Cove really was amazing. I don’t think he was loved enough by his band mates. He took over a band and made it his own which is almost impossible to do but he did it. He made an album that is still so many peoples favorite, he is loved by fans at least.
@@jeyd87 his performances were still relatively consistent around this time. During the tour for this album it started to deteriorate. That being said, his new band his live performances with them are fantastic. Dude just can’t sing as high as Saosin wanted.
It's because the 'Along the Shadow' album was very DIY in terms of writing. They didn't go to a big producer this time. Beatle album however is more tight more professional record than Along The Shadow.
Man this takes me back to sitting in my room in the desert playing MX vs. ATV on my PSP between missions and really digging "sleepers". The drums really did it for me. This album is incredible!
I always felt bad for cove because trying to fill the shoes of anthony green is a herculean task..but cove put down great vocals on this album- just a shame how much strain singing that high puts on your throat. Which is ultimately what got him kicked out of the band. Justin said after a show one time that he has to warm up before a gig, so when he sees cove ripping butts before a show, it's like- imagine if i warmed up for guitar by punching a wall.
One of my favourite albums and stands the test of time. One of the few albums where EVERYONE shines in the songs. Their last album is the Anthony Green show (as much as i love him) it could easily be confused with a circa survive album. A ROD is an absolute beast on this album
2023 and still listening to this album. Alex Rodriguez really set the bar for alt drummers for a long time. Drummed to this albums so many times. Not as good of course 😂
thank you saosin, howard benson, mike plotnikoff, and chris lord alge for making this record's so BIG and MAASSIVE, still one of the best record in my entire picks
back when I first listened to their music I was in high school (2006/2007). and the song I heard for the first time was "You're not alone" (The beetle album/2006). and that's when I fell in love with their music.. Now 2021 and still listen to their music..
I can put this album on loop and it sounds like new every single time still in 2024. Heard they’re re-recording it. Then they can put it on vinyl. Taylor versioning it
Should’ve kept cove. I know he didn’t sing great live but he could clearly make a great album. I mean take a look at buddy from senses fail and Tom from blink, they aren’t good live either but the fans don’t care
Cove is doing great these days, but back when he 'left' saosin his voice was *done*. studio performance included. besides saosin thrives off their shows, like Kurt with dgd... they are not a 'studio band'... they have a passion for performing and live skill is a must
I personally wouldn't feel comfortable doing something in-studio that I couldn't do live. It would come off as very misleading and deceitful. You wouldn't want a lesser than performance live since tours/gigs is your main source of income, and I'm sure there are people who wouldn't want to support that kind of practice. Chris even states that their biggest challenge was replicating that same in-studio quality live.
Alex is one of the best and underated modern rock drummers. I love plugging in the headphones and playing along. I do not like how the label had him hold back.
Not to toot my own horn lol but I used to be a pretty dope guitarist within this style of music and I ALWAYS ALWAYS wanted his Hughes and Ketter heads! I even took my 6505+ lame face plate off and put plexiglass with a couple small blue led lights inside 😂 Hey! It looked cool live and still does to this day. Minus the led lights they got coooooked up 😢😂
Cove > Anthony Fight me!! Cove sounds more mature which i appreciate more, its getting boring when every single emo band in 2000s sounds the same, like a whiny prepubescent all the time.
The entire vision of Saosin was for a metal sound with Bjork style vocals. They were also some of the first to actually do that style. Learn some history
@@JamesEatWorld7758 That's pretty interesting and makes sense getting a High Tenor like Anthony Green to fill the shoes of someone like Bjork or Elizabeth Fraser but with a man's high voice. Cove has a cool voice, but he is definitely more of a mid-tenor than a High tenor. His voice is more similar to Tyson Stevens and Brandon Bolmer than Anthony Green.
i am lost without Anthony Green.... sorry... new singer is ok.. I saw them live with new singer. There is nothing like seeing Saosin with Anthony Green god dammit.
He gotta calm down with the overly pushed "emo tom delonge" accent and just sing normally. The unnecessary "aaaahh-eeeh" accented on words that don't even have those sounds. It's like a emo James hetfield , he said "ahh" after nearly every word
Cove is a really good singer now, but back when he did this first saosin album he was pretty young and his voice was all over the place, he ended up getting kicked out of the band unfortunately after their 2th album because his voice was degrading and apparently he smoked alot which fucked his voice up. It also doesn't help the bands previous singer Anthony Green is one of the best singers in the post hardcore game, So cove was really fucked from the get go, thats what happens when you have open auditions for ANY singer to try and join your band (thats how he joined)... it rarely works out unless you KNOW that singer is amazing. Mind you Cove now sounds really good in the new band hes in, hes a great screamer aswell!
