Anyone pick up a copy of "Very Introspective, Actually?

#1 Post by Girl Strange »

I'm sure this was brought up before, but I'm just wondering if anyone got that CD of PSB covers by a bunch of mostly virtually unknown goth bands. (The only two bands I knew on it were "Fictional" and "Icon Of Coil".)

In my opinion, most of the covers were lousy, but the disc did have a few minor gems. Even though it was too much a copy of the original, I did like Fictional's bad goth cover of 'Opportunities' (but that's because I frequent bad goth clubs every other week). There was a cool cover of 'Love Comes Quickly', and the Hungry Lucy cover of 'Jealousy' was really nice. Can't remember - there were a few others that were kind of good. But yeah... I spent WAAAY too much money on that disc - $30! Sheesh... <___<

I got it on a lark when I saw it- I didn't know anything about it 'til I saw it in the CD store where I bought it.

It's not a bad CD if you keep in mind that these are covers, and not really intended to sound like the originals, which is a hard thing to do, especially for die-hard PetHeads.

Over all though, it's a good addition to a PSB collection.

And yes, you DID pay too much for it! :wink:

I own it but I haven't listened to it in ages. I don't recall it as being bad, per se, just not terribly memorable. Perhaps, I'll give it a spin this weekend.

The most famous artists on it are Momus, Cruxshadows and Icon of Coil. I paid about £14 for it when it came out and overall it is pretty sub-standard.

I´ve got it. I don´t remember if I bought it in Berlin or in Finland. I prefer that cd with quite green cover and just one band playing PSB´s songs.

I bought it because or two reasons and two reason only:

1) I like hearing PSB covers
2) Two of my friends (War-N and Christa) group, Hungry Lucy, from my hometown of Cincinnati are on it covering "Jealousy".
