    This is actually a pretty solid tracklist. Also, I can get why you left off "Good Goodbye", as it's the only track that has Mike rapping and it's the only hip-hop track of sorts on the whole album of "One More Light".

    Thanks :) Exactly, I always thought the hip hop style and lyrics didn't suit the overall vibe and message that they had going with the other songs

  2. Alright, my thoughts so far... the artwork is pretty lame and weird decisions have been made regarding the included songs. Really needed a THP song and QWERTY is surprising. But, still hyped to listen to Friendly Fire!

    Also, notice how the album is structured like it's a live show setlist. So by listening from beginning to end, it should almost be like a live experience :)

    Basically that Mark felt like the weakest link because his performances weren't good (live and during recording). According to Jeff he lacked the quality of being a front man. So Mark got thrown out of the band rather than quitting because of anxiety issues, so the band could become a overall better package. It could be connected of course but it felt more drastic in Jeff's side of the story than what Mike told us. I mean sure, Mike doesn't need to go: "Well, he sucked so we threw him out of the band" but he made it seem much more "unfortunate" rather than it being a necessity at the time to take the next step. Which is obviously understandable with them being close friends.

    Wow that's quite a different reason. Thanks for explaining!

    Again we get the story of Mark's stage fright and since we still don't have the q&a with Jeff Blue online, there is a contradiction which I'm curious about. It might be possible that Mark suffered from stage fright which then impeded his performance which led to him getting kicked out of the band. But still I find it really interesting that Mike never mentioned anything close to what Jeff has written about in his book. Or put differently: Jeff never mentions stage fright.

     

    Thanks yor the write up and the cool infos!

    So what were Mark's reasons for leaving the band, according to Jeff?

    Thanks so much for this! The quality is simply fantastic

  6. I remember the OML setlist surprised me so much in the sense that they dropped some of the older stuff in favor of more new stuff. Like 7 OML songs, new version (and best in my opinion) of Leave Out All the Rest, The Catalyst, Lost In the Echo. Only thing that bugged me was that Wastelands was all that remained of THP. Anyway, it was a well balanced set!

  7. I think if they want to keep their fans engaged and keep the community alive they really have to put more effort into the new bundles. Just a few merch pieces won't do it any more, at least not for me. I've been active on LPU regardless, since there's a small community of regular members that keep the place alive a bit. But I can tell that the amount of activity has been decreasing drastically over the last few years. It just seems they're neglecting the community as a whole by putting out these generic merch bundles (without any special items like music).
