I love to hear a cover version that's a bit off the beaten track from the original and this one for me still puts over that great emotion of Radiohead but takes on a whole new light. Have fun with it.

If you listen Lo-Fi please save your production comments ;) thanks,

P.S Almost forgot to mention....I got paid 2, 6 packs and a pizza for doing this recording.
 
I would almost swear this was Thom Yorke singing. It sounds as if it were recorded live during a show or soundcheck. Pretty good recording overall. I'm streaming it now and the quality (Hi fi ) is lacking just a tad. I'm gonna download it and give it a re-listen.)
 
It's got a cool feel to it. Is the guitar out of tune or is that a mod delay or something? It's kinda cool but maybe a little too disonant.
 
This is one of my favorite songs.

Were you aware that the singer's timing is way off from the original and that the chords are not the same as well?

Or was this done intentionally?

yep, well aware of that. It's his version, not Radiohead's
 
I'm sorry to sound mean, but I have to speak my mind for Thom's sake. That song should never be done by someone who can't sing well. I am not a great singer myself, but that gentleman should not attempt Radiohead songs. Also, whether it is some fancy effect or not, that guitar sounds horribly out of tune. I am saddened that another beautiful song has been temporarily ruined for me.
 
Ok, I'll stick to mix comments :D

The whole thing sounds like it's just WAAAAAY overcompressed. This thing is seriously squished to the point of distortion in several places. The bass is so overcompressed it's just like a wall of mud for most of the song, with no breaks, lol. Same story with the acoustics.

I guess you weren't overpaid though, lol. :D
