Marks out of ten for each track off the new Cable tribute album
Joey Swound!:
I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion on the song. I really like it, but obviously some of you dont. I expect most of you would feel the same about our version of Honolulu. I think its always going to be hard to please the diehard fans who visit this forum.
I think the worry of doing a radical version of a great song is that most people will probably hate it. In the end, the originals are all ace. It's very hard to know how to approach a challenge like this.
Whatever, I''ve been lucky enough to hear a few of the tunes and they all sound ace. Like Marc said, it's a good mix. I'm confident that it'll please most people. I personally can't wait to hear the full version.

Ahoy!
I'm probably being slow here, but where can I find Swound's cover of Honolulu? I wanna have a listen - it sounds interesting.
As for the In Flight Program cover, I think they've done a real good job of covering the song. Every single part is note perfect to the original. It is a shame that IFP didn't have a stab at trying to put their own twist on the song but I understand the legal implications, etc.

I totally agree with PlacidCasual, why would I bother listening to exact covers of Cable songs when I can just listen to the Cable songs themselves?
Credit to IFP though it was a very faithful reproduction of the original and I actually quite liked the vocals. The singer did a good job as Cable songs are hard to sing (well, they are when you're as talentless a singer as I am!).
I will say this though, the Ultra Violet cover better be good or I'll be upset! ;D
Thanks,

Our cover was made available for 0.1 seconds once. I think it's doing the rounds on the underground circuit with fans trading it left right and centre. No, I sent it to Damon cos I wanted his opinion and he makes me happy with the site. Others who have heard it probably have done so cos they are associated with the album in some way.
I don't really want anyone to hear it now as I'm scared of the panning it'll get. It's very close to the original, just a bit more energetic I guess with a few little quirks thrown in.
Believe it or not, Cable songs are very hard to sing. Matt could hit some amazingly high notes at times.
Damon:
Even after all this time Cable were a band that people either love or hate, people are very passionate and excited about the tribute album and understandably so. To be really honest I was initially disappointed when I heard about the album as i really wasn?t sure about some of the bands featuring on it, after hearing God Gave Me Gravity I was left wondering what other Cable songs have been ruined ? and then I heard the Honolulu cover and I started to feel better.
The truth is you can?t please everyone and no one is attacking anyone or any band by saying they don?t like the cover, when you play in a band (as myself and many others do on these boards) you put yourself in a position to be criticised but all we are doing here is saying what we think of the song and NOT the band.
I don?t see anything wrong with liking or not liking the songs and being honest about it, I still think that a straight cover is pointless and I for one would sooner listen to the original but is that opinion shared by everyone ?? NO, so please remember that no one is bad mouthing any bands here.
This is at the end of the day a Cable forum and that is the reason we are all here
