This cover adds absolutely nothing to the original, ALL of the instrumentation is exactly the same. The only thing that's different is Jared's voice instead of Bjork's, and he sounds a hell of a lot like Bono in this one.
A good cover should add the band's own unique sound to a song. With a good cover, you should say "Wow, this is a cover?" once you start recognizing lyrics. With a bad cover, you can say "Oh, this is a Bjork song," as soon as you hear the first 5 seconds. Nice job, guys. I was actually hoping this cover would be could, but I guess, relatively speaking, nothing could make A Beautiful Lie half the album their debut was.

Sorry for the rant, I just think this song blows.
