"Waiting Room" bass line.... "Slaughtered Authors" inspiration?

The Slaughtered Authors bassline is a carbon copy of the Assault on Precinct 13 theme.

[Nickinvincible]

totally way dude.

i've listened to stop us a few times, i think it's reasonably good with some stand out tracks. for me the main weakness is that i think ginger is a better songwriter than any of the bands he's covering and therefore i don't think any one song really pushes the band to their potential. with other WH albums i keep listening and there is always more layers or subtleties to find, but i don't really get that with this.

having said that, it is good at what it does, its one of the best (only???) covers albums i've heard, so well done the chaps!

Unsung
- Great opening. Great vocals. Never heard oirginal before this project, kinda cool here.

TWCT
- Love it. Raw, punky and catchy.

Understanding Jane
- Dont like the original. Really love Wildhearts version. Summerhit 2008

Waiting Room
- Love both versions. Great song.

Jeez Louise
- Boring. Listening to songs like Jeez Louise makes me realize how much better songwriter Giner is than the rest of them

Ice Hockey Hair
- I think Wildhearts really hit it with this version. One of the best on the album.

Rocket 69
- Cool tune. Could be better.

Possum Kingdom
- Dont like the original. And even Wildhearts cant make this song good.

Rearrange You
- Boring. The band do the best thay can with bad material IMO.

Pep Talk
- I like CJ´s vocals and his poppy style. A cool and happy tune.

Battleship Chains
- I´ve loved this song for ages. Wildhearts do a fantastic version, better then the original.

Carmelita
- IMO one the greatest moments on the album. Dont have any problems with Scott´s vocals. I think he sounds great. A fantastic song. Love this version to pieces.

This is a very cool cover album. I´ve never been a fan of cover albums, but I love much of this album. It cant be as good as an original Wildhearts album, but its better than most others original albums.

Agreed, i much prefer having it in my hands, reading the inlay book, though i am listening to it on my pc which kinda defeats the object, but my cd players buggered so it's the only way. Can't wait to listen to it on my ipod.

My CD showed up in the post today and it's on repeat play now. I'm not leaving the house without it - this is coming in my car with me to cheer me up on the way to work. If you see someone looking daft headbanging in a traffic jam in Leeds then that might be me
The booklet is ace - it's lovely to hear their side of things and it sounds like they had a whole world of fun making this album. Nice to see that they have put some effort into making the physical release worth having, proper artwork and notes and that. I'd rather have this CD over a download anyday!

[Sarc]

Oh my dear lord, how amazingly cool is the Wildies version of the Judge? One of my favourite bands covering one of my favourite bands, I can die a happy camper now.

No i can't, I just looked up at the tellybox and saw Peter Duncan (Duncan Dares for the older listees) in his swimming keks, I'm disturbed now................more than usual.

[markE]

i'm loving the album so far ( 1/2 way through first listen)
ice hockey hair is really growing on me.


i love the booklet . its got some great lines in it.
"cuz he likes to sing it............like a girl!"
