Sometimes they work when you have an ad-hoc group put together for no reason
other than to do some covers, thus taking the weight of being an official
release in the artist's catalog and allowing it to be be its own animal...
Rainy Day, Hindu Love Gods, etc.  The Church's cover album (with "Friction",
natch) was pretty fair.
