This comes from one of the best tribute albums ever. I have quite a lot of tribute albums in my collection, and their quality definitely conforms to a bell curve. There are some that are mostly bad, some that are mostly excellent, and the great majority are in the middle with a mixture of good and poor cover songs. For The Masses: A Tribute To Depeche Mode is very far on the excellent side of the curve.
As for this particular song, it is actually one of the least exciting covers on the album. Not because it isn't good- it is a good cover, it sounds exactly like The Cure, not The Cure Trying To Sound Like Depeche Mode. It's only flaw is that there are so many other truly exciting covers on this record that it pales a little by comparison.
