I should probably change my bass strings.

Your cover reminds me of this:

Loved it. Twenty Four Hours is possibly my favourite JD track and you have really done it justice. I didn't think anybody could. I'm not sure I like the vocal effect on the last verse but that's probably just one of those "not like the original" biases. It works in its own way. Nice job!

Thank you. That's a great compliment. I created an alternate version that more closely tracks the original vocals in the last verse. Here's the link: https://archive.org/download/darkest-co ... 20alt1.mp3

It just sounds like Joy Division to me. Why not try to make it your own, more like the other one ggio77 linked to? That said, I prefer your version to theirs.

These guys have a whole album of JD covers and their original stuff is really good -

At times your voice really sounds much better than the original. At other times there is a nasal quality that I think you might be able to avoid. Anyway it's really damn good all around.

Interesting to listen to both versions back to back.
Joy Division's original has a lot more room. Your version is a bit crunchy and suffocated.

Back off on, well, everything, and turn off your limiters.

It's not hard to sound better than Ian Curtis.

You really captured the dark vibe of that era. And I love that snare sound. Are those real drums?

This was entertaining.

I thought the vocals were hauntingly close to the vocals on Closer, not because it's easy to nail that sound, but because you did in fact nail that sound.

The overall vibe of the production was ok. The performances were decent.

Good work.
