  1. 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.

    Wow … they closed with Showbiz at Rock Werchter ! due to technical problems wirh KOC 🤭😀 

    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!

    We had the chance to have the band twice in Quebec City, 1 st show we had Verona, the 2nd we had Libebration

    Lucky we are 

    But my best is Ghosts. 

    Did you go both nights?

    Liberation is one of my least faves on the new album, but they are promoting their new album and should not kick it out of the setlist. People may not know the lyrics to .. hm … City of delusion, or Ruled by secrecy, but so what?? No problem with that, as long as they play it 😅

    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.

    The first rotation slot has gone through Bliss, Map, Citizen Erased and now New Born.

    The second has had Resistance and UD.

    You just know that Stockholm Syndrome is coming to that first slot 🤩 and Feeling Good will make an appearance in the second 😞.

    They’ve sound checked Dead Inside and Mercy, which might be candidates for the second slot as well.

    and Undisclosed desires 🤨 

    Not my first choice, but (almost) any song that rotates out Resistance is a great song.

    The multiple playback interludes had a lot to do with changing the stage set-up between songs.

     

    Of course, that makes sense. 

  9. 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… 

  10. 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.

    Hm that setlist is … nothing new?! I guess it will change for  North America and then for Europe, I hope so! 

    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. 

  12. 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.

  13. 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

  14. 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.
