It’s something with record or it’s not Anders at all. I have record from their last show in Moscow in 2020, and he sounds amazing ... nothing compared to this one
His cleans are cringeworthy. Hell, I don’t know a video where he actually sounds “good” on his cleans. Perfect example of what can be done in a studio versus what can “naturally” be done live.
He's no singer, thats for sure, never been. Freshen things up with some singing lessons wouldn't hurt. Dont get me wrong, i love the guy but gotta be real
@@streaxu I totally agree with you, he is not really a singer in the sense that he is unable to sing in tune and with the right tone (where "right" means close to the studio version). I love his style, I think he is a great songwriter and fronmtan, and a competent screamer, but he is not a singer. He could become a singer, it's just a matter of study and practice. I think it would be a fantastic step forward for the whole band
Surely the studio provides a great update to the voice and the whole production in general, however there are singers who sing much better than Anders live, because they have the right technique, they know how to sing, they have experience in doing that with the proper technique. It's pretty obvious Anders has experience in screaming / hard / dirty / throaty vocals, but his cleans are far from his throat level. You're right, the studio versions always have "something more", nowadays in every genre there is a significant post production, the touch of the "invisible hand of the engineer" is quite heavy, but Anders is not really a singer, and this is to be considered in my opinion
