Temptation

Ok, this is probably percieved by fans as the most "shallow" of COF's songs.  It's probably like by more casual listeners than Nymphetamine.  What's your oppinion on Cradle's cover?  Do you like the original better?

I REALLY like Cradle's version better. The video was pretty good, but it's not the first single I wanted to hear from the album, Thornography. People that don't get into Cradle really like Temptation. So, I guess this was to feed those mainstream listeners that ONLY liked the single, Nymphetamine. I still don't understand why the entire Nymphetamine album only had one music video... I wish Nemesis, English Fire, Gilded Cunt, or even Coffin Fodder had a music video.

Using italics for track/album name + solid statement written in a legible way + likes Nemesis = Good post!

Well, I didn't like Temptation that much. Though, I have never heard the original, if that changes things...

lol the original was fucking pathetic, period. Dani himself was like "I feel so gay listening to this in my car".

The original was fine, but I wish this cover had never happened.
Whenever I get into a debate with someone about Cradle's merits, they always bring up this song. And to be honest, there is not a lot of defending I can do!
Perhaps if it had been a special edition song as opposed to actually being part of an album, let alone a heavily-promoted single complete with music video, it would be a bit easier to ignore. As it stands, this isn't the case.

The original is fine, though. Does its job!

It was a rockier sounding Cradle of Filth

One good thing that I can say about it is, it had a pretty decent music video, for the time. Within the Garden Of Eden was a different take for a concept, but that concept would have fit even better with this new album coming out. I think Dirty Harry did excellent vocals for the song. For you who have never heard Heaven 17's version of Temptation, download it and see what an improvement Cradle did. Dani is always talking about making music that doesn't sound like Cradle, I think he greatly surpassed his goal with this one. (Side note:It's the only COF song that my mom will listen to. :cD)

The first four times he says, "temptation", on each chorus, pretty much makes this song one of my favourites for vocals!

I dont think its all thaaaaat bad...its probaly not great for 'true metalhead's who never dare to stray from anything but metal, but those with a wider listening pool might like it better...all down to taste. personally, i think its fine as an experimental song, but i doubt theyll try anything like it again haha :P
