yeah, forget all the knee-jerk "indie bros pitchfork oh no etc etc" reactions, this is actually pretty good. Never been a huge Rosebuds fan, but there's so much obvious affection for the source material here, and all these covers feel really considered.

i mean there are so many other things i can do that will probably be more interesting / rewarding than put on the rosebuds' cover of love deluxe by sade, one of which is put on love deluxe by sade.

I mean, nobody is making any pretenses of this being better than the original, and I don't expect to get more than a few spins out of it. But by the inherently inessential standards of a cover album, this is fairly inspired. Also it's a nice reminder of how great the original is (and a prompt for me to listen to the original today), so there are worse things

well, this started out well and I think they do a good job with No Ordinary Love but then... they give teh same treatment to every single song and regularly seem to struggle to stay in tune, like on on my faves "Like a Tattoo". Too bad

This is one of those very rare specimens in nature called A PERFECT ALBUM.

also be interested to re-poll this, as "cherish the day" got robbed. doesn't matter where i am, what i'm doing or how many times i hear it, that song gives me chills.
