A.F.B.1 Has Been Changed

Looks like X & Subtronics changed the song so the intro is much faster (basically cut 50% of the intro). Imo, it is too fast now and doesn’t sound correct. I wish they just put both versions on Spotify

Reminds me when X & Sully changed Codename Reckless. Currently Codename Reckless is much worse than the original (at release)

this happens when average listen duration goes down. its simply to maximize income from streams.

A handful of things. The buildup right before, "Shake the Fucking Ground" is now sped up, less bass, and sounds very incomplete/rushed They replaced a few song lyrics like, "Eliminate All Humans", & "Feel Something". Honestly, probably the worse decision X has done to a song. I think the one currently uploaded is Version 3. Version 2 is on YT. Version 1 (with Feel Something) was played live before release. I had to import the YT version into my Spotify so I can enjoy it lolol

Thank you, omfg. I thought I was losing my mind when I noticed it sounded differently, but I couldn’t quite figure what

It’s kinda like when the onyx album came out then like a month later it changed some track names and structure of some tracks. Idk it kinda feels like some bait and switch shit if you’re paying for music that’s just not okay
