ttm Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 This album sounds like a John Tesh record. The live versions are far superior without all of the overproduction. I'm crushed, I feel like the boy who just found out that Santa isn't real...fml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedtime83 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I agree. This is why I try not to listen to live versions before the studio versions because Im usually let down, but with this album I couldn't resist. Hurts Like Heaven is particularly a big let down. Even MX sounded better live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Hills Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I had kind of like the same feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppywarlord Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 The studio versions are good, just Phil Spector/Wall of Sound ish and a bit overproduced. The live versions are so fantastically better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberry Swinger Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Wait...santa in't real?! :stunned: of course he's real! :cool: I know, I feel kinda let down by the studio versions too... Hurts Like Heaven is kinda... weaker than the live version,not that much energy. Though I still like it. Charlie Brown, I wish the guitar was louder and Chris' voice sounds kinda weaker in parts. But hey, it's the Chicken/Egg thing, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Track by Track for me: MX: Studio HLH: Live Paradise: Live CB: Tie UATW: Studio ETIAW: Tie MM: Live PoC: Studio UiF: Studio 4 studio, 3 Live, 2 ties All in all about even so far for me. I can't wait to hear DLIBYH live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauCH Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I think that Coldplay is a band that is better live overall. I don't like HLH (actually I hate it) studio version, but live it's amazing! This album is better LIVE, without all the auto-tune, fake drum and ... whatever you want to call it : the edits on Chris' voice. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
