fountain Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 I think I prefer the original to be honest. It’s not bad though, if this was a new song I’d be floored

LoveInStereo Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 I'm cool with these remasters because it's not like they're getting rid of the old versions so it's just bonus content... but they basically got rid of everything about the OG that made it fun. I liked how dated it sounds.

I agree that Insomniatic doesn't sound dated, however PBS and Like Whoa are easily the two worst produced songs on that record in my opinion. Flattery, Closure, Blush, I'm Here, Silence, Bullseye, and Division all outsold. Besides, they don't get like anything from Hollywood Records and given how poorly they were treated I think reclaiming some of their songs that are doing somewhat well on TikTok is a great strategy and commendable. I mean, I get it, I get the whole nostalgia thing but I really appreciate what they are doing here. I will concede on PBS as I can understand why some people don't approve of the re-recording's choices, but Like Whoa is just in a whole different league now. The electric guitar elements are so much crisper and have such a nice quality to them, and obviously the vocals are stronger. But I also like love you so it's good

Although I would love to have the whole record re-recorded because most of the gems of the album are album cuts that don't have the right recognition they deserve (I'm Here, Silence, Insomniatic). Also Flattery is their BEST SONG EVER. Their second best song ever is Stomach.
squishy Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 Idk why but it sounds kind of out of tune to me? Like the chorus
RadioactiveLights Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 They should just do complete reworks of their three HWR albums (yes, including 78violet).

It would cost more than it's worth unfortunately. I mean, don't get me wrong I would love an Insomniatic (Revisited) but they have to fund everything themselves from touring, music videos, studio time, etc. and given that they are finishing up their next record I'm sure it just wouldn't be pragmatic

Honestly instead of wasting time and money re recording songs that are fine as they are and available they should be working on giving us that scrapped third aly and aj album and getting that hothouse record on streaming services under their name.

He leaked the entire album after they decided to shelve it and said some condescending comments I believe. If they were ever to officially release it, he would get a lot of the royalties which I'm sure they wouldn't really want
