What do you guy's think of Mikaels clean vocals? To tell you the truth I do not think they are all that great on Projecter but in UnDo Control that's my favorite part of the song but his voice kinda crack every once in a while.
 
Blasphemy!!!! He is ASOME!!!!

Hehehe honestly i like Stanne's clean vox even better than åkerfeldt's vox, its just amazing and has so much sentiment to it, something that goes so well with projector, im telling you projector its a damn work of art every single aspect of it, even day to end that most people dislike i found amazing and incredible powerful to transmite sentiments....

I just really really like his clean voice and i wish he would go back at clean voice in the new album, i hope he reconsiders :cry:

im gonna have to agree with Misanthrope, BLASPHEME! Hes a total god on the clean vox, they are definitly some of the best I heard, I also prefer them over Akerfeldts, which safe to say, are amazing in their own right. I do hope he brings out the clean vox on the new album, that would be amazing.
 
I am not saying that I dont like his clean vocals the only thing that bothers me is when his voice has that cracking sound in it to tell the truth I wish he would use it even more (clean vocals) I would like it if he did go back to using the more but a lot of people I show Projecter say they don't like his clean vocals but dont get me wrong I think there great but I would still have to say they are not comparable to Akerfeldt's.
 
well they are not. åkerfeldt doesnt sings as low as Stanne, Stanne has a lower deeper voice on projector and its harder to do. I just like the lower registry Stanne has and while less technically good than åkerfeldt, he shows more sentiment in his voice to me, wich puts him ahead.

Of course this are all personal opinions, no reason to get angry about it.
 
all a matter of opinion. I think their more than comparable but well agree to disagree? ;)

Anyway, im gonna have to give Projector a thorough listen because I cant recall any cracking in his voice, Ill do that later.
 
First of all Åkerfeldt's voice rules (both clean and distorted) and you'd better shut up before i get mad ;) very persuasive attempt :rolleyes:

well..ok,i can't say i prefer..cause both singers are among my favourite ones.....
I really like Stanne's clean vocals....his voice is very husky..and somehow has a sorrowful tone which matches perfectly songs like "Day to end" or "auctioned"...
 
ooo i see, i dont think that was an accident man, thats intencional. He does that alot, its like he is crying i really like when he does that ( he does it a lot on live situation ) is just his style man. Check some of the live songs and you will see what im talking about he is really dramatic with his voice and uses all this kinds of sutil things, even when he is growling.

But ill like to see what everyone else thinks about this crack you point out i personally dont think its accidentally.

Haha calm down:lol:

You misunderstand stanne its my favorite singer and Åkerfeldt its my second favorite ever, Renske would be 3rd and then some other people ( male clean vox i mean ) but Åkerfeldt its asome i agree, both growler and clean, but he growls lower and sings higher than stanne, and i kinda like it the other way around. That and the fact that i think stanne has more emocion ( the only vocalist i know who puts emotion in growls, not exactly growls between growls and clean, check the world domination videos ( or mp3s ) to see what im talking about ).

I totally agree with this :)

Generally I prefer deeper vocals (ie Stanne) instead of higher pitched ones (ie Akerfeldt). So i prefer Stanne's clean vocs :D

And first times i was listening to Auctioned, i really had the feeling i was "drowning" in Stanne's deep voice........ Awesome feeling *sigh* :)

Edit: Can you give me more examples of this "breaking" thing you say in Stanne's voice? i don't quite see it...

2nd Edit: I just saw the rest of the posts... I agree with Misanthrope again on this one :D
 
Yes i notice. But i would also recomend you check a song from the world domination tour, specially on insanity's crescendo. There you will see how its intencional cause he almost stops growling to do that fact, giving an asome desperate scream that just fucking rules!!!:D
 
yea he should go back to the clean singing part of the music. on haven it was getting kind of boring hearing the same voice over and over again (dont get me wrong the cd kicks ass) but some clean singing would add some nice diffrence to it like on projector.
 
I agree w/ everything that's been said save one:
Akerfeldt always sings high?...when was the last time anyone listened to Serenity Painted Death?... I admit the clean vox are usually high, but you can't say alwys....
 
Stanne has the best clean vox in my opinion! then Renske and my dying bride's clean vox are great too suits their music perfectly and speed strids cleans are great too! and so is peter tägtgrens vox... åkerfeldts are great but nothing really that grabs me its great but still don't give the same feel as those others...
 
my two cents, even we can't agree on this things.....

Stanne's the best growler to me....and his clean vocals are extremely great....may be are THAT great because he puts a lot of passion on them....and are trying to sound sad and desperate.
but here, I think I like a little more Akerfeldt clean, since those are really clean ones. I know Akereldt doesn't have that passion on his clean vox, but still like them a bit more.
Now, when growling nobody's better than Stanne!!!!!!!!!!! :D
 
I love his clean vocals so much, because he sings with passion, but he is never pathetic. I think that it's pretty difficult and that it shows charm
That's ok. I hope nobody will get angry with me, but is there anybody here who thinks that Auctioned is a bit...boring?:eek:
