The Final Track Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I still think they're ripping off Joe Satriani with this new sound. :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Nails Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I think the entire studio sound of the song supports the warning/watching/media? theme perfectly, it's very clever. Maybe our ears need to get used to it, but the song itself is really great, IMO. (But live = better.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom043 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 LIVE. The live version has so much raw energy its ridiculous. The studio version is missing so many things...Jonny's harmonics on the interludes & Will's crashes and rimshots are just to name a few. Also, I absolutely hate whatever filter they put on Chris' voice. I'm so disappointed that they overproduced quite possibly what was going to be my favorite song on LP5. Sigh. well be happy then , it's not going to be on the LP , I think it's a b-side. Anyway i think the studio will grow on you, but at the moment i prefer live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Leo Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I really think this is a case of having the wrong expectations based on the live version we all heard before the studio version. If Major Minus will make it as a song in LP5, I think we will all be able to appreciate it in its context. I was also disappointed by the studio version at first listen, but then I kinda let myself sink in the mood of the song and I realized just how dark this track really is (which is not really conveyed in the live version). If you can let yourself be transported into the dark distorted mood the track is painting, I think you will like it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyduckette Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I really LOVE both versions!!! This is the kind of Coldplay I am hoping to see more of on the album. I'm pleased with them, haha :nice: Will was also in my dream last night trying to make me sign up to some charity.... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph589 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I voted for the live version, which is unusual since I don't usually like live version, especially because Chris sometimes tends to change the vocals too much. But this time I prefer the song live because I prefer Chris' voice in its natural beauty. On the other hand, I think the music is veeery good in both versions.

Jedi Leo Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Funny how such a question was really never posed before with songs from VLV for example...I am sure no one wonders which version is better, because we all appreciate them because they are different. I think this question came up simply because we heard the live version first...I always thought it was a weird way for Coldplay to premiere their songs. Maybe they have a masterplan...I certainly hope so. Otherwise it's a bit confusing to hear so many songs live first and then the studio version...it's nearly always bound to disappoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnapsty Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I think the voice is probably being distorted so they don't give away the whole song before they release it. That being said, I still prefer the studio version. Who knows, they may undistort the voice for the official release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also heard Teardrop only once with an iphone (no headphones => bad quality) before I heard it live. And even though I have a slight preference for Teardrop's live version, I wouldn't have made such a big deal about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major_Love Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Really...can't decide yet! The guitarecho live works so perfect but the verse with the voice is much better on the studio version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neonhorn22 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Don't get me wrong, I like the studio \/ersion, but I for sure think the li\/e \/ersion is way more dynamic. It's packed with more excitement and I think it's because his \/ocals don't sound "tampered with." It's just pure Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
