Bryan Ferry - Is Your Love Strong Enough

[BRoswell]

I don't get what's good about the original or the cover version of this track. Once of the most boring movie songs ever written in my opinion. So fucking boring.

Trent's version succeeded to even turn it into a more bland song.

Disagreed completely. The original is a decent song, but Trent and Co. made it stand out a lot more. If you really think this new version is even more bland than the original, I don't know what to say. I think they improved upon it in every aspect.

I think it's more of a polished t**d kind of deal. If you love the song, more power to you, I prefer Bryan Ferry's original to be honest. The HTDA version is a crispier version a la NIN-kit-sounds as we know them. The original at least fits with its 80's style production. The HTDA version is the type of cover that Marilyn Manson would do after he stopped working with Reznor. Like his cover of Tainted Love - the exact same song (with a different MIDI sound bank) as an even older cover done by Soft Cell. If you're gonna make covers at least re-imagine them and challenge yourself - like Coil did with their cover of Tainted Love.

I think it's awesome that Trent and his wife are making music. This is a new era for Trent that I look forward to. I think they'll make better stuff than this song though. If they don't, and just keep rehashing old *nin*dustrial music with female vocals I'm afraid I'll lose interest.

The irony is that HTDA is supposed to be a tribute to one of the most challenging and groundbreaking musical constellations ever: Coil
If you're gonna use one of their EP-titles for a new band at least challenge yourself. I hope I get to eat up my own words once the LP gets released.
