I am very disappointed with Chris' vocals on this album.

 

Me too, they have been declining ever since MX. They were also bad for the most part of GS.

I really loved the Live version, but I'm disappointed with the studio production. It killed the vibe of the song for me. :(

I really LOVE the chord progression over the "whooa" part - especially the bass line

Yeah. I still actually do love the vocals still but they're much worse than before. I like his older voice better.

 

But that's what happens as time progresses. :(

The more I listen to this track, the more awesome I find it!

it'a little messed up :cry:

i mean....everything's good, but Johnny's guitar is pretty much "buried", especially on the last 'a head full, a head full of dreams' before the bridge.

on the live version is very prominent and it goes so well with Chris' voice

 

I agree with the ''buried'' guitar, nice choise of word:). Could have an even more outstanding bit of the song. But it's catchy anyways.

Is it just me who thinks it sounds remarkably similar to One Tree Hill from The Joshua Tree?

Not just u. My first thought when i heard it.

Nope. I guess that's why this song is my favorite on the album.

What a great way to open the album. I love the fade-in. Ironically, the last time we had that was with Life in Technicolor.

Another's Arms?

Whoops, I meant in regards to album openers. But you're right!

Oh so sorry, I meant to say Always in my Head....I knew what you meant. I edited it now.

This is what happens when I try to think at midnight :p

I'm so tired too. It happens. ;)

Simply my favorite track from the album :D ........ what a great song i wished if it was longer

 

For some reason i remember (A sort of Homecoming) song from U2 ;)

Oh man I'm getting some funky U2 vibes here and I'm loving it!

Also did anyone notice the bells from the end of Oceans in the beginning instrumental of AHFOD?

I really liked the live version, and then comes along the studio version which for several reasons kills the vibe. :(

They are also in Colour Spectrum, which sounds even more like the end of Oceans.

It sounds more like Magnificent from No Line On The Horizon to me. The intro is a bit similar and the guitar is similarly the epic centerpiece.

This song is truly so U2 even I can see it (and Im not a U2 fan or U2 connoisseur hehe). It must clearly be an homage. And btw Magnificent is one of the few U2 songs I truly like!

I think this is an example of a studio version being better than the live version. I like this song a lot, and one of my favorites on the album. Digging the disco of it.

To me, it's the other way round - loved the vibe of the live version but the production of the studio version killed it off for me.

With that logic in mind, I'm sure, then, that you liked Up&Up live better (which I would say I liked better in my opinion).
