    Definitely a better live song... faster, more aggressive, vocals sound better raw

    Studio recording feels a little slow and loses the anger a bit.

    The studio recording sounds like a rough mix or something. Just awful. It's fine live though.

    Live>Studio but still hopefully not the best they have to offer on the next album.

    I agree. It's actually a pretty damn good tune. I hope if it's on the new record (assuming there is one) that they re-record this song. I'd be fine with it if they can make a studio version sound like it does here.
