I think his voice sounds so different. He totally lost the raw appeal his voice has or just doesn't want to bother. Maybe smoking damaged his cords?. He just doesn't blow like he use to. His pipes are now kinda weak, hiding behind more falsettos than usual.
I hope I'm wrong and he's just not inspired and just lazy cause then I would have some vocal tricks to look forward to on the next album after Black Mountain.
Man do I miss him doing that shaky voice thing he does so well, you know, like he does at the end of Meltdown "oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" singing.gif whistle.gif

It could be the smoking (although I am not sure if this is still true or how much he smokes), or aging, or both. I think his voice sounds considerably worse on this album than on all of their others. However, in the recent shows I've seen, his voice has actually held up better through the entire show than it did in years past. I think it could be that they recorded the thing so fast that he didn't have time to go back and re-record a few rough lines here and there and figured it was fine the way it was.

Maybe, but I'll be listening at their show in NYC 5/11 and he better not dissapoint. Ahhh, who am I kidding, it's Ed, it's Live, i'll be too busy screaming my ass off and have a grand 'ole time.

I've seen him in concert 16 times. Only once has his voice struggled. If you compare recordings of old Live concerts to more recent concerts, I think Ed sounds better now. He has more control over his voice. Just a better sounding vocal overall.
