^Indeed. Everyone sounds good on recordings, but live you see what people REALLY sound like (i.e. Myles Kennedy on one end of the spectrum, and Ashlee Simpson on the other, lol)
Well no one. But generally critics ARE good at getting through poppish crap...
Well time will tell. I think people have started to get sick of Vedder/Stappish voices though... I really can't see it selling 400,000 in the first week.
Except that msot of the complaints to do with OYE was that he sounded like Stapp..
I'm not. I'm judging the song based on the song.
One would definitely hope so.
