florez411 Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 What are your guys' thoughts judging from the few clips of the Studio Version of the song as opposed to the Acoustic version from 2005? I'm very excited about ot. Quote
DarkViper30000 Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Both kick the ass out of my day. I can't hardly wait for the full song... Quote
immortalsoul Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Both kick the ass out of my day. I can't hardly wait for the full song... Seconded. Quote
wiiesel Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Studio Version is way better....don't like these accoustic versions. Quote
LPxDC Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 studio version is amazing. The solo sounds really nice to me. I jus wish they made the ending a bit better but its good nontheless and the intro is amazing to me Quote
Subs Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 studio version is amazing. The solo sounds really nice to me. I jus wish they made the ending a bit better but its good nontheless and the intro is amazing to me I think with the studio version its one of those cases with no matter how awesome it is ( and it is ) it's never gonna top the magic of the acoustic 2005 version. I also think it could have been improved, such as the solo, I dont know how to describe it, but it just sounds like one long note, there isnt much ' solo'ing ' in the solo Lol Quote
Geki Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 A lot of people don't seem to like the studio version but I think it's pretty awesome. I still love the acoustic one from 2005 but I think the studio version kicks ass too. Quote
OZZY Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I think that the studio version kicks ass! Judging from the DSP's i've downloaded DBS is a really great live band. Acoustically yes! But the 3 songs performed already sounded terrible! Quote
JZLP-Benningstrong Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 it's going to be one of the best songs on the album, no doubt the harmonies in the chorus are way too awesome!! Quote
crossfire Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 Looking forward top the studio version more than anything else, sample sounds great ! Quote
Linkindude92 Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 Looking forward top the studio version more than anything else, sample sounds great ! i got the full studio ver. few hrs ago. that is awsome, but i like Too Late most! Quote
Tomer Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 Let Down imo the best song on the album, but in fact all songs are awesome Quote
florez411 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Posted September 30, 2009 After listening to, not only this song, but the whole album I find this song the best song on the album. The Guitar solo was quite good, extremely similar to the one in the acoustic version from React Now concert. Oh yeah..........HELL YEAH!!!!!! I have the album!!!!!! Quote
[High_Voltage] Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 studio version is amazing. The solo sounds really nice to me. I jus wish they made the ending a bit better but its good nontheless and the intro is amazing to me how long have u had the studio version....? Quote
Legend Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 I preferred the live version over the album version, but after a few more listens to the album version, by far the Album version is better =] Quote
Christos_17 Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Best song on the album and I said it would (IMO) since I heard it on those MySpace videos. Glad it didn't disappoint in the end. Absolutely amazing song. Acoustic version is good, but the studio version hits a home run for me. The chorus riff really hits hard. It gives me goosebumps. Quote
florez411 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Posted September 30, 2009 The chorus gets it for me too christos Quote
GraDoN Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 i like the acoustic version much more but both are great Quote
Geki Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 I take back what I said about the studio version sounding awesome...it fails miserably compared to the acoustic 05 version. I really hate what Benson did with some of the vocal parts and I hate the electronic elements to the song. Let Down doesn't even sound emotional like the acoustic version which is why I liked the song in the first place. Quote
Aiman Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 I take back what I said about the studio version sounding awesome...it fails miserably compared to the acoustic 05 version. I really hate what Benson did with some of the vocal parts and I hate the electronic elements to the song. Let Down doesn't even sound emotional like the acoustic version which is why I liked the song in the first place. agreed. theres too much going on and it completely takes away from the emotion and power.

hahninator Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 I take back what I said about the studio version sounding awesome...it fails miserably compared to the acoustic 05 version. I really hate what Benson did with some of the vocal parts and I hate the electronic elements to the song. Let Down doesn't even sound emotional like the acoustic version which is why I liked the song in the first place. Totally agree. I also have a big big problem with the bridge. Play the acoustic version really quickly. Notice on the bridge...Amir and Ryan just go fucking AT IT with the guitar. Sick as hell, they trade off as the guitars sound the same and it combines for one epic solo. As they keep going, Chester goes with the OOOHHHHHHH all over it.....EPIC. Bridge on the live version is just fucking sick. The studio bridge's guitar solo is so fucked up man...total garbage. Not a fan of it at all. Then Chester comes back with the same generic chorus...on the acoustic version he sang the last chorus in a higher pitch and made the ending just awesome. Studio version has the ending repeated for fucking ever and is so repetitive. Not a fan of that either. Intro and the rest of the song has so much electronic stuff...it's not attractive to me. The studio version gets a terrible review from me, I don't like the fake drums, I don't like what they did to it at all. Biggest failure on the CD other than The Morning After. I love certain songs but they massacred Let Down. I prefer the acoustic version MUCH more. Studio one isn't emotional at all...I feel like they just killed the song and ruined it. I bet a demo sounds better for it.... Quote
HybridThe0ry97 Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 I have a feeling everyone is banking on Let Down to be a big radio hit, to boost album sales, but to be honest.... it won't be. The closest they have to a ballad like that is Too Late or Walking in Circles... Because they really -- as Hahninator stated so justly -- they massacred Let Down.. Quote
