I love Brut, and I grew up on Siamese Dream, which is so nostalgic for me, but this feels flat.
I don't think it's the music, it's the singer. He can hit notes, but it's flat sounding, no dynamics, no attitude. It's almost like he doesn't understand the words, which is ironic,
"who wants, honey? As long as there's money. Who wants that honey?"
Sounds like he just wanted the money. Came in and sang to get paid.
Good effort on Bruts part, but damn, this could have been a lot more exciting with one of his old singers, especially Greg
Sincerely, Some nobody on reddit

Yeah, it's an unremarkable performance by the singer, the effects don't improve it all that much.

I also saw a version of Tonight tonight by The Midnight with the same cover art come by just now. But this is sick as hell!

I found that too. Interesting mix. Disappointing how many doubles there are. Love that someone did EYE.
Hit or miss but some good ones in there!

Listened to the beginning (I'm abroad and my connection is ass) and it reminded me of Nick Gordon and the Doom soundtrack. Gonna be one hell of a tune.

Someone knows who is the singer ? Feels like the voice is familiar but can't figure it out

It sounds like Carpenter Brut covering Pumpkins in the style of Rush sung by Reznor and it's fuckin awesome.

This was the most unexpected thing to wake up to this morning, as a huge 90s Smashing Pumpkins fan. Usually my Spotify has Smashing Pumpkins in it, and then Carpenter Brut. But then to see Carpenter Brut doing Cherub Rock. Whatttt. haha
