[@Strepite]

He is using autotune big time here. This, we can only talk about how cool the cover is, but talking about his voice skill is pointless with a freakin’ pitch corrector on…

[@tvalla]

he can do it higher because of the autotune. I think it sound great, but maybe in the original key it would sound better (with autotune too).

[@VelcroKittie]

The harmonies sounded really beautiful together, bringing the soulful element of AIC out in all it's glory. I love a good cover when it's done well, and this is one such example. The only negative I would add is the severe tuning added to Malone's mic. It's just not needed. We need the raw mistakes to make us all feel a little more human. That's what music offers us in my opinion. The chance to be human. No need to take it away.

[@TheHammerComesDown]

Im not a post malone fan but i knew he liked 90s rock and roll. This really impressed me. Nice voice nice delivery. Gonna check out his discography now. Rip layne

[@babybeartarot3268]

Damn. Rlly beautiful tribute to AiC. The soulful vibe in his voice when he sings the chorus is rlly beautiful. It pays beautiful remembrance to Layne. The very fast paced vibrato he throws in too is so haunting and also country af. Beautiful. Such a different energy this holds, it really makes you look at AiC different. Amazing

[@gtrklem]

I can't say I'm a huge Post Malone fan in regards to following his releases, but every time I see something with him online, always impressed. And in interviews and fan footage, he's always genuine (so far as I can tell). Gonna check out some of his stuff.

[@r33th]

Beerbongs & Bentleys has some bangers, as well as Hollywood's Bleeding. He is much more than just the hits they play on the radio. The song "feeling Whitney" from his first album is an acoustic country/indie song and he kills it on that track too.
