The Manics are such a particular band with a particular make-up and chemistry and identity that any cover they do sounds like the Manics trying to do a cover.
It's also the reason why no one has covered the Manics or even cites them as an influence.
All the Manics' covers are great in their own way - I think Suicide is Painless, It's So Easy, Train in Vain, Pennyroyal Tea, and Sweet Child are all great fun. But I can't take any cover they do too seriously.
And in response to the particular point of OP's post, the Manics haven't improved on any of the originals in the slightest.
