Meteora (20th Anniversary Edition) | Out Now!

[JZLP-Benningstrong]

My only complain is the order of the tracklist

It starts really strong, Chester is gone way too soon.

 

More The Victim as the last track would have been cool.

[Qwerty18]

At this point, the "A.06" with Chester vocals has become such an unfamous thing that there should really be like a remix contest among fans, specifically to find who manages to put the most-fitting Chester acappella on top of A.06 chorus 😄

 

There must be at least one that'd fit. But please then, use the LPU.09 A.06 instrumental 😃

Cuidado was such a headache to listen especially with the electronic beep boop that reminds me of epileptic techno strobe music. 

 

Apart from that the album was good. But it'll be forgotten (zing) in a week or so.

Its a weird and messy guitar riff but so damn cool. Learning that by ear will be a nightmare for me 

https://youtu.be/ifseDKx4f_k play this at 1:15. It reminds me Plaster 2 bridge. Totaly nu metalish.

Plaster 2 bridge is sooo Staind but sounds so good

I retract my last statement. Apart from the completed songs, A6, easier to run and Faint are probably the only demo songs that are good, the rest will get old. I get what they meant when they said most of it was crap, and I agree, although this just shows that the diehard metal head fans are just a otp and their poppier and mellow songs like resolution and massive deserved more but they couldn't do much in that time. Ya know cus their fans are metal heads who want hybrid theory 1 2 3... What a waste these songs are awesome.

The one thing that irks me about these anniversary releases is that i wish the vinyl box had the lost demos pressed alongside the lpu demos instead of more live shows.

Some of the songs on these Lost demos discs feel so vital for deep-diving fans that I feel they really missed a step doing it the way they have and putting so much of the live stuff on vinyl instead.

Would love for the vinyl boxes to essentially be a monument to all the studio work that went into the albums.

Glad we at least get the LPU tracks! But not including it in the full package meant I went for the vinyl box instead of full package.

 

It's very interesting hearing these now after so many years. I know teenage me would be losing my shit at the release of this stuff. Very cool to be able to hear these new-old tracks! Looking forward to having a proper listen through them all together in proper quality. Listening to the LPU rarities record now is giving me a greater appreciation for them compared to when they were spread across the different LPU discs. Makes me think that creating playlists from the LPU CDs sorted by album would be a nice way to re-explore those demos.

The 2004 live shows are INCREDIBLE in this release.

Denver 2004 Blood, Anger, Suffering Outro Transition and Long Piano Intro; Guitar Outro Transition are "completely" recorded or black screen/placeholder like Camden 2004? 😮

100% behind this. That is one of the coolest things about those anniversary boxsets imo. They encapsulate an entire era. Hearing all that stuff together makes much more sense than when spread all over the place. That is also the reason why I really, really, really hope there will be MTM20. I think MTM is the worst offender when it comes to spreading stuf allf around 😃

Is every Meteora instrumental included?

 

Or do I need to add something else?

Although I think we can omit 10 versions of the same song at rehearsals

Please tell more about the Live DVDs

Agreed on this. Feels like the only minor misstep here. As it is, I am waiting for the price of the Vinyl bundle to drop in price a little so I can at least have the LPU tracks on Vinyl. Bummer that they couldn't toss that into the Super deluxe as well.

They could, but they want you spending 100€ more

I’ve had the night (Aus) to process my thoughts, calm down and relisten to some tracks.

 

And I’m still pissed off about the Faint Meteora|20 demo

What's there to be pissed about?

you will do the remixes with the versions with vocals? 🤒

It’s 95% the Faint Demo from LPU 9 which is also on this release.

There has to be another version they could have put on this, with or without Chester.

I'm not pissed about it, but it felt unnecessary to release it. It's nearly identical to the LPU9 version. The only differences were the slightly different riff and the extended outro, which isn't very good.

[Rockter]

There's nothing to be pissed about considering we would have probably gotten nothing if they decided on not releasing this demo. It's not like Faint took place of a holy grail we didn't know about

I’d much rather have had Nocturnal or Serpent

Are the box sets coming in the mail or ups in the states?
