headztrong Posted Thursday at 12:58 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:58 PM Pains me to say that this is terrible. Whatever, just another mistake in an awfully managed era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burqa Posted Thursday at 01:12 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:12 PM the cover is so lazy the album shoot had like a million different sets and we only got 10 pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Fey Posted Thursday at 01:16 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:16 PM Oh ok Anything For Love definitely a disappointment I assumed they turned it into a proper song....but they just repeat the verse one more time and end it after that. Yeah, apart from liking the few moments that showcase the production (I love the way the guitar gets some time to shine in EOAE, like the piano in TS does), idk if these will end up replacing the originals for me. But as someone who hasn't heard RO in a while, this did make me appreciate the album a bit more Club Radical Optimism next please Need another summer workout album like CFN was.

tellyourfriends Posted Thursday at 01:18 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:18 PM I'm really into this extended thing, BUT the production doesn't seem well executed to me. It's giving "let's play with those stems and call it a day." Some parts sound and feel so random. It's a good concept, but it's not giving what it should, in my opinion. (still glad we got some new content) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burqa Posted Thursday at 01:26 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:26 PM this kinda feels like a missed opportunity to give the album what everyone collectively thought it lacked: climax, adlibs, crazy breakdowns like the one that houdini or illusion have. like yes sometimes the psychedelic elements were hidden in the instrumental and these versions let them shine but it still feels like it could be so much more. but then i guess if she did that people would complain about these versions not being the main ones 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burqa Posted Thursday at 01:28 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:28 PM my ranking (in terms of how much i think the extended version elevates the song or it's pointless) 01 houdini 02 illusion 03 french exit 04 happy for you 05 whatcha doing 06 maria (some parts are a bit clunky, the ending is quite abrupt) 07 training season (last chorus is a mess) 08 end of an era 09 anything for love (no comments) 10 falling forever (such a waste of a great song) 11 these walls (og felt so long already) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marceau Posted Thursday at 01:38 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:38 PM (edited) The new extended versions are useless. They're just extended to be extended (sometimes the cuts are awful). Only the extended versions of the singles are worthy of something. I like every single song in their original form, but what's missing from this great album is 2 more songs to bring it to a perfect length and overall form.

ahauntingnearu Posted Thursday at 01:38 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:38 PM Does EOAE's bridge instrumental come out more? Does HFY's instrumental in the bridge or outro shine / extend a little more? Does HL's second and third chorus backing vocals come out any better? Those were the only three I cared about for an extended mix tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Null Posted Thursday at 02:12 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:12 PM Ok, so what we're not gonna do here is trash AN EXTENDED ALBUM for BEING EXTENDED VERSIONS. Are you people insane? I love the showcase of production here. A lot of the elements not noticeable in the final mix can shine a lot brighter - love it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
