And the instrumentation does get a bit repetitive and makes it seem long.
Originally posted by vanquish:Firstly, are they going to speed up his singing live as well?
Secondly, the fact that GOYB is varied makes it more interesting that NLOTH2 which is repetitive and at 4 minutes starts to drag, if it was 3 mins 20 like GOYB it would be better.
Hopefully the album version has more of a buildup and isn't so repetitive.

Why/ how will they do that? I only mean that NLOTH2 is speeded up. The album version is not like that (too slow it seems in comparasion, me thinks).
For me, and I'm sure I'm not alone on this, GOYB seems much longer than it's acctually is. 3 minutes would have been more than enough. NOLTH2 is a much more fresch sounding song and is by far better. 4 minutes but feels like 2½.
Boots 5.5/10
NL2 7.5/10

Boots sounds fresher to me and too short; NLOTH 2 goes on a bit too long, and the melody and guitar riffs, which are great, get drowned in the drums.
