This is the official version of The Heart Gently Weeps. It sounds like they did a different mixdown from the version that was released on Loud.com two weeks ago. This mix sounds radically different to me.
They threw a leslie on the rhodes, and it sounds like they re-did the drums. The parts are a little more elaborate now, they're harmonized a bit better, and the solo parts even sound different. Everything sounds much brighter now, perhaps a little too bright for my personal taste. Sounds a little too acoustic, too clean, like they stripped the meaty Wu grit from it.
Wu needs grit, imho.
I guess this will be the radio version because it's a clean edit. It'll probably still be huge, but this is one of those tracks where the well-placed cursing adds to the tune, and cutting them out takes a huge part of the feeling away--especially on Ghost's verse. Nevertheless, enjoy.
