There is a trend going on amongst certain high profile bands that i do not like.........bringing out releases where they do covers. I think this is a piss poor attempt at making some extra cash & its just an excuse to release something as they do not have the mindset to come up with anything original.

Whats next...............Deicide covering Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin?

Enough of this crap already i say.

I'm OK with covers as long as they are done right.  If the band just does a note for note version of the original than what's the point.  If there is some variation than I'm curious.

I hate it when the bands put the cover songs in the middle of the album instead of at the very end.

It does seem like there's been a rebirth of covers lately.  I'm not a big fan.

Killswitch Engage's cover of Holy Diver pisses me off.
