It's actually one of the few covers that rivals the original (in my opinion)!
You really need to see them in concert sometime. Such a passionate performance. I've seen them a few times in different venues (even in the shitty Metro) and they never disappoint.
I'm considering buying one of their CD's...but the songs seem to be hit-or-miss with me. On a given album, I only like about half of them (based on samples). Perhaps this would be best purchased with a gift card--less guilt if I don't care for it much.
I have a feeling you would fall in love with How It Ends. Or, you could try the Little Miss Sunshine soundtrack. They did the entire orchestration for it. The other albums may take some getting used to.
Based on what I've heard, I really dig the gypsy, Eastern-European sounding cuts (tunes similar to "Russian Dance" off of Black Rider). The songs that don't have that sound are the ones that seem rather bland. I wish I could be more specific, but it's hard to form solid judgment off of iTunes samples.
