there was supposed to be a "skip to the chorus of 'How You Remind Me'" in that post which I apparently thought but didn't bother to type
― PITILESS LIVE SHOW (DJP), Thursday, 19 July 2012 19:01 (eleven years ago) link
i do hear the general similarity in vocal tone & timbre. baizley is singing in a post-grunge rock dude style. that's neither a good nor a bad thing, necessarily. it's certainly not my favorite vocal approach, but then neither is death metal burping. still, i accept that good work can be done in any style. i just think there's no fair reason to compare this album to universally acknowledged supershit band nickelback, except to score a cheap zing by association.

I am probably the biggest Nickelback defender on this thread (I actually like "How You Remind Me") so I am not sure why you are trying to pick this fight with me

I actually like "How You Remind Me"
it's cool w/you if I'm a total dick to you about this forever right? awesome thanks lol you like "How You Remind Me" it's your favorite song

i'm sure Baroness will do well on the year end metal poll so no one really needs to rush to their defense

i didn't intend to fight with you. was responding primarily to the zinging upthread, in conjunction w some other stuff. accept that your comparison to nickelback was meant as a compliment.
― contenderizer, Thursday, 19 July 2012 19:16 (eleven years ago) link
haha it was meant as a descriptor! neither positive nor negative
I mean, my overall reaction to this album was this is pleasant and all but I don't think I need to own this
― PITILESS LIVE SHOW (DJP), Thursday, 19 July 2012 19:19 (eleven years ago) link
who needs to own albums? it's on spotify.
― Mordy, Thursday, 19 July 2012 19:19 (eleven years ago) link
just fyi i dont give a shit if this is metal or not or w/e but i stick with the idea that this would be a pretty good album if it werent for the alteration to the singing - dudes voice was pretty great on red (like on isak! its a perfect fit and everything works there) but he seems to be trying to do something on this that a) i dont like and doesnt fit what i want to hear w/the music and b) is kinda outside his skill set so i feel like hes fucking it up fairly badly.
one of my other thoughts was that i think the drums sound pretty badass! i would buy the instrumental version of this record.

listening to "Isak" now and it basically scans to me as "monotone grunge dude sings over Tool-influenced music" but I'm finding it a more compelling package than that reductive description would lead you to believe, likely because of the "Tool-influenced" part

fwiw I'm listening to Green again and the first thing I noticed is that dude seems to have removed all the grungisms from his vocals on the first two songs
― PITILESS LIVE SHOW (DJP), Thursday, 19 July 2012 19:34 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, i dunno that "isak" is a great argument for baizley's vocal abilities. he's basically just bellowing harmonically over the din. okay, but nothing special. like the singing on the new album a lot better. better tunes, too.
― contenderizer, Thursday, 19 July 2012 19:36 (eleven years ago) link
ok i am listening to eula right now and part of the problem is that dude is a little pitchy at pretty much all the worst times. and he is doing some stupid vowel dipthonging with shit that isnt a dipthong.
ok i take that back this dude is super pitchy through like the last half of this song and it is nearly unlistenable for me.
― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 19 July 2012 19:38 (eleven years ago) link
i think i like isak because its fairly monotone bellowing, largely because i am realizing that this dude cant sing very well.
"eula" is kind of terrible, yeah

fwiw there aren't a whole lot of gis results of Kroeger with someone not in a band so give me a break
and no, baizley's not a great singer, overall

hahahahaha the second half of "Eula" is a vocal performance worthy of Staind
― PITILESS LIVE SHOW (DJP), Thursday, 19 July 2012 19:49 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i am not trying to be mean at all but it is just shockingly shockingly bad, like "oh shit we used the scratch vocal on the master" level bad

Man I'm not going to stan for Baizley as some sort of "great" vocalist, but I really feel like jjjusten is listening to a different Baroness album than I am.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 19 July 2012 19:59 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, me too. i don't always like what baizley's doing here, but i think he acquits himself fairly well, overall.
― contenderizer, Thursday, 19 July 2012 20:02 (eleven years ago) link
As much as I don't really feel DJP's Kroeger comparisons, I totally see what he's getting at. Baizley's delivery here is def closer to grunge than anything else. But I don't find it so terrible.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 19 July 2012 20:05 (eleven years ago) link
okay, so we are agreed. his voice sucks and his band sucks and his art sucks. plus, what kind of name is baizley? dumb name. can a moderator lock this thread now?
― scott seward, Thursday, 19 July 2012 20:05 (eleven years ago) link
with my shockingly bad thing there i am specifically talking abt the second half of eula. i dont think hes a great singer overall or anything but theres something specifically wrong going on in that song
― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 19 July 2012 20:07 (eleven years ago) link
lol
i will stan for his art though. he may not branch out from his core look ever, but i really love it.
ok, i'll need to give "Eula" another listen, i thought you were talking overall.
