I was going to make a paedophilic joke about Lostprophets, but I'm bigger than that. :/

This is pretty much what you want in a cover. It's a great interpretation that integrates this particular band's style. I like it.

1st LESSON: when a cover sounds just like the original song it aint a cover its plagiarism. 2nd LESSON: this is a nice cover. 3rd LESSON: nothing more.

Jesus, listen to all you jaded Cure fans. I've heard both and I have to say that in my opinion this one is better than the original and the drumming at the end definitely adds a much needed refreshment from the original one. The "Fans" never appreciate the covers, I love the cover they did of Alec Eiffel and I LOVE the Pixies, much more than the "Godlike Genius" of the Cure.

They dress up as emo kids, that is lame. The Cure made this song great. I like both. The first one is very nice... The cover by this band is really great(with the right settings on the equalizer), more fast paced and fun.

... it (at least) made me realize what I love about this song :) (not bad, but I miss Robert Smith's affected voice :))

@pcmarques81 The Get Up Kids are the probably more 'emo' than the Cure. Although neither band really fits into that genre. So don't apologize to us. Apologize to yourself.
