anything special to the song, but the piano is a nice touch. Seven out of ten.

I wanna buy the CD now, not only to support the awesome artists who put their time and effort into it, but also to listen to it in me car. ^_____^

Oh, also, the Green Mango in Monroeville has some funky tasing Pa Nang, but an AWEOSME Manga Cucumber salad. I am eatings that next time I go. Any takers?
