Really? Never noticed it does that in there before. I guess I never really misheard it because I tend to read those lyric booklets and on my piece it was printed correctly

It mentioned some copies also had Hysteria and Interlude printed the wrong way around and other misprints.

Wonder if any copies with these errors are still around.

My CD/DVD edition (with the different cover) has Hysteria and Interlude the wrong way round on the back cover, although I think that was the norm for that specific release

Oh I have a copy of Abso with that misprint, it's the AU/NZ version

Yeah I found an article on NME dated from then saying it was mainly those versions.

Must also be there too.

Wonder how an interlude going from Hysteria into Blackout would sound.

Shit, checked the copy, it's there

And I mean, I tried that order with simply making a playlist... it's goofy as hell, but I expected it to be even worse than what it was

Well, if you extend Interlude final note and make it crossfade with Blackout strings in the beginning, I think it works incredibly well. One of the main reasons is that the final note corresponds to Blackout key, which is Amaj.

Aw, it is indeed. My bad.
So, it doesn't flow perfectly into Blackout.

Thanks for opening this discussion thread! I am really excited to be supplied with the answers!

To this very fucking day I still hear "buff squid" instead of "birth squeeze" in New Born. I just can't shake it.
