I've pre-ordered the CD Digipak from the NiN-redirection website and it says 9th December is to be released but I did not recieve any email stating if it was shipped or anything. Anyone has that problem?

This version is cool, but I still prefer the original. I find it more powerful as Robert Plant, with his instantly recognizable voice, displays a wider vocal range than Karen O does; and Jimmy Page delivered one of the greatest and most instantly recognizable riffs in rock music. When played on a synth, like on this version, it feels more like a remix than a cover.


NOT saying this version is bad, just saying I strongly prefer the original.

Oh, and I see Sentinels from The Matrix with the way the USB cords move.

I've got many friends who share this view. While I'm not going to "choose sides", I'd still like to point out that making a "pure" cover would probably not have seen artistically interesting, the guitar-playing would have been instantly compared to the original and so, the resulting version was probably the only (or one of the few) way to make the cover unique - ie by converting the guitar riff to a synth part.
