Non-argumentative 2011 "All Over You" thread Options

A place to actually discuss the new recording, since it's the first actual recording of new Live we've heard. Obviously, I really have no power to enforce the non-argumentative part, but I hope folks will oblige as the actual musical discussion is non-existent in the other thread.

I am excited about how great the band sounds, what a ballsy rehearsal! New lead singer sounds great, sounds like Chris to me. I think it'd be nice for him to dial back the Ed-mulation a little (I know others don't hear it/care/agree but I hear it mainly on the verses), but I think it's undeniable that he can carry the songs and do them well enough to make the songs enjoyable in a live content.

What it is really going to ride on is the new material. This recording for me shows that the new lead singer can do what's needed to perform the old songs, but will the new songs be good? That's really the only unknown for me right now. As I've said before, I'm not crazy about hearing the old stuff, but it's a necessary thing and I think it'll do.

Poke,y I agree with you on many posts about the Shinn thing.
What I do have a problem with is you saying his voice isn't unique/distinctive.To you it may not be but to me it is.
Don't get me wrong, 10 years ago I thought Unified Theory was Thorn doing a project away from BM but got a singer sounding like Hoon (the raspy voice thing) but the more I listened to UF the more I could differentiate between the 2 and realized how these 2 bands were different.

Is it Shinn, is it not? Does he do justice to the Live song I don't care . But to me this man has a unique voice!


But in the end... it is what it is. Art is the most subjective fluid thing that humans created. (though some fluid might be flowing through a sewage pipe cough awake cough)
