Yup, that's what we have to live with. Probably better for the environment with less plastic being manufactured, but still annoying. And then you have opinions like this.
I got the zine and every time I Iook at my shelf I strongly consider just getting the regular CD for the sake of it fitting on the shelf rather than laid across the others. If we're on the topic of packaging inconsistencies, another pet peeve of mine is the inconsistencies in nomenclature for the LPU CDs. Drives me nuts the different numbering schemes and all, plus the fact that it's entirely unclear if the title is meant to just be "Underground X" or "LP Underground X" or "Linkin Park Underground X" or... I'm too used to strict title rules and matching with metadata from distributors...gah
I listened to More the Victim today and realized it sounds less like a Meteora demo and more like a From Zero song recorded twenty years early.
Wasn't that the song that they found in literal pieces and Mike put it together just for Meteora | 20? If so, it was put together while recording FZ. I could be getting it mixed up with Fighting Myself, though you could make the same case for that song, too.
That was Fighting Myself indeed, Chester vocals were found by accident by a guy from management (I think) and Mike put it all together at the time of Meteora 20
Did anyone who saw them live recently notice that the guitar tone on Two Faced really smacked the shit out of you when it came in? Was it just me? The whole show sounded great but the sound on the guitar in that song specifically felt like I was being electrocuted (complimentary).
I won't see them for another three months so I can't speak to that...but... I do find that funny because I know there's a contingent of fans who are very not pleased with Alex and his guitar tone and playing @Qwerty19 knows what I mean I bet
