Filter are to release a cover of The Turtles' hit "Happy Together", which will go for adds on the 19th of October.
The track will appear on the upcoming movie soundtrack for “The Stepfather”.
The band are currently working on the follow up to their 2008 album "Anthems for the Damned". The album will apparently be heavier than previous efforts.

AWESOME. :o The band are currently working on the follow up to their 2008 album "Anthems for the Damned". The album will apparently be heavier than previous efforts. That should be interesting. Looking forward to it. |

Heh, and I was all ready to come in here and jokingly say it was a remake.
I guess if this is as good a way as any to get them a moderate-sized hit again. Looking forward to this as well.

The idea of this seems so random to me. But it definitely gave me some curiosity.

I don't remember a single song from them other than Take A Picture, not even the recent chart appearance, Soldiers Of Misfortune.

The two of their hits I can get in my head easily are "Hey Man Nice Shot" and the Crystal Method collaboration "(Can't You) Trip Like I Do." Their other hits, I've heard, but I either need to play a clip or look at the lyrics or something to think of how they go. Still, I like them, and am curious to hear this. |

I didn't realize that I forgot about most of their songs and I own two or three of their albums. Four of their eight singles that charted actually hit the Top 20 on either the Alternative or Active Rock format. I hear "Hey Man Nice Shot," & "Can't You (Trip Like I Do)" all the time, and obviously I remember "Take A Picture" because it was their biggest hit. I can't believe I forgot about "Welcome To The Fold," "Where Do We Go From Here," "American Cliche," and "The Best Things."

I kinda liked it until the chorus came along. I could've done without it being quite so screamy, but what I really hate is the way the entire chorus is in the same note.

Am I the only one who really likes it? I like how ominous the verses are and I actually like how it breaks into such a rockin anthemic chorus. The only thing I don't like is how he holds that note at the very end, that's such an anticlimactic end to the song.

I don't think this will be a hit. I kinda like it though. There's a lot of really neat stuff that happens in stereo. It feels more NIN-like than anything off their last album, and I like it when Filter has that industrial metal vibe to it.

I think it would be a great album closer.

I'm trying to think of a cover that's been a closing track on an album. I can think of a few examples where it's the final track simply because it's the album's "bonus track."

Not that I know any Deepfield other than the two singles, but who's "Don't Let Go" originally by?

Hmmm, I'm not sure I've ever heard that song. Maybe I have. I remember "My Lovin' (Never gonna get it)" and one other song that I can't recall the name of right now.

Oh I totally know this song. Yes this was the other one. Just like "(Never Gonna Get It)", it's another song I'd be way more likely to recognize by the parenthetical title of (What's It Gonna Be). I didn't know until recently that their biggest hit was actually called "My Lovin." It wasn't exactly intuitive.
And the cover is pretty legit. Though I wish they kept more of the harmonies in the chorus.

Love your new avatar, Ethan.
This could have been so much better. I hate that Richard decided to abandon the chorus melody almost entirely. I don't mind the verses (they're way too sluggish for this to have a prayer at radio, though), but I wish at least once, instead of taking the "-ther" note of the titular phrase down, he actually sang it in falsetto, up where the note belongs. The ending is too abrupt. He should've done some "ba ba-ba ba"s.
