October 17, 201114 yr 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
October 17, 201114 yr 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!
October 17, 201114 yr The studio versions are good, just Phil Spector/Wall of Sound ish and a bit overproduced. The live versions are so fantastically better.
October 17, 201114 yr 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?
October 17, 201114 yr 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.
October 17, 201114 yr 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. :\
