      Well there is their song „lost“ that is so clearly surrounded for artistic reasons that no one will ever be able to deny it 😅
      Also it’s not a bad thing they use autotune. If you don’t clean up your vocals in productions, it’ll sound messy. Common practice since decades. Not a bad thing at all.

    • @shoesr21
      @shoesr21 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Honestly, I feel like every band uses at least some sort of pitch correction or slight auto tune, like at 1% mix. But it’s mostly to polish up the vocals for the song. Which makes sense.

      The Rev actually wrote almost all of this song in 2008 before he died. The song is meant to be about a lost soul and a depressed person trying to make it by. The band changed some lyrics up and moved the chorus (which was originally “tonight we all die young”). They recently released the demo version (Shadows and the Rev both singing). It really sucks not many people know this, because this is one of the Revs greatest songs.

    As someone mentioned, this song is a tribute to their late drummer who died during the making of this album - they'd been friends since childhood. The whispered vocals ('skull' 'they all know', etc) were actually the drummer's voice that was already recorded.
    I love this song, but it's a little all over the place, lol. It's definitely self-indulgent (especially on the album) but it's a hell of a song to experience live with how they break it down into pieces and involve the fans. Hearing an entire venue singing "tonight we all die young" over and over with the lights low will make your hair stand on end.
    I've been a huge fan for a long time, but if there's one thing that's always driven me nuts it's the nasal vocals, god they used to be so much worse 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thankfully they've improved since then.
    Side note: Their lead guitarist is classically trained and it Really really shows in this one, lol

      It may very well be that they didn’t use auto-tune, that’s just what it sounded like to my ears. It may be just lots of vocal layers that gives it that particular smoothed vibration effect… but if so it sounds very very similar to the sound you’d get from a chunk of auto-tune being applied… which is not a sound I personally dig. Most bands do use a bit of auto tune these days, and it can be done quite subtlety which I don’t mind.

    So I won't say there's no autotune, because I simply don't know. But where you said there's auto tune on it, what your actually hearing is 3 or 4 vocal tracks harmonizing together. They do that a ton. But also to critique your reaction, wasn't a fan. Now yes, I am a huge a7x fan. But, you almost had an attitude of, "yea you guys are great, but you don't need to be doin all that shredding". Personally I feel every part was perfectly displayed and tasteful. Also, this was the final track of the album, and the song was meant to symbolize the whirlwind of emotion from the death of their drummer/best friend. Just simply couldn't be done in a 6 minute song. That being said, thank you for doing this reaction.

      Thanks for the feedback Thomas. In fairness, I didn’t have any context about the reason behind the song before reacting to it. But also, this ultimately comes down to personal taste. I can recognise the musician excellence here for sure, but the overall style of the combinations just doesn’t speak to me the way some other musical choices do. It’s not bad by any means. It’s just not for my taste.
      Maybe I need to do a bit more signposting in my reactions by highlighting when I’m offering opinion rather than musical analysis. I’ll take that feedback with me. Thanks.
