"Instrumental VS. Album Version #1"

Okay. Here's how it goes.

We have the categories:

□                                □
Album Version        Instrumental Version

And we have the checking system.

■ yay
□ nay

When the box is black, yay. When the box is clear, nay.

And now we have our contenders.

No offense to the original version.

But the instrumental pwns.

I wasn't entirely a fan of this sing until I heard the instrumental version on Myspace, and then I was sold. The keyboard got a little pitchy in some places, but still - it's one of those songs that immediately turns awesome when made a karaoke version.

Not that I would do karaoke.

I have better things to do.

Most of the time.


New Divide by Linkin Park

Don't get me wrong. I absolutely LOVE the album version of this song. It's amazing. Awesomely amazing. Awesomely epically amazing.

Yes. I said it was epic.

But why did I check Instrumental Version over Album Version?

Because the album version is just epic.

The instrumental version is an epic.

When I listen to the instrumental version, I picture a Naria-esque battle scene with intense violence and some minor 300 Movie midtones.

I envision a final battle to the death between Spiderman and Venom on top of a skyscraper, and Spidey slowly weakening as Venom grows stronger and stronger, and a cliffhanger as our friendly neighborhood Spiderman takes a plunge from the top of the building.

Over-thinking much?

A little bit.

But, really. Check them out. Am I right. Am I wrong?

What do you think?
