FIFY
And I do enjoy the new album. Do the vocals on this album seem a little more raspy to anyone else? It's not necessarily a bad thing, just different. I wonder if all the touring has taken its toll.
I can see a bit more of raspyness in this album, but I kinda like it. One would think touring will take it's toll at some point. They've said that recording albums isn't even their favorite part and that they would tour until they were dead. Seems like a tiring system, hopefully it doesn't effect their sound too much. But still.. really awesome of them to think of the crowd.
I'm not sure how to compare this to Sigh No More. Maybe I need a bit more of a listen to Babel, but there are some awesome tracks on here. They've yet to make a song that I don't like.
But has anyone heard the version of Lover of the Light before this studio-album version? I kinda liked it better.
