Victoroy Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet (probably has) but I searched for a thread about this and couldn't find one so here it goes. I found on youtube and I was surprised at how many changes the song went through :O is it a good thing or a bad thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juuso Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I think it's commonly agreed upon that the live original(s) were average/good whereas the studio version is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeLulz Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I don't understand all the hate on Exo Politics, because i really like it. I prefer Exo-Politics and i much prefer the lyrics to Timescale Keepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer Exo-Politics and i much prefer the lyrics to Timescale Keepers.It's not much of a song really. Everything is simplified and there's not even any interesting effects used. The singing doesn't go anywhere and the lyrics are really fucking awful. When it comes after City of Delusion, it's like dropping from a first world country to a third world one.

Victoroy Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 actually I think City of Delusion is too over the top Exo-Politics at least has a catchy riff and chorus. but that's not even the topic we're supposed to be on here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo-215 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 The drum beat was certainly better in early live versions. i like the album version more though, i like the lyrics better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralDale Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I like the album version more, I love conspiracies so the lyrics are my cup of tea ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skymovessideways Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 When it comes after City of Delusion...Which it definitely doesn't, on any edition of the album. I like Exo. It's forgettable but nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiiikes Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I love them both. Two similar versions of the same great song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juuso Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Which it definitely doesn't, on any edition of the album. I like Exo. It's forgettable but nice. Eh, meant it the other way around. The point still stands, even if reversed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*OoS* Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 All of the 2005 live versions of BHaR-era tracks were vastly superior to the studio, revised versions, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I've never understood the hate towards Exo-Politics on the album...the lyrics are fine, the chorus is pretty powerful. I do much prefer the lyrics on Burning Bandits though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never hated Exo-Politics, and I often play along to it, but it really isn't good compared to the original 2005 version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
