First off, I already pre-ordered the CD, so don't flame me for being able to listen to this track early. I think this version is well done. However, I get the chills from Marvin Gaye's version every time I hear it whereas with this one, I just like it. It also isn't as musical; I expected more (Maynard, use your voice, man!!). :( On the other hand, I can really understand how APC interpreted this song. They recreated it to be more subtly (inwardly) angry than sad and depressing to be expressed to all; APC's version sounds like it's someone talking to himself whereas Marvin's version was talking to the world. Overall, it isn't bad; it's just not as good as Marvin Gaye's version (IMHO). Everyone should hear Marvin's original at least once, and I am glad APC brought his lyrics out again for the world to hear and notice! =)
BTW, the next song on the album, Passive, is amazing (like most of the album)! I just thought I would mention that. ;)
