Yeah, I forgot about that one. Songs like that go somewhat hand-in-hand with what CoF plays. Uptempo, harsh tones, etc. I don't think it works out so well when bands try applying their style to songs which are entirely unlike what they play (case in point, CoF covering Anathema). Although there are occasional exceptions to this. For example, I think Tori Amos did a very cover of Slayer's "Raining Blood", and added a very unique perspective to it, though she did have to signficantly change the song to suit her intent (whereas I think it would've been utter shit if she'd trying keeping the orignal pace and tone Slayer used while trying to do the song her way), whereas CoF tried doing the Anathema cover their way, applied to the way Anathema played it. If that makes any sense at all. Perhaps a topic to discuss covers in general is in order (if it hasn't been done already).
