This is really mediocre.

That was awful.

SOAD creates their songs around making the instrumentation precisely matching the quirky vocals and this version doesn't come close to doing that.

Digging: Kanye West - Yeezus

System are just too distinctive and eccentric for anyone to cover properly

Ouch

Digging: Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork

Well, that was really, really, really average.

Digging: Letlive. - The Blackest Beautiful

sounds good to me

Way to turn this into generic deathcore. I expect no less from Born of Osiris, though.

Digging: Enemies - Embark Embrace

Funny that they made a lyric video to a song they didn't write.

Fake and gay.

fags

lol

Digging: Bill Evans - Waltz for Debby

what the fuck

The instrumentation pleasantly surprised me. The vocals however are awful and ruin the song. If Serj
were dead, he would be rolling in his grave.

Digging: The Black Dahlia Murder - Everblack

Everything these guys do is mediocre

Some people are thinking that this is an original song LOL. Still I thought the cover was decent.

Digging: Lil B - 100% Gutta

2.5/5, max. 3/5

Music was fine. Vocals are what was miserable.

I like this band, but that was just bad.

Digging: Yume Bitsu - Yume Bitsu

Didn't even listen to the whole thing. Come on, guys, you can do better.

Digging: Ruin Lust - Ruin Lust

Yea, not good. Why they made a fucking lyric video for this is beyond me

Those were the longest 2 1/2 minutes of my life. So boring

Wow, didn't know a band could butcher SOAD like that. That cover does not make me wanna shimmy shimmy shimmy 'til the break of dawn, yeah.

good

fucking retarded

Digging: Strictly Ballroom - Hide Here Forever

What a soulless, half-assed, by the books, hollow shell of a cover. This isn't even a cover, they
aren't making it their own, it's just like a play-through of the song itself but with screaming. And I
think it's a shit excuse if adding cookie monster growls with no variety to their cover is "making the
song their own" in their eyes, because that just shows how mostly every band in this genre has no god
damn identity outside of the same old loud noise they all make. Taking a band that is so unique, and
being this fucking dense on a cover of their material is just a disgrace. I liked these guys on their
album "A Higher Place", but they have gotten so damn hopelessly generic.

Digging: Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest

I kept expecting clean vocals during those interludes like the proper version had.

don't do keyboard effects for guitar parts nooooooo

Digging: Thundercat - Apocalypse

Horrible.

gay

Digging: Nuclear Death - Bride of Insect

wow

Isn't this band suffering from drug abuse problems and constant near-breakups?

my god this is bad.

Just made me want to listen to Toxicity.

Digging: Dog Fashion Disco - Adultery

the bridge was almost cool

Digging: Jizue - Journal

had to listen out of morbid curiosity. regret it

Just made me want to listen to Toxicity.

Why pick such a shitty band to cover?

Digging: Scale The Summit - The Migration

lol

This is in my top 5 worst things I've ever heard
I had to listen to some blood on the dance floor to clean out my ears

Not sure if boo is trolling or bad

BoO were never very good, I don't know why they get so much praise.

PSYCHOGROUPIECOCAINECRAZYPSYCHOGROUPIECOKE

seriously these fucking lyric videos need to stop.

yeah, they are one of the worst trends in music right now imo. and most of the bands that release them
have awful lyrics

Yeah they are pretty stupid, just put the lyrics in the description

Yeah, I noticed a bunch of shit cunt bands making those terrible lyric videos. A handful of good bands too, but we don't talk about that.

The first one I remember seeing was for Simple Math

They're not deathcore and wow;




couldn't they cover something else? It was lame

how are they not deathcore

I first saw that Design the Skyline lyrics video. That was my first experience of them, and I think it painted a picture.

how are they not deathcore [2]

Yeah, if you say they aren't Deathcore, you're just being silly. You may not like the fact that your favourite band is tagged with the unfortunate title, but it's there to stay.

They used to be deathcore back in The New Reign. Not in The Discovery.

So what the fuck are they now, free form jazz?

They used to be deathcore back in The New Reign. Not in The Discovery.

