The strained and fatigued sound of his voice does wonders for the mood of the song. 'Perfecting' it would definitely take something away from it.

Effects on the vocals would ruin the point of them.

I listened to the 192 rip and then v0 back to back, and man does it make a difference. Thanks for the heads up, MHG.

It sounds like the theme to Seinfeld

You are just a little too for my standards

'Great' literally does not mean 'masterpiece'

Snakes & Arrows is great and anyone who says it's not is wrong.

I rated it a 7, because it exceeded my expectations and was just generally a really good album. Because I'm obsessed with ranking things, I'd say it lands somewhere like this. Grace Under Pressure Permanent Waves Hemispheres Moving Pictures Power Windows A Farewell to Kings Snakes & Arrows Signals 2112 Cockwork Angles Presto Fly By Night Hold Your Fire Roll the Bones Counterparts Caress of Steel Vapor Trails Test 4 echo Rush

Really digging this album. It's exceeding expectations, for sure, and I'd say I was moderately hyped for it. Ranking time The Wreckers Caravan The Garden Seven Cities of Gold BU2B Carnies Headlong Flight The Anarchist Wish Them Well Cockwork Angles Halo Effect BU2B2 (only because it's a minute interlude)
