Members blue2blue Posted August 1, 2009 Members Share Posted August 1, 2009 The spoken word vocal seems, tonally, kind of dark, almost muffled. Makes following the words just a little harder than it needs to be. (Even more on the technical side you might want to go through and deal with some of the plosives on some of his P's, at least if you work on a platform that makes that kind of editing/correction/automation easy.) I have to say that, perhaps in part because of the tonal difficulties, I had to go back and listen hard to follow. The vocal delivery seems to match the somber, pointedly humorless nature of the words and the guitar arpeggiation is fittingly moody. I can see serious-minded folks who are already persuaded nodding in knowing agreement with this -- but as it is, I'm not sure it's going to make too many new converts. I think, in order to really move the message to the people, you kind of have to invite them in to some extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lyrics that were given to me were already overly dramatic and humorless, so I figured rather than sing it, doing it as a spoken word thing in the most moody over dramatic way possible would be the best fit.
