I like the original too, but this was always the highlight of this album for me (which might not be saying much).
I brought this up in the controversial music opinion thread, but agree and disagree with you. All covers of NMA songs are better than the originals, I just don't like the style, but love the songwriting?
Can I throw in that Sepultura covering stuff is oftentimes better than their originals?
Other obvious example of NMA superiority:
Dylan freely admits Hendrix's AATW is better than his.

Sepultura's cover of "Policia" is pretty good.

Pretty much why I decided to post, too. This is so off the fucking mark.
I just heard both for the first time... it's a draw! Nirvana one just sounds like generic Nirvana. Wipers one could sound like generic Wipers... fuck if I know!
Fuck if you know indeed. Generic Wipers my ass.

Also, FUCK THIS. Need To Control is the pinnacle. It's self-evident that only assholes don't recognize this.

I don't like Krallice and the Orphan stuff I've heard has been pretty boring, but I'm really digging the Krallice covers e.p.
