    Well, many MTM demos have just released in LPU12 and everybody's saying that MTM could have been better. I say Hybrid Theory could have been MUCH better without Don Gilmore.
    We got many Hybrid Theory-era demos so you can choose from many-many songs.
    Here's my tracklist:

    1. Papercut
    2. With You (With the outro from "Dust Brothers")
    3. Points of Authority (With the "try to sink or swim" part from the demos)
    4. So Far Away
    5. Crawling (With the rap from the demo)
    6. She Couldn't (Without the 'Won't be long till everybody knows that")
    7. By Myself (Demo) (From the "Raw Power" CD)
    8. Untitled (With the chorus,bridge and the strings from the album version)
    9. Esaúl ( From "Hybrid Theory Demos")
    10. Rhinestone (From LPU12/HT Demos)
    11. Carousel (From 7 Track Demo)
    12. Cure For The Itch
    13. Pushing Me Away

    I second this.

    Even if I love Slip/Blue, and now So Far Away, I think LP made a perfect choice when selecting the HT songs

    I would replace Forgotten, One Step Closer, In The End, and By myself with So Far Away, She Couldn't, And One and Carousel

    The only thing I would change, and have changed on the playlist on my Ipod is adding in the "remix" of "High Voltage" right after "Cure For The Itch," because the intro to "High Voltage" is the outro to "Cure For The Itch." Also, I added "My December" after "Pushing Me Away." Those two tracks, I feel, were meant to be added on the record because of the Special Edition of the record. My two cents...

    But My December was written after Hybrid Theory, so you can't really put it in HT's tracklist.

    :facepalm:

    Hybrid Theory should have been like it is. Sorry, but I'm really tired of these threads.

    Well for starters, She Couldn't/Slip/Blue/So far away shouldn't be included mainly because they styles are so different to the rest of the tracks on HT.
    Also, And One/Carousel/Part of me shouldn't either for in my opinion the definitive versions on the EP are perfect the way they are.

    However, HT probably would have been absolute perfection if they kept the following alterations:

    1. Papercut
    2. One Step Closer
    2. With You
    3. Points of Authority + the "try to sink or swim" bridge from the demos
    5. Crawling + the "raindrops" rap from the demo
    6. Runaway
    7. By Myself
    8. In the End + the original Untitled lyrics
    9. A Place for my head + the original Esual Lyrics
    10. Forgotten
    11. Cure For The Itch
    12. High Voltage (reprise)
    13. Pushing Me Away

    Like Hybrid Said, High voltage (and maybe My December) should be the only tracks considered and included.

    Sorry, but for me it's not. It was fucked up by Don Gilmore and Warner just like Meteora. It could have been so much better.

    So, we gonna do this for every album now?

    I'd just drop Carousel as before CFTI. One of my LP faves.

    I don';t count songs as HTEP, they were on an EP, no reason to be on an album. HT was perfect the way it was

    I pretty much like it the way it is. But I wouldve liked the original rapping on crawling. I think the way he rapped those lines on the demo was really emotionally driven, while on the album it sounded really mastered and fake plus I loved the raindrops bit. Another thing I would do is take out Pushing Me Away and replace it with the acoustic version. I just think it sounds better.

    With Hybrid Theory, I actually like all of the final products more than their demos. :shrug:

    No revisions needed. It is a solid record that propelled itself to Diamond.
