Great topic, I also love MJY demo.
I prefer "Where The River Goes" on MJY demo! I think it is really more energetic and much more emotional.
"Core" version sounds dry and too slow, does anyone else find it too?
At first, I was listening to MJY demo for 1-2 months, having not listened to "Core" version yet.
And after demo, I couldn't listen to album version!! It sounds just too slow, don't know why.
By the way, on concerts this song was played pretty faster, probably twice faster than album version.
Also I love more demo version "Naked Sunday"!
I think the album version is overproduced, and the vocals on demo are truly exciting!
The Scott's vocal there is raw, very strong, a bit rough, in my opinion it's great.
Scott's vocals in its best, probably.
