What about Alone With Your Body?
That one is among the top 5 best E6 lyrics, IMO.

That said Human Zoo was a bit underwhelming. Good but not much more than that.

Eh, it's okay, I wouldn't call it anything that special. I've Seen Rio In Flames is so close to great but those loving lovely synth strings.

Goddamn, but this band was born to play "Ah, Leah." I knew it was going to be good but the end result works almost perfectly. You can tell they really enjoyed this one.

You are going to be so happy with Cat People.

I am a little salty that their digital downloads are limited to 3 codes and only work for less than 24 hours, but I get why they're doing it.

E: also despite them saying that the downloads would be WAV, they're MP3? Weird.

I just got my CDs today and noticed One and The Warrior missing from the album. Did digital copies get these, or did I miss an update on licensing problems/expenses/other getting them cut from the tracklist?

Still probably the best result from any Kickstarter project I've backed so far!

"We also offer one more minor clarification...the covers of "The Warrior" and "One" are included on the "Memories" disc and not "Mimicry" as originally intended. Why? Because after further consideration, we decided it made more sense to keep "Mimicry" as a coherent disc with all the songs recorded, mixed and produced at the same time, from the same sessions. These other two covers have been around for years, so they wouldn't fit seamlessly with the other covers...hence their inclusion among the demos."

They ran a kickstarter a little while back for a double cd of covers and demos and such. Just came out now.

Huh, I didn't remember that the $60 tier doesn't give you the digital download. Oh well. At least I'm getting Sexy Trash and the Absolute Treasure blu-ray along with the physical copy, so I suppose I'll live. Too bad I live in the frozen wastes of Finland and probably have to wait a few extra weeks for all of that stuff to ship.

I'm sure Turn Me Loose and Easy Lover will be more than worth the wait, though!

How did you end up liking it? Sorry about before, for some reason I thought you had picked the Bowie song.

Once again I end up liking some of these covers a lot better than the originals.

Cat People, Turn Me Loose, and oddly The Look are my favorites off the album.
As someone who doesn't really have any emotional attachment to Weird Al, that song was surprisingly great as well.

Was somewhat disappointed with Easy Lover and not even E6 can make a KISS song good, but it's a solid album all-around.

Actually, KISS owns (except when they suck, which is most of the time) and Do You Love Me is cool and good :colbert: Nick Cave's Do You Love Me would have been a more interesting E6 cover, though. :v:

Turn Me Loose is also cool and good and I think I like it more than the Loverboy original.

For a song I had never heard before, they do a amazing version of Rockets and lyrics weirdly fit them.

I'd also never heard of Rockets before and after listening to the original I think the cover is significantly better than the original.

The Look is ridiculously good, and the lyrics weirdly match E6's style so they pull it off in a way Roxette wishes they could. Ah! Leah! is also an awesome interpretation. And I like Easy Lover but I understand where you're coming from. Cat People is good but I still argue it is a waste of a Bowie song, there are so many other good ones they could have done. I am a little disappointed with Everywhere since I wish Dick was singing the whole thing, but otherwise I like what they did with it. It is solid overall. And Memories is likewise full of gems.

Does anyone know if this is getting a wide release? Like I assume backers get it first but presumably it was kickstarted so they could release the album with us just getting bonuses etc. I really want to be able to use this with Google Music and my phone etc. and not have to take the CD everywhere.

It's about how the US government shoves the military-industrial complex("let's start a war, start a nuclear war") down our throats("I've got something to put in you"), and burns lots of taxpayer dollars doing so("I wanna spend all your money").

Or it's about a gay bar. Hard to say.

Oh god I can imagine the shipping costs to Finland :gonk: (my irresponsibility with money is well documented, so I'd still probably bite)

Speaking of which, I finally got my copies of M&M, Sexy Trash, and Absolute Treasure after they got stuck in customs for a few days (:argh:). Easy Lover is everything I wanted and more.

When I saw the Electric Six last year their van broke down in Edmonton and they rode in the back of a cube truck with their gear to Saskatoon. To make up for being late/hosed over for their show they played for like an hour and a half.

You can get a ringtone with a custom vocal. That could be turned into a miniature cover song, of sorts. :v:
