I wanna see the face of any jt fan that looks up dep thinking they'll be similar

Anybody else notice how Chris Pennie buries the beater for the first phrase, then plays the kick open for the second, then buries again for 3 and 4? That attention to detail is why he's probably was one of the best drummers on Earth

gregs vocals were even good back then and hes only improved exponentially since .. mans so good

well, if you're going to cover any pop singer....justin timberlake is the one you'd want to cover. his music is pretty damm good.

When the Dillinger Esc Plan becomes on Incubus

I like it because it shows how flexible and open these guys are

They should've done this with Mike Patton...the live version is wicked!

This is surprisingly faithful to the original. Good shit.

Amazing Chris Pennie work!

been listening this song for like 3 days straight. perfect version

0:57 isn't out of tune. It's just that the harmony is in consecutive 4ths and it isn't something we hear a lot in pop music. There are other bits that aren't perfect but hey. I love it and I love Greg's voice.

It's so faithful to the OG that if you do the rap verse alongdide the guitar solo it lines up perfectly

My life goal is sing very well like Greg. This guy rules.

Late coming comment from me...but one of my favourite most appreciated Band performing a song I love ( can't resist Justin's voice) Fucking perfect!

Uploaded on my 18th birthday. Awesome cover.

You missed the point then. The EP was to make faithful covers. They've done original covers as well. Their version of Depeche Mode's Behind the Wheel is a perfect example.

Chris Pennie is a bald God.

i been looking for this damn this is a kick ass cover song

hearing ppl hate on the singing is so funny like how can u not fall in love w this mans voice

I dig the concept they were going for

why is it that this band is so fucking amazing! i love it!

Que excelente cover 👌

Don't much care for Timberlake (although that Super Bowl Beyonce shit was maximum trollage, and I respect that). But it'd be damn cool to hear him return the favor to DEP. Chinese Whispers would have a bitching old rockabilly feel if all the 8th notes were swung rather than straight.

This is Perfect! Been a fan of both Dillinger and JT for a couple of years now.

This is surprisingly similar to the original sans the guitar noodling instead of the rap verses. I expected it to be a bit more shouty. Pleasantly surprised.

Cheers to you my friend.

@MrWiggerdale123 By the way, I am a musician, and I have been transcribing music for about 10 years. For example, the full score for the original Justin version. (If anyone wants it, just ask.) So I can tell the difference between singing in and out of key.

i like this version , and the original, whatever, wahen you do music or love music , we have to stay open

Greg gives it his best shot and does a good job. Not as good as JT's original, for what it is, but when I hear JT do some of the shit Greg can do... That'll be the day

I was hoping it was the Mike Patton version. The live in San Francisco video was dope. I didn't know who's song it was and when I saw here it's Timberlake's, my whole outlook changed. I guess no one else who like's this song in whatever incarnation can say shit about certain people sometime's. Ha ha, I cringed hard when I saw his name though!

That's the idea of that EP ;)

It sounds exacly like the original, only better

Just fucking better than the original shit.

It's the name of the EP ;)

he would've, the man is a mad genius. still, the concept of the album was to perform identical and 100% faithful recreations of the original songs. from what i understand, the song was first played live when mike patton was doing vocals for the group. as every member of the band actually likes justin timberlake (there's really no reason not to like him), they planned on doing just that for the album, copying it down perfectly with little to no divergence of the original.

I really like this version. Maybe Gregs vocals aren't quite up to Timberlake's, but, his voice still works for this song. You don't have to be a great singer to have a voice that works with music. Though I do wish Pennie went a bit more overboard for this. He could have had so much fun with that beat.

@JonSebastianF Ohh ffffuuuuuuuuu- Haha and I actually must have been listening to just after 0:57 as opposed to the exact moment, it does in fact sound as if he's singing flat of the key, my mistake.

I wish he had done the "rap" part in the middle!

it actually is true. yea of course he did write some songs but that's the keyword "SOME".

lol and that's how it should be buddy :) glad you didn't lash out in anger like most people, Good Shit!

@MrWiggerdale123 Well, English is not my mother tongue, but if you're looking for the term out of key, here it is. No sorry, it was not to offend the song or the band. It was actually a pretty serious comment - not to be taken for any ridiculous hating. And no, I'm not suggesting, I can do any better job, but I just thought such a technical band like DEP could.

The Plagiarism album is an album of covers. The band's just having fun with words. This current sentence is a "clever" & "biting" insult of something you hold dear, as per KZfaq protocol.

In the beginning, was that another one of their songs leading into this song or was it just some random sounds?

maybe they just covered it because it's a cool song......does it matter that it's by justin timberlake? good music is just that

lol this is hilarious

plagiarism is the name of the ep.

@jmasterX Mm

Its funny that it says Plagiarism in the background picture. lol its like the band stole the song from Timberlake or something xD its just a cover people.

That is an Opinion, But in fact dillinger actually makes their music, Timberlake doesn't write or make all his music.

@xhushbladex ahahaha maybe i think he like this video

@JonSebastianF It's not out of tune? Are you aware of what "out of tune" means, haha and they wanted to remain faithful to the original, if you think you can do a better version, go do it.

this was probably all the first takes of everything....

I hope you realize that Dissonant does not mean In Tune.

justin timberlake disliked this video.

the acoustic guitar tone sounds absolutely identical to the original! good cover, gregs vocals arent quite up to par though. they sound a bit flat and weak as hell. he's signing too softly. his vocals have definitely gotten better over time

.......

It seems that shit must not sound like shit. just give it the right men.

Never understood why people 'dislike' songs. I mean if you don't like it, don't listen to it right?

I could say it is better because that's what an opinion is...

This original version's way better than Timberlake's shitty pop cover of it...

Patton did this better live. Puciato sucked on this song.

i dont like the voice, too much efects but still enjoy it

It's only slightly out of tune, the kind of "out of tune" that you really only notice when you do harmonies. That's why harmonies are so critical and take practice.

:(

Justin Timberlake would never

this should have been recorded with Patton, this version is souless and not fun at all

Who the fuck is Justin Timberlake?

Not quite as good as I expected. It sounds almost identical to the original version, which is good in and of itself, but I was hoping for a more classic DEP-like version, with screaming and rawness.

Before you talk about any music and musicians. Ask yourself this. How many albums has YOUR band sold? KZfaq is full of disgruntled basement musical has-beens, hating because they still play shitty covers in dive bars.

this sounds exactly like the original... just not as good

Awful singing, bad timing

0:57 out of tune.. how can incredibly skilled musicians like them let that happen?

I'm a fan on Timberlake and Dillinger. i gotta admit that this is a poor cover, mostly from Puciato's part.. The vocals are weak.

No. "Dissonant" means in tune, but notes that are not considered to be a nice interval playing at the same time or in succession. This is just out of tune. And it's incredible I get so many negative votes just because I am using my ears. It's not so strange Dillinger didn't do the harmonies well there.. Harmonies are not so hard, but you need to do them more often to master them. And Dillinger never does vocal harmonies. They just don't use it on their songs.

Seriously, this must be joke, right? The only musician who can keep up with the original here is the drummer? And DEP are usually terrifyingly good musicians? I mean, the 2nd vocal at 0:57 isn't even in tune. Why did they just attempt to copy the original instead of doing an actual interpretation of it (aka. "a cover")? - My opinion. ...Really, IS it joke?

Oh no you didn't... (Damn this is terrible, and I thought the original was bad...)
