  1. Couldn’t stand listening to more than a few seconds.

  2. I’m not into that dubstep thing but… as jaco used some tricky effects, I found this cover really closed to Jaco’s spirit, really suits this tune!

  3. Great interpretation of the song, but I’m not too crazy about your tone on this. I presume it is the fault of the Hot Hands. Almost makes it sound like you recorded it under water.

  4. Not interesting..just lazily sleepy.

  5. Overuse of effect. It’s a cool effect, and a cool piece of tech, but overused.

  6. Ok I think, got tired of the effect though…

  7. don’t like it at all, don’t get me wrong, I love the hot hands and I love jaco but the two together, especialy with this song, not a good mix.
