UrbanBuckeye33 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Most of the people on here are saying they think the studio versions are too produced/etc. Many are saying they prefer the live versions. Well that makes sense, because you have been listening to the live versions for what, 4 months now? You have created an emotional tie to the live versions. But the studio versions all existed first; the live versions are just operationalizations of the studio tracks. If you had heard the studios first, this conversation would not even exist. All I am saying, is don't let your ties to the live versions ruin what are some really cool studio versions (HLH comes to mind). The awesome thing? Nobody can take the live versions away from you, so what does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roe Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It's a decent point but before the studio versions came the basic idea of the songs. I doubt Chris Martin sang like a **** when he first wrote HLH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobW Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I think you are right. The first time I heard the studio version of Major Minus, I was so angry and I hated it. Now I like the studio version and don't have to listen the live version anymore, it makes no difference for me. You've to get used to it. Now everyone reacts emotionally, in a few weeks, you will see here the real opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lore Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 They totally ruined HLH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nature Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 i wish they never played the live versions so soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanBuckeye33 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Yep exactly. HLH is freaking awesome on the album. In time, you will realize how cool some of the songs we heard live are on the record. And if you don't like them, then listen to the like 15 high quality live tracks.

Ennosuke Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 HLH and Charlie Brown are so much better live. HLH is totally ruined, i hate that electro voice of Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanBuckeye33 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 The verses are just double tracked, must like Jon Lennon used to do, the only "electro chris" is in the backing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobW Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 i wish they never played the live versions so soon. Agree. More than 50 percent isn't new for me. Not a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomnames Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Not a good idea, only if you can't resist listening to them in the first place. Lots of bands out there play new material before it's released on album, EP, etc. But like many others have said, if you made the choice to listen to those new songs played at their shows this summer.. then you can't just blame them, when it wasn't like they were suddenly being overplayed everywhere on the radio. I hope those who waited, enjoy the album fresh :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsarehardcorex Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 MX is so much better studio. In fact I've only just finished HLH, and I'm thinking that's even better studio. Come on, that outro! Can't hear that in the live version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanma Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 STUDIO / LIVE UATW > UATW CB = CB HLH < HLH MM < MM MX > MX UIF > UIF my thoughts :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor!42! Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 wow really? i thought that HLH studio was at least as good as the live version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanBuckeye33 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 The only track which I like way better live truly is MM. And that is only because the made jonnys cool riff quiet and nonexistent on the first go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
