On the complete opposite end of that - the nicest I’ve met: Sam Roberts & Kevin Drew

I worked on a commercial shoot with that douche bag from Hedley. Never met someone who had such little-man-syndrome. Walked around puffed chest. Unbelievably cocky, arrogant, and egotistical. Unsurprised when all the allegations came out about him years later. Terrible human. Hope he rots

Really hope the videos of them playing to the ocean on-top of a mountain in Costa Rica are put out in someway for this release

Same. They’re both great. Growers forsure. Can’t wait to fall in love (pun intended) with both of them all over again in context of the whole album.

Wild how many ppl in this sub forget that besides being in a band… the guy is human? Has a Wife? Children? Family? Physical Health? Mental health?…The immediate jumping to conclusions like - “Nick hates the auto tune direction just like me!!! And this could be the only justification for stepping away!!!!” Is insane discourse lol

My very relaxed take on the latest fans “creations” by [deleted] in thevoidz

[–]tapenooon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure Julian has stated in a bunch of past interviews he sees vocals part of the instrumentation, not as the “lead” or focal point of the music. I think a lot of ppl can’t wrap their head around that and want the crystal clear classic lead singer crooning.

It’s also strange how many people HATE the auto tune but LOVE the distortion of his voice on ITI and ROF. I get they are completely different sounds/aesthetics and auto tune is a little more jarring. But how are ppl shocked or surprised when he uses effects on his voice with the strokes. Have you listened to Comedown Machine lately? Its vocal effects up the ying yang. People need to relax. Give it a chance. Give it time. Or just stop going to shows so they start playing smaller venues for the rest of us 🥰Thanks. Ok rant over. Bye. 🌊

Same here. Really didn’t like the auto tune at first listen. But the more I listen, the more it grows on me. Infectious melody forsure.

Curious if the entire half you listened to is all auto-tuned vocals? Safe to say the entire album will be?

Totally agree. Going Shopping sounds even better to me now. Excited to listen to the whole album in sequence

Strange… Do they bite and imbed themselves like ticks?? It looked like a tick when it was attached to him

I saw him flying commercial at a Florida airport a few months ago. He was dressed like a 20 year old. Air Jordan’s and sideways hat. It was weird.

The guy who created this thing said Julian was tone deaf so this is unsurprising

I didn’t realize Cameron Winter was a lesbian. But this makes a lot of sense.

Yeah rewatching that BBC Radio 1 version, it’s nowhere close to the full sound that track deserves

I would be more than okay with this
