I agree with everthing you said. Although I'm not a fan of the effects in Major Minus, I really love these ones. They seem to fit the song, and I hope this backing track makes it into the studio recording! The harmonies in the backing track are beautiful. I love that bit you mentioned. I also really love the "So cold, so cold" and "Yes I feel al little bit nervous . . ."

I'm one of those in the minority that really loves the effects in MM -- I think they certainly fit the context of the song, in that it almost sounds like Chris is singing into a megaphone or over a telephone or whatever.

The live version is good and loud, and I'm glad there are things in each of the versions that I can pick out as favourites.

As of yet, I am still to be disappointed with anything they've released for this new era. The backing tracks suit each song pretty wonderfully, I think.

I agree. But I think Will should sing on Major Minus too. The End

i feel the same way! it totally fits in the theme of the Orwellian/oppressive establishment they were going for. if MX is indeed a concept album, i'll bet that Major Minus introduces the listener to said establishment

Still don't think HLH has effects... Maybe backing vocals or effects on the backing vocals. But I think Chris' lead vocals will be normal...

By effects I've always meant the backing track/vocals heard in the live versions. I fully expect Chris' voice to be normal and only be accompanied by the effects.

Whoever edited this is fantastic.
It's obviously taken from a live performance but they've absolutely pulled all the noise out of the parts and emphasised them to give us a clearer idea of how the final mix might sound without the crowd.

The only thing I dislike about Major Minus is the rough guitar before the chorus. Something else needs to be behind it.

I agree completely! I have yet to hear anything bad from this era.
