The Ultimate Comparison thread

[Skipees]

It can be useful for cases when someone finds that there's some other source for the same song, and he wonders if it is exactly the same, or has some differences. If we don't add it - he can think that we didn't know about its existence. We can just make something like:

 

In The End (album) [identical: RAID OST, In The End single, etc.]

 

Maybe it's not really perfect way of doing it, but you got the point.

i just want the list to be "comfortable", some songs appears in lots of sources. if it will not be easy to read, we are missing the point. we just need to find another way to do that, maybe we can use "*" for identical stuff. for exmple:

 

 

In The End (Hybrid Theory*) - Original studio track

In The End (8-Bit Rebellion) - 8-Bit instrumental

Enth E Nd (Reanimation) - Original remix track

 

...

 

Powerless - Original studio track

-------

 

In The End album version appears also in: RAID OST, In The End single, etc.

that way it's in the list , but without making it "heavy". what do you think?

What if we will have various versions of the same song that is identical on different sources.

 

What I mean for example:

A Place For My Head (Album)

2-track demo

7-track demo

8-track demo

9-track demo

 

let's imagine 2 and 7-track demos are identical, and then 8 and 9-track versions are identical, but at the same time 7 and 8-track versions are different. Asteriscs won't help in this case.

i didn't talk about demos, only about versions that identical to the album versions.

SOTD:

RB mix - one less guitar track (palm-muted guitar that starts at the chorus is missing)

- additional strings (different sampled strings can be heard at chorus)

- different synth take (the high pitched chorus "ambient-type" synth that joe plays live is different)

iTunes mix - one less guitar track (palm-muted guitar that starts at the chorus is missing)

- additional strings (different sampled strings can be heard at chorus)

- one less synth (the high pitched chorus synth is missing)

[Skipees]

- A.06/A-Six.

- YO (MTM Demo)/ Brad's YO.

- Shadow Of The Day (Rock Band 3) - Different synths? (Unconfirmed) - yes, we have the multitracks.

- Blackbirds Mastered For iTunes sounds better than the other version.

 

- Burn it Down Remixes and Burn it Down Remixes Promo are the same CD.

- Band Three->Bang Three.

- Points of Authority (LPU 2.0) - Crystal Method Remix->Pts.Of.Athrty (Crystal Method Remix)

i don't know which browser you are using, but you need to do one of this two:

 

- edit your post and delete the [/color] after the last Part of Me version, and before Carousel.

- if you can't do it^, choose all the HTEP part (except the HTEP main title), and click on this button in Full Edit mode. after you do it just re-bold the song titles.

[GlassCastles]

Done. That was just a mistake I made early on that I forgot to fix.

[Skipees]

give me an update when you finish everything, i'll take a look.

[SergSlim]

Oh, we should also add instrumentals and acapellas.

[GlassCastles]

Oh, et should also add instrumentals and acapellas.

I was thinking about that for a while, but I wasn't sure if it was needed.

[SergSlim]

For clean/amended versions it would be great to note which words were actualy censored.

 

Anyway, right now it is already an awesome thread!!! Thank you a lot.

I'm hating myself for not being able to help right now, as I don't have access to my PC with all my LP stuff....

[GlassCastles]

I just made a fairly big update to the list, adding "Other" tracks, like New Divide, A.06, and QWERTY, what words are censored for each clean track, and instrumentals and a capellas.

[Skipees]

I think we should add Tinfoil-Powerless instrumental to Tinfoil list too. Because right now it's like we don't have Tinfoil instrumental, which is not correct.

We've had TINFOIL's instrumental since the day the album dropped . I'll add it to both.

Part Of Me HTEP and LPU 1.0 - is missing the Ambient note.

[SergSlim]

Finally I got to my PC..

 

Added track lengths for HTEP, added couple missing tracks, added track lengths for some Hybrid Theory albums.

 

I think we also need to add Mastered for iTunes albums, and HDTracks versions.

 

Will continue adding track lengths later during the week.

I'm using EAC logs for this - it's actual data from CD.

There are some releases that I don't have logs of, which means that most likely they were not ripped perfectly using EAC, and we can't rely on pure length of FLAC files themselves.

[Skipees]

I think we also need to add Mastered for iTunes albums, and HDTracks versions.

The question if all of the Mastered for iTunes albums are "really" re-mastered. If not it's like to add Tour Editions, same tracks under different release title.

Just wanted to say in the list, Cure for The Itch (HT Instrumentals) doesn't exist. That had the same issue as One Step Closer.

Updated the list with the RECHARGED track listing.

[GlassCastles]

Updated with LPU XIII track listing.

I didn't notice it mentioned, but the From The Inside single mix has a cold ending - on Meteora it crossfades into Nobody's Listening.

Never noticed that. Thanks. I'll add it once I'm back on my computer.

Speaking of singles Breaking The Habit from the single doesn't have the From The Inside transition for the last few seconds.
