They do perform the song pretty much intact which is nice, and I am glad to
see any band that covers a BOC tune, means more publicity for the Cult, but I
just can't get past the vocal. The best BOC cover I have probably ever heard
would be the Minutemen's Red and Black, I thought they did a great job of
this song, but then again I haven't really heard very many Cult covers. Never
heard THFTR's Reaper which im 99.99999% sure I will like, ordered the disk a
while ago, must still be in mail land somewhere, or the Radio Birdman , or
the Mike Watt rendition of Dominance and Submission which I hear is just
killer. Seems to me that the Cult needs a tribute album, wonder why this
hasn't happened yet. About L7, heard an album a while ago at a party, can't
really remember too much about it, didn't sound too different or exceptional
too me, that's just my opinion though.
