Chazy987 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Hello. This is my first post. First, I'd like to thank the LPLive staff and community. The strength of this family is to keep our passion for LPs alive. So, thank you. Minutes To Midnight would have been my favorite album if, after No More Sorrow, there hadn't been Valentine's Day and In Beetween. In my opinion, they are among the weakest songs in the entire LP discography and, in addition, they kill the second part of MTM. For fun and for passion, I decided to imagine an alternative version of MTM, with 13 tracks. Listening to this "version" 5 times, it seemed really good. I have thought about introducing other MTM demos and b-sides that we all know as well, but I think this is the best version. If the third LP had come out like this, it would have been my favorite. Minutes To Midnight (Alternative Version) 01. Wake 02. Given Up 03. Across The Line 04. Leave Out All The Rest 05. Bleed It Out 06. What We Don't Know 07. Shadow Of The Day 08. What I've Done 09. Blackbirds 10. No More Sorrow 11. Hands Held High 12. In Pieces 13. The Little Things Give You Away Obviously they are personal opinions. I'd love to hear your feedback on "my" tracklist and hear your other versions of MTM. If you have them! A hug, Chazy987 Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/14578-minutes-to-midnight-alternate-tracklist/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeffingnaive92 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I’d pick Valentine’s Day over Across The line any day personally, but it’s a matter of taste 😊 Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/14578-minutes-to-midnight-alternate-tracklist/#findComment-308308 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They talked about it on stage at the iHeart 2014 show.

Oh I can see it, but I was never big on the songs order on MTM, like the Valentine’s Day to LTGYA sequence, but it’s my own personal view Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/14578-minutes-to-midnight-alternate-tracklist/#findComment-308423 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sent them that exact tracklisting and that is what they went with.

Rick is awesome, without him the band wouldn’t have grown to create such masterpiece like ATS, but when it comes to MTM, there’s always something that makes me feel bored by listening to it front to back, I don’t know the exact reason Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/14578-minutes-to-midnight-alternate-tracklist/#findComment-308459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
