Yeah, there are a lot of abrupt style changes, it makes sense that a lot of people wouldn't really feel it. Oh well.

Tbh, I dunno if this'd work unless the setlist included very few pieces pre-MTM. Strings can add an arbitrary level of sophistication to a song, but if it's over lyrics like "the memory won't escape me / but why should I care" then it'll just sound stupid. That said, I think LP could pull off a stripped down concert with a smaller string section.

This was the thing bugging me about that line. It's clever in theory, but it's also pretty silly. Now then, the 3D model for this one is fucking insane. I love it. If only the booklet hadn't been a waste of paper...

I really like the idea that Chester is cutting into the song when he's not supposed to, like Mike's broadcasting a message and Chester takes over for a minute before Mike regains control.

It's funny, that's one of the things that really irks me about STB, Chester's weird pronunciations of a lot of the weirds.

Chester's vocals are super buried on the Cyclefly track, though. Disappointed me when I listened to it.

Man I'm glad I posted my playlists, they all got deleted when my hard drive died. Cool playlists so far, I'm gonna have to try some of these out.

Can anyone hear the horns that are supposedly in Castle of Glass? I can't hear them at all. It says they're there in the booklet, though.

Is this like, any album in the whole catalogue? Because then it'd be the Spotify playlists. Otherwise, probably ATS.

imo the messenger was only bad on the album, the live versions are great I noticed that the stream cut Victimized and Roads Untraveled incorrectly, too. Personally I preferred the stream version with those two, I don't like the noises at the end of Victimized tacked onto RU.

I do that too, but I usually go with iTunes when I legit buy digitally.

Do people buy from Amazon MP3?

I really wish Warner Bros. hadn't waited until today to charge me...completely threw off my accounting because I thought they'd charged me right at the beginning. Fuck.

It feels like there are extra bars of music in Powerless, and an additional bar of percussion at the beginning of Tinfoil.

So was Lying from You.

Or, you know, right now. Because I got my digital download just now. Not that I'm actually downloading it. Passed it on to a friend because I have the fucking CD and I already ripped it.

And now to wait for download links for the stream.

That's some crazy fucking willpower.

Alright, I forgot that the stream was originally just the entire album in one track, and I guess someone else did the splitting. Thanks.

Is Mike's rap verse at the end of And One actually considered part of the song? Or is it like, an interlude of sorts just tacked onto the end of it? Seeing as they never played that part live, it made me wonder.

Hey, people with the physical album, have any of you noticed differences between the stream and CD versions of TINFOIL and POWERLESS? They both seem to be somewhat longer compared to stream versions. Specifically, TINFOIL's intro sounded different and POWERLESS had an extra bar of music at the beginning before Chester's vocals came in, and another extra bar before the second verse. Unless I'm just going crazy/hadn't listened to the songs enough.

The rankings for UIB are making me sad. I still love you, UIB.

Oops, I meant rhythm guitar. The beard played it while the hobo 'fro helped compose it.

Brad plays guitar and the beard does everything else.

Not surprised Amazon isn't doing it, Amazon does what it wants.
