Title: Ego, Opinion, Art & Commerce Question!
Post by djgeneral on Jun 29^th, 2007, 9:52pm

Could someone list the differences to all the songs on here?

like extra melodies, new vocals, completely re-done, remixes, etc.

thanks

The original "Two Days in February" included "street sounds" (such as cars driving by), and the version on EOAC does not have that.

"Acoustic #3" on EOAC includes the addition of strings played by Rasputina; the original version had no strings.

In "Bulletproof" there are differences in who's singing the background vocals, for instance it sounds like Robby's singing backup on one version, but not on the other.

Plus you get the Naked remix with the different (better) intro. And the early songs are volume adjusted. And one of the SSCW songs has a weird remix with chimey noises in it (I think it's Cuz You're Gone)

Two Days in Feb. was originally recorded live outdoors and it's acoustic, but on the re-recorded version, John uses a semi-acoustic and I think there might be an accordian in it.

Acoustic #3 had strings originally, but the extended EOAC version has a part with a string solo.

In Bullet proof, hte instruments are more pronounced, I think. It sounds better in my opinion.

Do you have iTunes? If so, you can listen to the samples of the remixed songs next to the samples of the originals.

Well I actually have all of their CDs, but I was just curious, because in some of the songs on the CD, I wasn't sure if they were changed. I did notice the new vocals in Bullet Proof, the extra stuff in Acoustic #3 and the shorter (single?) version of Naked, but that was basically all I noticed.

So the rest are bascially just louder?

There is a difference in most of the songs, but I guess "difference" mean differently to different ppl. I know that when it first came out, lots of us were fighting each other and arguing over it.

In general, I have to say it's the same, but if you really sit there and listen to it, you'll hear the differences....differences that most ppl probably don't care about. However, after listening it for a while and going back and forth from old to new CD, I find myself liking the older versions.

One difference that i'm not sure if anybody mention is "fallin down". Had added acoustic at the beginning.

I thought that when they were making a remix, I thought it was gonna be like hip hop remix...brand new songs.
