Probably a minority too, but i always felt this song deserved all clean vocals. I never understood why y'all (periphery) decided to have Spencer scream that one part. I could understand that it flowed with the music, but i feel that Spencer definitely captured more emotion they way he sang that on the radio edit. <--(Ironicaly, when i heard y'all we doing a radio edit, the first thing i thought was "oh shit, they're cutting the screams out")
Also, Spencer is sounding a lot better IMO. I was very impressed with him on the self-titled, but i'm very happy to hear one of my favorite bands still surprising the hell out of me. I was seriously afraid the radio edit was going to make me hate this song.

I feel you haha, after spence wrote the singing part we were like man that part sounds so wasted with screaming. Though given how aggressive the riff was supposed to be im not surprised we all initially agreed that screaming would fit better.
Its kinda the way it goes though, when we hear a song we try to envision which parts would have singing and which ones would have screaming, and we just do our best based off of the vibe, im just glad we got a chance to revisit and improve this song further!

Beef Jerky Time
Jetpacks is my favorite song on the album, so I was worried I might not like it. But it's really well done. I'm not too crazy about the section from 3:06 to 3:20 where Spencer is singing "in round" with himself, but I love the rest of it.
I was sort of hoping the video would just be an epic fight between George Michael and Tobias the Mole.

Fuck yeah - to the dude that thought he was in the minority in wanting more clean vocals, I'm definitely in your camp too. Anyone can write metal riffs (although Periphery does it much better than most 
), the true thing that sets them above so many of their peers is their melodic sense. Dudes make killer melodies, and I would have said it would be impossible to make the song better than the album version...until I heard the radio edit. Awesome shit.

Sweet! Im so glad you guys dig the song/vid!
Yeah i guess that was the basis behind removing the screaming in the first place (though if it had sounded worse or compromised we definitely would not have done that and just said FUCK IT! METALLLL!!!1)
But its cool that it worked out, because this is like the song my gf can show her friends out work without worry, you have to understand that the grand majority of people dont listen to and arent exactly ready for metal, let alone screaming in a song...

At first I was a little "Oh ok, sad guy doing his shit, not so special, good thing the shoot of the guys is good." then the building tumbling part kicked in and it kicked ass. The radio version is all kinds of godly.

As I'm somewhat a scream (or any unclear vox) hater this version of Jetpacs melts my heart every time. For me it feels like wasting if you have a singer like Spencer (I adore everything in his voice) and he's not singing every bit of vocal parts in the piece.
Also loved the arrangement in every way. For me this is the pop song of the album (along with ow my feelings).

There can be only one..... Mishdongles - The Highlander!
Seriously, is this single going to be made available bro? I bought 3 copies of the album, hook it up!
Or conversely, iTunes download perhaps? I LOOOOOVE this version of the song, have 2 trips this weekend and would love to listen to it on repeat in the car if possible!
