Let me start off saying mistakes is not a bad word by any means in this thread. It's meant to give the notion that these songs are so fresh to the band, and so raw, that things were captured that make the song unique, the energy and adrenaline of something so exciting to the band will overwhelm your ability to completely concentrate and play everything perfectly AS WELL AS not having to do so many takes and keeping everything cookie-cutter and polished.

Not gonna contribute at the current moment - kinda tired, but wanted to throw this out there for you late night people and oversea'ers.

*EDIT* After being away for just a few hours - i find it more fun just to read each reply so let's leave it at that haha...good job guys!

    I'll add, for my own pleasure:

    On Mirrorball, the song "Downtown", someone (I think it's Stone) says, "I think I fucked up, let me just play the groove for a minute."

    And that's how the song starts. Awesome.

    Maybe not really "mistakes", but a few things I've found odd

    VS - Rearviewmirror - 1:14 - 1:20...what's up with the calluses on the fingers scraping on the strings?

    Pearl Jam - Severed Hand 2:50 - 3:00, what's with the beeping sound coming from the guitar?

    See i would say a mistake would be something like a dead note, or something that just doesnt go with the overall flow of a song. Like the beeping on severed hand sounds like it belongs, it is not random, its kinda like consistant, Which to me would mean it was planned.

    At the end of Rearviewmirror, the drummer throws his sticks against the wall. It's because he hated the ending of it (since he couldn't get it right) so when he did, he threw the sticks against the wall.

    There's tons of stuff we can hear on a lot of the songs..

    there's definitely a clunker of a dead note in Release. forget where exactly, but i figure it's a pretty obvious one.

    The intro riff to Immortality; the 4th time through, Ed half-mutes the 4th note.

    Dave A was pissed off cause they had done shitloads of takes and couldnt get the song right, so at the end of the recording he throws his drumsticks in frustration against the wall. they ended up using that very take/recording and then apparently Dave A threw his drums off a cliff or something lol.

    I always thought there was a mistake in Satan's Bed at the end of the second chorus where there is an extra "Already in love..." in the background right before Ed sings "It's torture... follows reward..." Just the way he kind of leads into the torture part with a little laugh makes it seem like he was acknowledging the mistake...

    It fits right in with the rawness of the song, though, so I'm not sure "mistake" is the right word. Of course, I could also be completely nuts...
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    It's probably not a "mistake" as such... but what's with the errant whistle in the second verse of Given To Fly?
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    That beeping in Severed Hand is definitely supposed to be there. Yeah it's weird but it's a song about acid what do you expect.
