Face To Face

Editor's Review:

I love this record, and I'm not usually down with cover albums. The thing is, Face to Face have chosen the best songs to cover - from The Smiths' "What Difference Does It Make," INXS' "Don't Change" and The Psychedelic Furs' "Heaven" to The Ramones' "The KKK Took my Baby Away," The Pixies' "Planet of Sound" and even The Jam's "That's Entertainment." These songs aren't the standard fare for cover tunes, and that's a large part of what sets this record apart. On top of excellent taste in music, Face to Face also have the requisite talent to not only pull off legit covers of these songs, but to do it with their own spin, and without taking away from the songs' original power and glory.
