  1. Resistance and USoE, most likely, right? Thanks newsbot, I didn't actually know about this yet!
  2. I didn’t know it would be released in Atmos 3D on Amazon music! Gonna go home and try it on my system later, looking forward to it. As for the bonuses and extras… Meh. I like stripped down RBS. The B&H single was released with some fun gimmicky software to remove tracks back in the day, so everyone created the without-guitar version back then already. I’ve heard many great live versions of all of these songs. They were at their peak then as a three piece, so it’s nice to hear what they’ve included, but it’s nothing I haven’t heard before or will sit down to listen to again. The Hysteria demo is an interesting peek into the song’s development. I haven no idea why that FAWY demo is included.
  3. I'll give those demo versions and stripped down versions a listen when they appear online. Everything else is a big meh from me.
  4. This is the most exciting thing that happened in years! Made me come back to the board just to say it. It’s a bit sad that the shows have become such that spontaneous moments like this are years apart. But good to know they can still whip up a classic and play like the three piece band they once were, without choreography or rehearsed theatrics. I want so much more of that please!
  5. The bench is turning out to be pretty solid this season. Too bad only two subs are allowed per game. Citizen New Born Stockholm Pressure Assassin Bliss MotP Resistance Undisclosed Desires Liberation
  6. It’s not so much that Liberation sucks, it’s that Verona is one of the best things they’ve done in a long time and they don’t seem to know it. If they kick out Thought Contagion and replace it with Liberation then there’s no harm done.
  7. Hmmmm. Swapping Verona for Liberation is not a good move.
  8. They’ve sound checked Dead Inside and Mercy, which might be candidates for the second slot as well.
  9. Not my first choice, but (almost) any song that rotates out Resistance is a great song.
  10. Citizen yesterday. Looks like there’s one rotation slot then?
  11. This video perfectly captures why I don’t go to American stadium shows. Those venues and crowds are just a fun vacuum.
  12. A mixed bag… Thought Contagion, still? Resistance, again? And an absolute record number of instrumentals, interludes, filler fluff and voice breaks. At least I assume is Matt’s voice that needs a break. Why else would this happen? -interlude -drill sergeant -Kill or Be Killed remix -interstitial ‘parkour’ -isolated system - the Dark Side Instrumental -interstitial ‘driving’ -behold the glove -Prelude -simulation theory theme. I mean…
  13. Remember the disappointment in the old days when sometimes one or more of the b-sides to a new single would not be new songs, but rather a barely listenable remix of the a-side? That has become the standard.
  14. Bliss rotated in this time! It might feel like they’re neglecting WOTP songs a bit, but I think that would be fixed by playing just one more song of the album. Euphoria feels like it’s this album’s Blockades/Defector/Big Freeze, so it’ll probably pop up once or twice. I can see why they don’t play Ghosts, though it should be possible to give it a place in a large stadium production, with everyone singing along. Matt could open the encore solo with this one. I don’t care for Liberation myself, but swapping it for Thought Contagion wouldn’t be a bad move. And finally they should really put some effort into making Verona work. Ruled by Secrecy was great live, if they can make that work, they can make Verona work. I’m not sure what’s keeping them, it’s one of their best songs.
  15. Yeah, I would have thought after the hiatus and at the proper start of the tour they’d create a brand new WOTP tour setlist. But this is like the pre-theater tour festival sets. I don’t quite understand. Mexico deserves better than Thought Contagion.
  16. Yeah, that was to be expected. Still with the glove though...
  17. We got a New Year’s email. I’ve got nothing against a band pushing some product, but this line struck me as insulting: “Special guests include Evanescence, Royal Blood, One OK Rock and Highly Suspect in select markets.” When a band starts referring to their tour destinations as “markets”, it’s time to stop going to shows altogether. Yes, I know, I’m sure the band has nothing to do with these marketing emails, but Jesus Christ, fire them all if this is how they promote a band that pretends to be outraged by capitalism. *Shakes head* Fucking markets.
  18. Dutch lyrics submitted for duet with (insert talented singer): Now and then My mind drifts to a place where I find you Lost in my head There are unsolved feelings that haunt me It's too late to heal I'll lay them to rest How can I move on When everyone I see still talks about you? How can I move on When all the best things I have we made together? Here's to letting go But I am lost in a void with your ghost and our memories Lest we forget The great reset Als je terugkwam dan Zei ik de woorden die ik je nog moest vertellen Ik maakte het goed En jij zou me dan kussen en ook vergeven Ik weet dat het niet kan Ik laat je gaan En hoe ga ik nou door Als iedereen om me heen over you blijft praten? En hoe moet ik nou door Als het beste in mij door ons samen gemaakt is? Ik moet je laten gaan Maar 'k zit hier vast met je ziel en het beeld van ons samen Ik ben zo bang Dat ik ons vergeet How can I sleep with this coldness beside me? How can I sleep with this coldness inside me? I know I can't bring back your love How can I move on When everyone I see still talks about you? How can I move on When all the best things I have we made together? Here's to letting go But I am lost in a void with your ghost and our memories Lest we forget The great reset
  19. Yeah, a little disappointing that this duet is just adding the second singer’s vocals to the already existing song. But I suppose the vocals for a lot of duets aren’t recorded with both singers in the same studio simultaneously. Would be great if they get to do this live together on a few stops this tour. It reminds me of those Laura Pausini duets from the 90s. I could see this getting some radio play. For sure in Italy, but maybe beyond as well.
  20. This has been bugging me for weeks. How did you post this?
