I really liked Apache, Foot Patrol, and Basquiat. That psychedelic "chorus" in the first one....great! Instrumentally, I prefer the final version of LITE compared to Holding company. It feels more epic overal. Repetitive synth in hemisphere annoyed me, but the song had a cool bass sound. Not really a fan of Three Band Terror. The song is good and has quality, Brad singing is surprisingly good, but at the end of the day, it sounds like something I've already heard a lot of times. Granted, I'm not a fan of acoustic guitar song And about the "Meteora was originally going to be way different" comments: there's no proof of that. When the band was working on demos like Halo and Cumulus, they were also working on demos like A-Six or Broken Foot or SIB at the same time. I mean...yes, some of the demos sounded like a little departure from HT sound, but others did not. It's not like every demos they were working on at the time were totally different. To me, it's clear that in every case, Meteora would have ended up with a sound more or less similar to the version we got.
OH! Pretty cool! Well.. Yes, the vocals are very emotional.... not. It's funny how some dudes can destroy Mike's beauty.
Basquiat sounds amazing, sounds dark, it has that MTM feeling, but for me the tracklist of MTM is fine as it is.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but after listening to Three Band Terror: Let Brad take care of all the guitars in the next album. Make it all acoustic. I don't care. Three Band Terror feels wasted at the end of Until it Breaks now. So good. Oh yeah, rest of the album was nice too.
I woke up in the middle of the night for it and now I'm sleepy the whole day... Doesn't matter, had LPU13.
Someone should do a mashup with the three Until It Breaks demos, then we can have a lengthy and ultimate version of the song. Also, Brad. Seriously, stop slacking around and put your skills on the next album. Three Band Terror is too good!
Stand out for me are Holding Company and Cumulus,really like those tracks. Another year and this demo still nowhere to be found [video=youtube;rIC_alc8mUo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIC_alc8mUo[/video] I hope it will end up on some album in the future.
Holding Company" (2011 demo) Apaches" ("UNTIL IT BREAKS" demo) There is no word , that Holding Company would be the 'real demo' of LITE . Anyway this album is not so good as the previous one , but i really like Basquiat, Hemispheres and Cumulus - and Primo of course . I just realised , i've heard Primo more times than Victimized .
