Comments about Just Like Heaven:
Dinosaur Jr's version is tons better. The Cure's original is great, but like said above, is only synth. Too glam-y.
And AFI sucks.

I love both versions and this is probably the closest cover on this site pour moi. I dont know why people are aggrandising the cure this much. Come on you old, smackhead cure fans, it Lou, j AND Murph, its not like RHCP covering Stevie Wonder or Fred Durst coering the who. Dinosaur Jr are more than worthy of covering this song.

J totally rips it!! who cares if he's got a bit of middle life spread these days, he can wield an axe and scrawl better than anyone!!! (and I am a cure fan also btw)

J Mascis is amazing and pretty much ever song off his guitar is great, this is an interesting cover with much deserved respect. However, the only logical conclusion is that DJ's cover of the song lacks the subtleties of the original, which make the original pretty great. The original is a little over produced, but man the song is damn near perfect.

There's some idiocy on display here, Dinosaur Jr. by a huge amount, I like The Cure but 'Just Like Heaven' is weak, synthy nonsense, not as infectious as the cover or a real Cure masterwork like say; 'Close To Me'

Oh jesus, you're kidding? I'm so sick of The Cure covers, but I'm open minded and acceptant of their existence. When someone does something so well but sings so off-mainstream it has to provoke a billion covers, but that cover? %40 of you actually thought it was better? Blows my mind. I'll never understand mainstream tastes. They destroyed that song. It was worse than when the Dixie Chicks redid Landslide.

No Cure song should EVER be covered.

I had no idea it was a Cure song for the first year or so in 91.

I'm sorry, but you just don't cover The Cure.
It's something that just shouldn't be done.

The Goldfinger cover is much better than Dino Jr's croaking but neithr compare to the original by The Cure.
