How did I miss this ?

It's been a while since I have heard those 2 albums but I listened to "Parallels" recently and definitely thought he was pitchy at times on there.

Arch is strained at times do but that doesn't mean that I don't think he's amazing.

I had Disconnected for a while but traded it away, the vocals were killing me. Being used to such high quality vocals from this band I couldn't take the sub-par, pitchy, strained sound on this disc. Some more heaviness mixed with the complexity of Perfect Symmetry would be sweet in a new release. A DVD would be pretty cool, too.

You are insane...that is all.

Sorry, Shawn of Fire. I know you yourself are a singer, as am I. But there is no comparison between the vocals on Perfect Symmetry and those on Disconnected. He does not sound like he has any confidence in his note choices and just doesn't sound comfortable to me. Maybe that's the effect they were going for and I just missed it.

Well, I agree with bassman on this one. And the music itself didn't do much for me on "Disconnected" or "X" although I thought APSOG was very good for what it was.

Thanks for the backup on this, ToB. Maybe I'm not totally crazy after all.

That's crazy! .81 cents for the whole album, I got robbed at the pawn shop paying 5 bucks for it. Doh!

The link should have taken you to the 2nd CD of just
unreleased demos of the songs on the album, don't think you
can buy that in any store. Maybe amazon, I don't know.

For the record, I ALWAYS buy the cds to the music I download for
the case and cover, and for just the respect I have for the bands. I do like the downloads for the quality though. Most of the CDs you buy now are terrible quality.

I prefer the physical CD to the download and when I do download I always pay for it. NO STEALING!

You're both crazy...but it's OK.
