Lower Than Atlantis - Never Meant (American Football Cover)

[@MusicallyInclined101]

Why is everyone hating so much? I think both versions are good. I believe this one is a lot more emotionally striking than the American Football version. But kudos for writing the lyrics.

[@jamesmartin6527]

It's a cover for a reason. Their stylistic take on the song. and his accent is his accent.... it's how he talks/sings. What do you simple minded people expect??? lmfaoo

[@mochitsuki420]

SO MANY ANGRY CHICAGO HIPSTERS

[@Imaproshaman7]

This is actually really good.

[@opazify]

its called a cover for a reason dudes. these days a cover means do it exactly like the original. Calm the fuck down and appreciate they are trying to mix it up bit.

[@G00dbyeSkyHarb0ur]

My favorite band covering my favorite band. Awesome.

[@camerongaudin2671]

This gets me, every, single, time.

[@aalecmmcgrory930]

THIS IS AMAZING

[@vhsodre]

"This version sucks" - said the old man syndrome people. They did a good job on this one. They didn't emulate the song and that's great. Stop whining and go listen the original if you don't like this one.

[@zackfact]

i like this a lot. they put a pop punk vibe to it.

[@nikitakaramushka7285]

brilliant cover

[@StevexOwnz]

I agree with you 100%.

[@kylesimpson96]

This is great ! If you dont like it then dont bother wasting time commenting cause its not going to change anything. Enjoy the music or listen to something else ! :)

[@TheKustom23]

this song is sick both ways... enough said

[@alphatyrone]

This song was never meant to sound like this

[@bo9455]

dope!

[@StevexOwnz]

The reason he's on the lower than atlantis video because 1. we never heard of this band before 2. we are interested in listening how Their never meant cover would sound. In conclusion. I agree with Joshjordan69 completely. word after word.

[@JohnyPeeter]

@95enjoipanda yeees. this song should be more soft than they played. but this is their interpretation of the song. :D

[@opazify]

fair enough

[@JordyToTheJ]

Tbh its a good cover it isn't supposed to be the same, it has a different energy and take on the original.. Take a listen to Transits cover if you want something closer too the original

[@2112Primus]

this cover is good fight me

[@POWERVIOLENCEx]

This is dangerous territory haha.

[@OlegUstimenko]

I heard the original first, and it's probably my favourite song ever, and honestly, this cover is alright. It's quite a lot different, but I've heard worse. Also this made me check out Lower than Atlantis.

[@MusicallyInclined101]

@mykissandtellvalenti All I see is an alternative rock group trying new things. No need to hate on them.

[@lokoneG]

Too much emotion was put into every song on that record.

[@Hopless4twy]

I liked this, then i listened to the original, now not so much. I would like to thank lta for showing me american football though haha

[@StevexOwnz]

I wish somebody can cover this song but in country style. :)

[@StevexOwnz]

I agree with you but honestly, they didn't really pull it off well with this song. I'm guessing because this song is pretty hard to cover because of the tunings and what not.

[@doritos180]

@joshjordan69 I can understand you disliking the cover but LTA aren't really that bad. Definitely one of the better bands coming up at the moment.

[@ListenToPumpkinMusic]

@alphatyrone I see what you did there.

[@crazyshit8]

Good effort in the cover. But only American football was able to play the song beautiful filled with emotion. The song is okay but doesnt feel or have any emotion to it

[@MusicallyInclined101]

@fshn4jc Let's count them

[@gilamunja]

@panicatthediscosuck if this is sarcasm, haha. if not, then you're mad.

[@wingsfortheirsmiles7]

Agree that this is an awful cover, but that's just my opinion, fair play to those who enjoy it. Hopefully it'll get more people into American Football and other Kinsella projects :)

[@mtj027]

Was a fan until the vocals kicked in. I dunno. However this version beats out the 500 acoustic covers Ive found on youtube by virtue of trying to be different.

[@OperGnomeKDT]

needs moar gain

[@whatsafemeans]

ps disliking a song != being a hipster

[@CalzumSSBM]

i cant fault this, not because its good ( its so meh it hurts) but it showed me American Football when i was an angsty lame teen bumming 3rd rate bands

[@-voiceoftheturtle]

Its not a brilliant cover but its hardly an abomination, stop being so overly dramatic (sorry). Those people who put bands on pedestals and make them sacred cows that nobody should ever cover just piss me off.

[@LnBguitars]

@MusicallyInclined101 they aren't all that alternative though , just covering an alternative rock song badly

[@idiosinkrasi]

SHIT, nuff said.

[@ilovegibsons1]

um....

[@joshhasadeathwish]

why

[@lurgoyff]

Not that bad, but I dont think i will ever listen to it again

[@RobH1093]

While I do like both bands (American Football are one of my favorite bands of all time), this cover is just bad, and doesn't do the original song any justice whatsoever

[@StevexOwnz]

No it's not.

[@GH-TheCapitol]

no.

[@jakehough1106]

ithink this is awful. that said, i respect that music is subjective, some people are going to hate it and some are going to get through the day with it. sooner people accept that the better.

[@lokoneG]

You just don't cover american football. It's just that simple.

[@hamlovesjesus]

No. No no no no no no no.

[@11apaige]

NO

[@wombat989]

@HoldYourOwnTube It's not creative, it is pretty much exactly the same with a different vocal style and more gain on the instruments.

[@steve1287]

Had an open mind about this, gave it a listen, hated it.

[@TheAngryChav]

fucks sake

[@gilamunja]

Why would anyone try to defend this. This is hideous. Like, honestly, piss poor. They shouldn't have gone anywhere near an american football cover. Thank fuck that seems to be popular opinion.

[@BusquedaBlues]

It doesn't sound as sincere with the twinkling guitars and Mike's vocals. This isn't really that great. Vocals pretty much ruined the cover.

[@Vendraii]

nonononononono not cool.

[@LnBguitars]

woeful :/

[@bellyspb]

Dear god this is awful

[@HarryMifyify]

what the fuck is this

[@connormcfall]

i don't like this version, at all.

[@xasdrubalex]

AHAHAHAHHAAH PLEASE QUIT MUSIC FOR GOD SAKE.

[@ZacFreeland]

Awful.

[@thewishengine]

These have absolutely ruined this amazing song, Mike Kinsella would be sick if he heard this.

[@livvi67]

I like Lower than Atlantis, and their new album's pretty wicked, BUT ... considering this is perhaps my favourite song, it's not the greatest cover. Their Everlong one's alright, but this is a wee bit... I dunno. The subtleties in the original were what made it so good, that band Transit did a better cover on here somewhere.
