lpliveusername Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 1 hour ago, raptors661 said: I think the high pitched vocal samples during the chorus is the single most obnoxious thing I've heard this band do. I almost skipped the track during my first listen. I listened to the entire discography yesterday and I had completely forgotten how annoying those vocals were, especially when you're playing the song loud. I also felt like skipping it when they started. I think the song is really good, Mike, blackbear and that other guy did great with it, but would be even better without those samples.

My issue is not the high pitched vocals, I like the song but i just can't imagine, now that we heard it, how can you leave out of the tracklist Friendly Fire and opt for SFN. FF is just too good for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the band this version sounds better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FF is just too good for me I think Friendly Fire is just ok. Not awful, but nothing great. I can totally see why they would exclude it from an album, but there is indeed some pretty bad songs on One More Light. I'd say Friendly Fire is at least better than Halfway Right and Good Goodbye. Maybe Invisible too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the album but GG, a good song, especially live, does not fit the vibe and Heavy would have been better without Kiiara (with all the due respect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendly Fire is better for sure. I agree that a version of Heavy without Kiiara could be more interesting than the album version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry For Now without Chipmunks s sounds so good check it out I even replaced the album version w this one, I can't stand the original https://web.archive.org/web/20190803051221/https://instaud.io/3xeT Edited February 25 by JZLP-NaughtyNottingham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only time I kinda agree with haters/detractors when they go "this is not Linkin Park". IO don't hate the song, it's sweet but should have been just Chester or Mike/Chester or Chester + someone who sounds less teen pop. Ilike Julia Micahels more on the song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy, cringe inducing lyrics. If they had not been on the track and mikes live 2nd verse was put in their place, I’d love the song. Something about it is really catchy to me and it’s pretty different than what they’ve done before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenom1000 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Im reading all comments and you know what I think, stop crying. We all know OML was not the best album and from this time all songs sounds similar. I can bet if they make next album would be banger, but Chester not with us, so we never know how it could sounds. Im just happy to hear any old new song, because its someting extra, still hope we will get full songs from mtm/LT or AS which was not got through final cut.

But now that we have FF I just think that songs exactly represents the vibe of the record and the idea of personal and intimate song a lot more than GG does. GG could have been a MS/FM song or have a place on a record like LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LennyTobell Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Doubt it but IF they release QWERTY as a single before the Papercuts release, they really should include the live version of the song: 1. QWERTY 2. QWERTY (Live version) probably won't happen and then we have to wait for a streaming release of the live version to MAYBE be included in MTM20 or something, but a man can dream 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thigolpbr Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Still hoping the band will release a music video for QWERTY before the release of the "Papercuts album". QWERTY is the most random song on this album and deserves a music video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPLStaff Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 What would be really cool is a QWERTY release with a new video by Mark with studio footage from the MTM era. Imagine if they have even just a few clips of the band recording that one. And the band rehearsing it, there is definitely footage from Tokyo Zepp 2006 of that as Mark is backstage filming also pre-show there. The long version of LPTV has that clip. Mark has a tremendous talent with the video editing - I'd love to see what he could do with QWERTY. Take the opportunity and put the live version out with it and put the Summer Sonic video on YouTube with that. Why not? By the way - the band has that full Tokyo 2006 show as evidenced by the QWERTY, OSC, PMA, etc footage in that LPTV... we need that show so badly. Could be one of the best releases they've ever done if they put it out one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodbath Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 If they don't want to include Tokyo 2006 on the MTM boxset no problem! They can just simply release it separately in two years 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
