This cover is fantastic. I usually don't like the Punk Goes Pop songs, but this is an exception.

Not a huge fan of the Vic part, Mayday killed it though.

Great cover. I think Punk Goes Pop 5 will be better than 4, 3 and 2.

I liked this. Seems like an easy song to just make rockier and call it a cover. But it is mayday, and they are awesome at covering.

Ehh a little too much for me. I was hoping they'd tone down a little bit but it was still pretty all over the place.

Any Mayday Parade post Jason Lancaster is simply not as good. A Lesson In Romantics is and will always be the best MP album. The cover will be the only one I will care to listen to off this album.

Overrated band is overrated.

This was probably the best thing I've heard yet from this album. Stylistically, they kept the verses 'eerie' enough. I didn't even think this would work, but they delivered. Will the rest of the album live up to this...probably not (I'm especially worried about hearing the "Some Nights" interpretation).

yeah, but mayday wasn't on that album, silly

also, go radio is pretty much mayday and their cover of adele was good so mayday's covers are usually far better than the rest of the others [2]
