I never expected Paul to sound like anyone but himself, I wouldn't have wanted him to try singing like Kurt or anything. He sounded just fine. I just felt the
music was very plain "hard rock" style as compared to Nirvana's sound. More like Foo Fighters I guess, who I don't enjoy, and I shouldn't be surprised. Kind of the way Janes Addiction, Soundgarden and the like have evolved into an average hard rock sound. For all we know that's where Nirvana would be right now if they were still together anyway.

Agreed, I never liked the term reunion in relation to this. Three members are joined by an external singer to write and perform one song, with no covers, that's not a reunion as much as it is a "supergroup" type one-off benefit collaboration. But hey, "reunion" gets people to look.
