Yeah, it is. So it could be maybe The Other Fool or The Other Other Fool.

Or it could be something entirely different :lol:

[otherdemon]

As stated earlier in the thread:

– Bombproof – Leipzig '10

– Loneliness – Haarlem '09

– Wishing Well – Milan '09

– Landslide – Dresden '08

– KDH – Cologne '09

– The Alchemyst – Bremen '08

[otherdemon]

Yeah, The Visitant is basically a very bland, inferior version of ICU (Boinganoid) imho. The b-side however, the cover of Eagle's Son is pretty damn good.

[otherdemon]

A little bit of nitpicking: The original version of Wishing Well is in fact from the Starmelt EP :wink:

[otherdemon]

Yeah, that's Kenneth singing. He sang on All Is Loneliness also.

Quote:

The vocals: Guess they redid the one or the other in the studio but that's cool with me if you get such a result. If that is all sung live, respect!

It's pretty obvious they did some auto-tune on some of the vocals (esspecially Wishing Well, Bent is inches away from sounding like a smurf occasionally :lol: )

But they also did some "Jimmy Page-ing" in places: Replacing with parts from other performances. Case in point: The end of Wishing Well. If you check out the original Youtube-clip of it posted previously in the thread, you'll hear that Bent originally sang the ending lines quite sour. But on Roadwork 4, it's sung great and way different. So I think they cut in the ending from a different performance (maybe Winterthur Salzhaus 2 days earlier?) However, Wishing Well still rules!

Other than that, AWESOME SHIT! Great to have the Leipzig Bombproof in pristine quality. But I wasn't quite pleased with The Alchemyst, it felt a bit anti-climactic (esspecially when Snah started the flanger-effect on the guitar, everything drowned in a wall of sound) I also like Landslide, but then again Phanerothyme is my favorite pop-period album…

But for me, this is easily the best Roadwork volume this far :MPD:

Adressa review

Getting a bit tired of all the monster-related headlines, though.

[otherdemon]

They have played The Ace occasionally with Kenneth, too. I have a couple of bootleg versions of it.

[otherdemon]

A band called Two Cow Garage will be the support band in Bilbao

[otherdemon]

Yes, it's Bent. He drummed on all the Black Hole/Blank Canvas tracks except You Lose, where Jacco van Rooij was the drummer.

[otherdemon]

Yeah I'm leaning towards Haarlem myself now.

But there is no bootleg from Dresden '08, so we don't know how long Loneliness was that night.

So until I have it in my hands, I won't totally dismiss Dresden '08 :mrgreen:

[otherdemon]

Well,

– Bombproof is from Leipzig '10.

– Loneliness is Haarlem '09(on the Haarlem bootleg it segues into Cornucopia, a long segue though. They kept that segue).

– Wishing Well is from Milan '09 (there actually is an audience vid of this one).

– Landslide is from Dresden '08.

– KDH is from Cologne '09 (compared the bootleg version)

– So The Alchemyst must be Bremen '08 (simple elimination method :lol: )

Does that look sensible? :lol:

[otherdemon]

It doesn't say in the cover which song was recorded where?

[otherdemon]

That doesn't make sense. If both Kill Devil Hills & The Alchemyst are from Cologne 09, then there's one city too many in that list. Unless one of the songs is a combo of 2 different performances…

[otherdemon]

Ok, let's use the elimination method and eliminate which AIL-versions it can't be (with help from the bootlegs where available):
