🤣Thread winner LOL 

 

Starting from HT20 I wonder how many versions in total we have of everything (HT20/M20/Papercuts)

[gorast]

I always just do one variant when there's a bunch of them, usually the one direct from the artist (not that that really matters for LP...) - I did the zoetrope version of the Rising Tied and wasn't super impressed by it so I just went with the blue and orange splatter here. Doesn't cohere with the art direction very much but mine did come out looking pretty nice.

Also, there was at least one case of someone buying the CD in the local store in Germany, that had 2 CDs inside, both with the exact same content.

 

As one person described that on LP's discord.

I have a few more things to say on what's wrong with the Papercuts CD. Thanks to lpliveusername for the screenshot from the Papercuts CD.

 

 

 

So I did the comparison back then after the Papercuts CD was released and it showed that some songs were edited especially for the album. They have a new transitions or some of them have lacks of transitions. Basically all those new versions would have to be registered as under new ISRC codes. But what can be confirmed from the screenshot above, I mean, what are the ISRC codes from the screenshot supposed to mean? Well, based on the codes, all Meteora, MTM, HT, ATS and for Numb/Encore, New Divide songs should be in their original versions released in 2000, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2009, 2010. Can we trust this info just for one sec and assume that the song versions match what the ISRC codes say? Well... no, that's completely wrong. Starting with "Waiting For The End" the version that was used on the CD dates back from 2012 when they did mastering of that version and released it later in some 2012/2013 ATS album releases. "Numb/Encore" definitely not original 2004 version, with the length and mastering differences perfectly matching with the 2024 version of the song released on the Papercuts digital album. "Leave Out All The Rest", "Bleed it Out" and "What I've Done" seem to be the 2012 versions. Also, in my comparison I said that "What I've Done" has the same issue with the intro being fade-in like currently in some MTM 2007 digital editions but I didn't compare that until now, and that was not true; you can see here that the WID with fade in issue does not match with the WID version from the Papercuts CD, so WID was specially edited for the CD release. "New Divide" with mastering perfectly matches with 2024 version; it doesn't match 2009 version. So based on all this, it seems that the source for this CD, the song versions are exactly the same source as the digital version of Papercuts released on April 12! And some of the songs were just edited.

 

So summary besides COG, BID, QWERTY, Lost and Friendly Fire all ISRC codes in this physical CD are wrong. Whoever was piecing together the audio and the information for all the tracks considered that all songs from HT, Meteora, MTM, ATS, Numb/Encore and ND are the OG versions so he assigned the codes for the OG versions and credits. Additionally, if I want to mention one more thing that's wrong, that would be credits. All songs from MTM and WFTE that are on the Papercuts CD were mastered in 2012 by Justin Smith who works at Warner, so all mastering credits for those songs in the booklet are wrong!
