This one tops the cake. Worst thread I've read in a long time. I actually can't believe the stupidity of what I'm reading.

Live is at their best when they perform live, and if you look at the albums that Live has actually released, I believe that THIS IS THEIR BEST ALBUM to date

You cannot be serious. This mis-matched, ultra rough compilation shouldn't even be in consideration for best album.

I'm not going to quote your response to each song, since all of your descriptions are pretty much equally ridiculous.. but I had to respond to some

4. I Alone: I think this is Live's most overrated song, but again it rocks, especially in concert. This is one of the best versions of I Alone out there and it is much better than the TC track

It just is. Is this so? I don't know why you keep saying it, but you can't make a claim that all these songs are 'much better than the album versions' without backing it up with any objective reasoning whatsoever.

5. Lakini's Juice: This cd keeps getting better. Lakini's Juice is totally awesome, but Lakini's Juice live is the shit. "GET THE FUCK UP!". Listen to the difference between the SS version and the RS version. It blows SS out of the water, which is hard to do since it already rocks!

I'm very tired so maybe I'm missing the point... is this thread a joke??? Honestly...


9. Sweet Release: This is the best version of this song that I have ever heard and it is one of my favorite Live songs. It completely blows the studio version out (which again is hard to do) and if it were released as a single like this after Heaven it would have been all over the airwaves. Fucking awesome song (an iPod must).

You actually believe that a Live version of what is essentially not even a very well written song would have been all over the airwaves??

Lmao at 'an ipod must'.


It has a great sound

This coming from someone who would completely dismiss one whole channel of a two channel recording. Yeah.. I don't think your opinion is credible here.

Album Summary: This is simply the best complete album Live has ever released. Almost every song on this album is an upgrade over the studio version, and even the songs that aren't my favorites in studio really shine on Radiant Sea. Many of the versions on this album are the best versions of the songs I have ever heard. The quality of the live recordings are fantastic. The two new songs on the album are a great addition to the Live library, and if you do not have them yours is not even close to complete.

Ultimate fan-boy material.

They seriously should drop the studio and record everything in concert!


Great line.



I cannot believe that you actually completely do not understand the album format. Some bands (probably not Live anymore) put so much time in to creating an album as an album! Not just some collection of songs, they're actually supposed to be listened to in the order in which they are presented. The 'ipod age' is ruining this, taking away the artwork and all of the extra things that you get with a physical copy of the cd. And now you think some shitty compilation thrown together no better than what a fan could do is Lives best album? One that wasn't even available to purchase through ordinary means?

I agree with you Alex.

McPheezy would rip this moron a new asshole. Not that the neighborhood homos haven't done it to him already.

It's funny to watch people misconstrue what they like as fact. "It's the way it is" he says! I just gotta laugh and assume that he's some little uneducated geekboy with no future and no friends. Speaking of sound, he actually sounds like some mindless Britney Spears fan who jumps up and down every time he hears a new song. Fucking sad.
