And the crowd will almost be as metal/mental there anyway...

Lamb Of God enough said :lol:

Not really, I don't know what you are trying to point out at all...

That's what Jose always said when he doesn't know enough about the topic matter to actually make a point.

Metallica have released the video for the song 'All Nightmare Long', probably the best song on the album. One of the coolest/weirdest videos I've seen in a long time.

Didn't you see Tool's Vicarious filmclip??

The point I was making is that Lamb Of God are shit house and a joke of a *metal* band

You're a joke. Lamb of God are awesome.

Got Bring Me The Horizon's Suicide Season today. Very generic.

Nah, Generic is what they were before they made this album.

Not that it's a bad album, but I still think it has the same sounds they've always had, the same vocals, the same guitars. 'No Need For Introductions, I've Read about Girls Like You On The Back So Toilet Doors' is a top track, the contrast and dynamics are brilliant in it

Have you actually listened to their previous stuff? The vocals are completely different. Like, beyond completely different. More so, the way the songs are written, the way the riffs are written, the drumming, all of that is completely different. You're probably one of the only people in the world whose heard this album, and thinks it sounds the same as their older material.

It's not like Nickelback where you listen to it and go "wait a second, is tehre something wrong with my CD player?? Track five sounds the same as track four which sounds the same as track three....which sounds the same as the previous album, which was the same as the one before that..." But I still think all the aspects taht enabled you to define them as BMTH are still there. I think the drums are very much improved, that could jsut be down to the mixing though. There's perhaps a little more clean vocals, in this album, but the same sounds are there.

The drum beats are very different. Previously it was just the usual deathcore, tons of double kicks, etc, but none of that is there now. With the vocals, while yes he is still screaming, its completely different to how he used to scream.

I think there was a lot less cymbal ring in it and it was more technical too. It actually made me think of Pig Destroyer a little :-k
The vocals are still that throaty almost nasaly scream IMO.

His older vocals were over the real deep, almost a roar, or a higher pitched scream. This is closer to a coarse yell than anything else.

It's a good thing his voice doesn't break though...I'd be interested to see how well he can reproduce that live tbh.

From what I can gather from Youtube videos, and first hand accounts, apparently he does it fairly well.

That is the current problem with metal bands at the moment though, all these albums are so overproduced that you hear them and go "wow" and then the band goes out on stage and can't replicate it and you just feel ripped off (I hear Meshuggah is one such band).

Interesting. You're the first person I've heard say that about metal bands. I've never gone to a concert and been disappointed that the band didn't deliver their best. Most metal bands tend to keep it simple on cd, and are thus able to pull it off fine live.

It's a growing trend starting to become more common now. Especially with drummers because they quantize everything.

First I've heard of it tbh. I know a few bands have been turning to pro-tools to assist with vocals, but most of those bands have been looked down on because of it.

Apparently if you type in something like "Nickelback Two Song's" into Google, there's a web-site that play's two of their song's out of your speaker's, and they sound so close to identical.

ProTools is a recording program. Anything tuning up the vocals is completely independant of protools.

That's 'Someday' and 'how you remind me'.

It's slightly out of synch, but you get the picture.

It's not so much that they're tuning up the vocals, its that they're recording the vocals (generally the clean vocals) through pro-tools, which gives them a really glossy, over produced sound. Atreyu's last album is a very good example of this. So instead of getting a guy singing with the minor flaws that any singer would have, it sounds near perfect, which is then impossible to pull off live.

Lol at Nickleback. Such a horribly bland band.

Yeah, it's just a second out or so.

I have T.I. Featuring Rihanna - Live Your Life song stuck in my head from driving with the radio on. :oops:

Uh...ok, I'm going to go back to basics here.
What protools does is it converts the analogue signal it recieves into a digital representation of the sound and records it to disk. The 'clean' sounding vocals has nothing to do with the fact that it was recorded in protools. What it comes down to is that they used a high fidelity microphone like a Neumann U87 to record the vocals rather than something like a Shure KZ-1 which would have given the vocals a more gruff, distorted quality to them. You could also use a plug-in in protools to distort the sound a little and give the vocals a little crunch. It's poor engineering, yes. But nothing to do with the use of protools or technology.

Not even that, it's only a beat out, it's still in time and in key. Once I get protools 8 up and running I'll do that properly for everybody's entertainment, and Tool's spinning room from 10,000 days.

Lamb Of God are good if you wear a flanno and have a mullet. Listen to real metal not that bullshit

lol. What is real metal, according to Jose?

No...that would be Pantera. Lamb of God are streets ahead of Pantera.

And I do listen to 'real metal', I listen to more music than you ever will. I submit to you that you don't listen to 'real metal'.
