    I thought it was a great performance. I think there was a problem with the audio on Mike's side. Maybe that's what threw you off. And I think Eddie's voice sounded good. I knew there was gonna be post/s like this but oh well.

    I do agree that Ed's voice is drowned out by Matt's a little. It sounds good and I can't wait to hear WWS at each of the 6 shows i'm going to.

    Stoked to see PJ out and about again, but I am also having lukewarm reactions to the songs. WWS has grown on me, but first listen to severed hand not so excited. I know most of the album is fast, and I believe they only have to slow tempo songs on this album, so I hope they all grow on me.

    I don't know why people judge the sound quality of tv performances, First off, the bands sound crew has absolutely nothing to do with the sound feed going for the televison, thats run by the SNL people, which is why almost every band that plays on tv sounds totally off, wait till they place thier own shows with thier own sound crew, then thier true sound will come through.

    By the way the performance was pretty good id say. Never seen them with that much energy for a long time. Past few years has been them just standing there in one spot playing, so it was good to see that older engery again.

    for the first time they played either song live, I thought it was amazing. Severed Hand... wow. Snl was for the masses, their concerts for the fans are going to be so much better, especially sound quality. I knew mike was soloing, it was just miserably toned down. Oh well, Cant wait for SF 1 and 2.
    Here's to hoping the next album is along the lines of No Code

    Matt has finally found his place in the band! The backing vocals added great harmonics to Ed's singing.

    This is about the only thing I agree with you on. It's a derivative song, but I don't think it's bad.
    I actually don't feel the entire album lives up to the expectations placed upon it by all of this hype over the last few months. Certainly not rocking enough to compare with Ten like they've tried.
    As far as the performance, they did the best they could on the one stage in late-night television known to have horrible sound. I don't know how or why, but even the best live bands sound kinda rough on that stage.
    As for Matt, you're just flat out nuts to have issue with him. It's true, Ed needs to "warm up" his voice lately at the beginning of tours. But the fact is he's ruining his vocal chords and needs some support as time goes on. And I think Matt did a phenomenal job doing so. I hope it's a trend that continues as Ed's voice further weakens.

    Again, I really like "Severed Hand', and I do hear a bit of "Insignificance" though I think you are definitely stretching to say that it has the exact some breakdown. Ultimately, though, I'm in the similar boat as you. The only difference is I actually like the new stuff, but I too am a bit baffled at the outpouring of love for the songs here and at TheSkyIScrape. I think a lot of it is people reacting to the energy of the new stuff instead of the actual songs.

    Of course, I only recently fell in love with Binaural songs like "Breakerfall", "Grievance", and "Rival". It'll probably be the same way with this new album. However, I don't see myself ever liking "WWS".