They're still deathcore. Don't be a moron like most Boo fans who say "no man their prog metal now".

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

I bet he's gonna say Prog Death Metal or Tech Death Metal.

They're Deathcore no matter how you slice it.

i didn't like this at all

Just posted they are deathcore on the vid.
inb4 flame war

I like System of a Down and Born of Osiris enough, but from a purely musical standpoint that was bad.
Like looking at yourself in the mirror bad.

Winrar: I enjoy fanning the flames of genre wars on YouTube. I don't do much trolling, but when I
do...

Breakdowns in an SOAD cover? How lazy can you get? Terrible.

The Amon Amarth cover was a lot better

Digging: The Black Dahlia Murder - Everblack

Now we can 2step with our bros to system.

probably the only deathcore band i can tolerate but this is just awful

Bad

Digging: The Black Dahlia Murder - Everblack

Yeah, why waste time covering this song which only comes out to be just meh? Hope this is not an indication of what to expect from the new release.

soad rule fu

Listen to Deer Dance and tell me they suck

neck listen to war

lol yea i bet you havent even heard honey

stick to byob poser

lame.

Digging: Across Five Aprils - Tragedy in Progress

ask andcas

it typically stands for bring your own beer but since they're
political I'd guess it probably means bring your own bombs.

you know now anyways.

"what is an byob" sounds like a question to me. oh well.

I didn't see your ninja edit successfully explaining in detail.

=/

Pretty bad but then both born of osiris and system of a down are pretty meh!

That was bad, and I enjoyed their LP's.

Oh look a generic band covering a SOAD song to try and sound less boring...... Yawn

I can't think of any band who could properly cover soad.

ehh wasnt the worst thing ever. listened for a couple minutes...got nothing out of it, turned it off. posted this comment. on with my day.

sweet day

GOOD COVER GUYS

I actually like Born of Osiris, but this is a weak cover. Just had to alter the riffs, and the vocals aren't even as expressive as an average Born of Osiris song. It's all too bland and stiff and monotone, from the music to the voice. Sigh. I had hoped for the best, but I didn't get it.

Digging: Letlive. - The Blackest Beautiful

"I can't think of any band who could properly cover soad."

I was thinking about that while listening to this and thought maybe PTH could do it? Idk, I couldn't
think of anyone else. This is however one of the worse covers I've ever heard.

what about horse the band?

Yeah I could possibly see that.

I was so disappointed when I listened to this. Thank god it's a cover, so there's still hope for some good original material!

gay.

I mean it's not bad, but that is the worst average I have ever heard. Everything sounds boring, everything is boring.

Digging: Captain, We're Sinking - The Future Is Cancelled

Sikth. Sikth would be fun covering System of a Down.

I totally forgot about this song and never really thought about it when it came out. Are the lyrics supposed to be some kind of commentary or are they actually ignorant?

the dillinger escape plan could make this cover their bitch.

I doubt it, did you listen to their cover EP? Not cool...

the cover of wish ruled. especially live with trent.

best thing this band has ever done

I dig BOO, but this was terrible.

Terrible...Really Terrible....
A unique and weird song made bland and lifeless...

i love how BOO's last album is averaging a 3.9 out of 5 and were being praised for how technical they are, and yet people here a cover and are saying BOO is bad and gay... Fucking sheep.

cool disturbed avatar.

I happen to think all their stuff is pretty mediocre. I gave The New Reign a 3 but everything else is kinda lame. This cover happens to be extra bad.

mediocre at best instrumentally. way too monotone vocally, this guy has no range or style. and i get the point of covers trying to sound different, but this barely resembles science musically. the signature riff in the chorus isn't even there. on its own, if they somehow wrote this, i would say it fails hard at keeping my attention

What does this cover have to do with their last album? Many great bands fail at covering songs, it says nothing about their actual potential.

THA could probably do a boss cover of SOAD. :P

They made the main riff into a shitty breakdown. Vocals suck too.

considering this was like the first slighty 'experimental' song I heard as a kid, I'm not going to ruin it by listening to this cover.
