The Idles cover of Damaged Goods sounds great! It sounds like the original which is not a bad thing...
IDLES’ new cover of Gang Of Four’s iconic anti-capitalist anthem “Damaged Goods,” produced by Kenny Beats, comes from The Problem of Leisure: A Celebration Of Andy Gill And Gang Of Four, a covers album paying tribute to Gang Of Four and guitarist Andy Gill, who tragically passed last year. The cover is almost identical to the original, though Joe Talbot’s aggressive, accented vocals turn it into an even angrier anthem. It captures the timelessness of this song and Gang Of Four itself, underlining the way so many current post-punk bands have gathered influence from Gang Of Four’s idiosyncratic, inventive sound.
Metallica are celebrating the 30th anniversary of “The Black Album” with two big releases: a massive deluxe reissue and remaster and The Metallica Blacklist, a covers album featuring 53 artists’ takes on songs from the 1991 blockbuster.
This stinks. They took the power out and made the riff sound like Love and Rockets' No New Tale to Tell, which is a great song, but doesn't sound anything like the ocean.

Sounds like Jane Says Ocean Size.
Makes you realise how great the vocal melody is though.

I like the cover. Obviously, it doesn't top the original. I like the singer's voice.

I like Flo's cover of Just a Girl.
(Can't wait for S2 of Yellowjackets!)

Both of Ghost's covers are amazing. The Genesis one is genius, and POTO has some really great touches to it to make it their own yet still keep the pace of the original.
