Re: Pendulum
I like the effect, but I think it's more for the way it makes Ed's voice sound like it collapses into the sound of the guitar solo.

Re: Pendulum
The note is an E4 which was confirmed when Ed sang it live. It sounds higher in studio because of the echo effect.Kevin Davis wrote:What? I don't hear that at all.Release_Me wrote: It's Ed singing an E4 but with the echo/feedback, it sounds a full octave higher.
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

Re: Pendulum
Also, in Pendulum it's applied poorly. It grates the ears.--- wrote:no one is against those kinds of effects per se. in certain cases i'm sure it can make the final product better. in the case of pendulum, it doesn't. that's all.

this sounds sooooo good
okay, I gotta say I may just prefer hearing that part clean. I don't have a problem with the studio effect, though

Re: Pendulum
pearl jam releases one of its best songs it the last 15 years and half of this thread focuses on peoples dislike of one part of the song. this is why RM gets a bad rap.

Re: Pendulum
I just reckon it must be awful to post continually on a Pearl Jam message board if you don't like the band's output over recent years. Or maybe being contrary gives people a boost? I dunno.warehouse wrote:pearl jam releases one of its best songs it the last 15 years and half of this thread focuses on peoples dislike of one part of the song. this is why RM gets a bad rap.

Re: Pendulum
I just listened to that live performance. Wonderful performance, but Eddie absolutely does not sound like he is singing an octave higher on the studio version because of that effect. It sounds like the exact same pitch with a bunch of distortion.
That performance has me pretty excited for the boots from this tour.

Re: Pendulum
This is the best song on the album, and the vocal effect is cool. The only fault of this song is that it's not long enough.

Re: Pendulum
this is a great opener. I hope they open it every night on the tour, and that this speaks to an interest in the band for writing more songs like this.

I'm really, really looking forward to hearing these shows (and making an O'Brien-less Lightning Bolt mix from the live tracks).Kevin Davis wrote:That performance has me pretty excited for the boots from this tour.

what the fuck is everyone on about?harmless wrote:Anyway, you guys hate the effect. I don't really care about it. It doesn't matter.
the 'long agoooooooo-owwowowowow" part is one the best moments of the song, as far as I'm concerned
it's like they borrowed a bit from the electronic genre and it blends in perfectly
THAT'S WHAT YOUNG PEOPLE DO, FFS!
