Message in a Bottle (The Police cover)

Erm...

Not quite as good as the original.. a good attempt though... not MH's best work

I guess it's pretty simple, just about feeling lonely when love is not returned and having the feeling that the scream for help you throw to the world is only lost within all the other screams....

Nonetheless, it's a really good song...

machine head's version doesn't have the third verse/chorus. just uhh...thought i should point that out.

Still is a pretty dam good cover of the original.

As much as I love Machine Head, This is a really wank cover.

nice way to cover a sort of a poppy song. machine head is good.

Walked out this morning Don't believe what I saw A hundred billion bottles Washed up on the shore Seems I'm not alone at being alone A hundred billion casatways Looking for a home

Pretty sure that ain't in there....

I personally love this song, the way Flynn sings it makes it all the better. Say what you will about this version, I like this more than the original. It's too upbeat for a depressing song. This song captures the mood perfectly

As if! Its a fucking awesome cover of the original.

The exclusion of the third verse turns what really is a fairly optimistic song (when the "author" of the song realizes he isn't alone, there are millions of other lonely people out there) into something totally different and more depressing. Why cut the third verse? Was Machine Head angling for something darker? I don't know, but not a very successful cover in my opinion.
