he sounds better on private music for sure, especially in terms of how he’s placed in the mix. I’d also have to guess that Nick probably uses more tuning in his vocal processing, whereas Terry seems to prefer a more raw and in your face sound (warts and all). I think that approach worked better for their original run with him, and I generally prefer how Chino sounds on those records to anything post-S/T, but I think it was less successful for Ohms, on the whole. I also just think since Chino has been in a healthier place and is sober now, his voice has been stronger than it’s been in a long time, so private music has the benefit of that. I will say, however, I personally found Chino’s lyrics much more compelling on Ohms overall than I do on private music.
