A good cover, true to the original though it would always struggle as “not as good as the original” in a like for like comparison and at the same time it lacks anything really original to set it apart.

 

As mentioned, great job with the vocals, and for that matter all the parts. Other than being a like for like cover, I only have 3 comments:

 

It lacks the raw energy that the original delivered. In that, particularly the drummer hit the notes but missed out on the passion and dynamics.

 

The bass level could come up a bit. As it is, it is a bit muddy.

 

The guitar solo sound just doesn’t sit well with the other sounds.

 

I did really enjoy it!

Super effort! Vocals sound great. As John says though, this is a hard one to cover in terms of getting past the "not as good as the original" challenge.

 

I often think covers of big songs like this benefit from being done in a different style. Like when Ryan Adams did that amazing, haunted cover of Oasis' Wonderwall which was arguably better than the original.
