Now, everyone is used to the live versions and anything that doesn't have that same vibe, is a problem...
Just wait to you hear the entire song from start to finish in HQ/FLAC before making your final judgement... Everyone wanted Jon to retire when Knockout was released now everyone loves it along with all the other songs... You guys gotta give shit a chance...

I'd tend to agree if the snippets were the usual 30 seconds AND we didn't already know the direction the songs were going in due to the live versions.
But snippets at 1m 30s which include 2 chorus' (Roller Coaster) can surely be judged fairly accurately?
I stand corrected on I Will Drive You Home - I heard a 30s clip and dismissed it as filler. The longer snippet on iTunes reveals it to be far better. (But again, I had no idea of the direction the song would take as there is no live version)
