More the Victim barely hitting 5 million streams was due to the bad idea of not making Lost demos a separated “album”. Good decision.

They are putting together the show and they will put it out (source: they responded to my comment on IG lol).

I bet we’ll get something small like a full show on steaming and something like that, dealing with Jay Z has to be a nightmare in terms of copyright and stuff like that

sounds pretty cool

80 million streams on Spotify in 3 fucking months. At this pace, it will easily crack 300 million by the end of the year

Just hope they don’t make new music as Grey Daze with Cris on vocals. I’d be against it 100%. But they are not idiots, I hope.

Yeah it’s pretty clear that Lost new mix sounds like LT/THP (thinking of UIG) more than HT/M.

Lol, it’s not that bad, I mean, it’s not something I would revisit often but it’s not the generic 2010s EDM remix I was scared it could be

It’s a nice remix, nothing I’ll come back to often, but it’s cool. Very cinematic

Agree on pretty much everything, this release was much more similar to a real new record than HT20, the singles were actual “new” songs never heard before, the press they did was more album - like with the guys hyping up the songs like they did with the 7 albums, while with HT20 it was all a bit sad and we/they were still mourning his loss… I remember the sadness in Mike’s eyes reacting to the unreleased show, this time around he was like “guys Fighting myself is the definitive LP song you’ll love it. Check out more the victim, it’s amazing Chester sounds amazing” … a different atmosphere. But obviously the main difference was that this time around we got at least 5 songs that were almost as good as the album ones, the “holy grails” on HT20 were interesting demos but far from being eligible for the album.

Totally this !! Love the relatability of the lyrics, so grounded and concrete

Seoul 2003 set is GREAT: My December in the encore, APFMH where Chaz goes fucking wild in the bridge, Nobody’s Listeing in full, FTI and Faint one by one, the extra scratch on With You intro, Pushing me away remix … I love it

Think we should be happy for what we got, we literally have 6 new songs.

lol no I would not be enjoying M20 so much if I were him 😂

It’s charting like a new album would. I love it.

Mine arrived 2 weeks ago.

Meteora 20 is currently #8 in Australia and #9 in Japan

Massive is the proof that heavy LP with Mike on vocals can be a thing, like some sort of Mark the Graves

That one is great, I just wish the vocals were a bit louder, but it’s amazing it got full vocals, even if they are a reference to Chester. Amazing

Going to debut n. 3 in UK and selling 27k first week in U.S. https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/ellie-goulding-eyeing-fourth-number-1-album-with-higher-than-heaven__39014/ https://kworb.net/charts/apple_a/us.html

The more they promote stuff, the more they make me happy. More the victim is a fucking banger

https://kworb.net/ww/ "Did you guys expect to have 6 of the Lost demos in the Itunes Top 50?" Resolution and Massive being there is NUTS

Thoughts on the Lost demos: the famous 4 “new” songs with Chester on vocals are AMAZING, More the victim being probably my favorite, a bit more unique than the others but all of them are great. Massive is amazing wish it was completed, instrumentally is freaking insane, that bridge. Husky is cool, I kinda like the vibe of the verses a bit more than HTF. Cool to have it, same for Plaster 2, the solo is so cool. A6 is cool with finally some vocals, but it was a little bit a let down because we all expected the “just track it out, remember” . It’s nice. I love Cuidado, so raw and gritty, it misses the carnival sample but i love this instrumental. I don’t see myself coming back to interrogation and faint, nice demos but kinda what I expected, nothing that freaks me out. I like the piano on Interrogation a lot and the extended riff In Faint. Shifter is the weirdest LP demo ever, love how it is totally different from the final version vocally, sounds like Staind at times 😂 Wesside is cool, except for the Meteora like typical riff the rest sounds nothing like nu metal LP (almost ATS ish) and I love that. Only issue I have is that it’s a bit too long for my taste for being an instrumental. Resolution: cool to have a more complete version of Wizard song, but I am not a big fan of Mike’s Xero rap style here. Nice but not something I will listen to very often. All in all, solid release ! It’s like a double LPU and maybe the best one we ever got.
