Live at Wrigley Field Night 2

This is no better than N1. In theory it should be better—the setlist is stronger IMO—but the performances suffer from the same problems. For example, STAY OR LEAVE and DITCH are two typically quieter songs that really benefit from dynamics, but on this night they're absolute blowouts. #41 and LAST STOP, two of the band's best songs, sound like they're being played while Carter and Tim are on cocaine and heroin. Honestly, Carter and Tim are the main culprits of my disliking these shows so much; there's only so much banging and guitar crunching these songs (and I) can take. SQUIRM, a song that was generally excellent in 2010, is awful here; Dave's guitar is virtually nonexistent. SPACEMAN is a halting shit show. I can't even begin to understand what Dave was attempting to do with CAN'T STOP. And, and, and... enough already. Ironically, two of the least offensive tracks are two of the band's worst songs: SEVEN and TIME BOMB at least benefit from the constant racket. Hard pass.
