Bad opinions [ARCHIVED] • Page 752

Dude sounds like he sucks in some helium right before he hit record

 

I really like Anberlin, but I've seen them live twice and Stephen's vocals have been a let-down on both occassions.

 

Doesn't he always sound out of breath? That's what I gathered from so many live videos over the years

 

His vocals definitely trail off towards the end of each note, his voice just seems to get lost among the guitars. Probably not helped out by his sound guys, but it's something I've noticed on both occassions.

See also, Mayday Parade, which I'm always shocked by because I really rate Derek as a singer.

 

I hear that. On the top off my head, it's noticeable on We Are Destroyer which isn't an easy song to sing.

 

Stephen has improved as a live singer, but it's still not his strong suit. Nothing that's really his fault or anything. His voice just isn't as powerful live as on record.

 

This has aged incredibly well, tbh.

 

The only song I've heard from the new album is the one that sounds like a 2002 Busted song with bigger production.

 

Cigarettes After Sex has a cool sound but I feel like I gotta act like the guy is singing gibberish like a Sim or Jonsi from Sigur Rós to enjoy it because the lyrics are just cringe, incel shit. Like others pointed this out to me in the past and now it’s all I can think about it.

 

one of the best songs of the year. more bands need to sound like 2002 Busted.

 

One was more than enough.

 

Which song is that supposed to be

 

Me & You Together Song?

 

Me & You Together Song

 

The best song on the album? C’mon man

 

Yeah I’m not too sure on that one either

 

That is a great song and it really does sound like 02 Busted now that you mention it

 

The best song on the new The 1975 album is The Birthday Party though

 

the birthday party is not a good song

 

Idk Busted except the “Year 3000” song, but “Me & You Together Song” sounds like The Starting Line to me

 

I would not have thought about that but I can def hear it in the vocal melodies

 

Oof, this is not it

 

I need to listen to more of them then lol.

 

I feel like The 1975 are a much better "vibe" band than a "song" or "album" band.

 

Most decidedly not an album band
