Yup. Just like I assumed, this absolutely isn't for me. I only like a single artist that they picked. Toro y Moi is ok I guess.

Excited to hear Toro y Moi's cover, I guess. Don't really know the rest of the artists other than Paramore really. Well, I know The National, I just don't really like The National.

The Paramour cover is... serviceable.

I'll be there for BadBadNotGood, Toro Y Moi, and The Linda Lindas though.

there are so many picks that probably would have been cheaper than Lorde or Miley Cyrus that could have been interesting but nope... who is this made for?
I could've personally thrown darts at my bandcamp library and found the same amount of bands that would've done real interesting and fun talking heads covers instead of at least from Paramore is a serviceable karaoke cover.

Well, that was no Tom Jones and the Cardigans, that's for sure.

The Paramore cover isn't the most inventive thing in the world by any means, but I like them a lot anyway and it's fun enough.
I don't love recent offerings from The National but I'm interested in seeing what they end up doing. I can see BadBadNotGood, Toro y Moi, Chicano Batman and Kevin Abstract doing more than beat-for-beat covers - not as familiar with the other members of the artist list though.

That artist list is pretty dreadful, the paramore cover provides noting to ever listen to again. It's a completely average attempt

Yeah, this might be a waste. Like its a good but unimaginative cover, someone like LCD Soundsystem would have done a faithful cover and also tacked on a cokey rant in the end.

I feel for the artists because this a track like this is a classic so no real way to do it without someone hating.

I'm very interested in hearing this album when it comes out. I like hearing cover tunes.

One of my favorite cover album is Encomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin. If you haven't heard it, I recommend checking it out if you like LZ tunes. It's a fresh take and I think all of the songs are good. My favorite is Stone Temple Pilots version of Dancing Days.

Not a bad cover, but for a glorious minute I thought this was a single for an impending new album :(

Love this one, but my gold standard of tribute albums is the Nativity in Black duology, with Black Sabbath covers. The Therapy cover of Iron Man and the Primus cover of N.I.B both have Ozzy on vocals and they both are awesome.

I love the Talking Heads and this looks so unappealing to me. How often are tribute albums actually good? Only one that I can think of off the top of my head is Stay Awake, the '80s Disney tribute album.

Edit:
Ok Heaven by The National is pitch perfect. That's perfection and it sounds great.

The National are one of the best bands on the planet
They always bring the epic arrangements or sparse arrangements
Heaven is fantastic it reminds me how they nailed INXS "Never Tear Us Apart "
Did anybody see David Byrne did Hard Times
