The arrangement behind the vocals of the chorus makes the song feel a bit flat. It's just like a garage band version or something. Idk how to describe it, but my impression has always been that the 10th anni version is severely less energetic and soaring than previous versions.
I agree totally here. Also, garage band in the sense of the software - soulless, mechanical, just kinda "there." Every garage band I've ever heard has maybe been off-rhythm or off-key, but at least they have some freaking energy.
