Eleanor Rigby - Dubstep vs. Beatles

1.) Which of these do you like better? Why (be specific)?

The original version, since I'm just not fond of dubstep in the slightest. Also, it's just more emotionally fulfilling and more pleasing to the ear, unlike the repetitive, uninspired noises of dubstep - it has originality. There are just so many aspects of the original that are superior - the vocals, the orchestration, and the structure.

2.) Which of these is more pleasing to listen to? Why (be specific)?

The original is more pleasing to listen to because it just feels more substantial, and when music is substantial, it's easier to get lost in and appreciate it. The dubstep version seemed more repetitive, and that can get boring after a while. The emotion of the original is lost due to the fact that the vocals are covered up by the loud, throbbing beat. The original keeps your interest because you can hear the lyrics and melancholy instrumentation, unlike in the dubstep version, where everything is muffled, save for the electronic music.
