This review is from: Megalomaniac Pt.2 (Audio CD)
There are 2 track cds, 2 cd sets and combined cds out there of this track, however all contain the common songs being
Megalomaniac (radio edit)
Monuments and melodies
Pistola (live)
Nowhere Fast (live)
some may also have the megalomaniac video which is great and cd 2 of the UK set may have the non radio edit.
As far as the songs go, being a radio edit really takes away from the impact of the song. Monuments and melodies is a nice song, a bit too sugary sweet but nice music and singing nonetheless.
The 2 live songs even though they were recorded at the same venue and show sound very different. Pistola has high quality written all over it and the song is pretty darn good too. Nowhere fast sounds very mufflled compared to pistola and would rate higher if not for the production.
Overall ok but nothing awesome.

You're no Jesus, August 7, 2006
This review is from: Megalomaniac Pt.2 (Audio CD)
Megalomaniac just might be one of the best songs to come off of A Crow Left Of The Murder, so if you're only interested in having that song with a few others sprinkled on for good measures, Pt. 2 just might be what you're looking for. Mega features some of Brandon's best vocals to date and is a nice step forward with the new addition of Ben. Each member plays a pivotal role in how the song came out and they did what they needed to do to make the song great. Pistola and Nowhere fast, the two live tracks, both recorded at Lollapalooza in 2003 are performed excellent as well. The video for Megalomaniac is featured also, and could just be my favorite video offered by the band. So whether you're a collector or just want the single instead of buying the entire CD, by all means check this out.
