Your opinions of S-X's ST album.

[buscatesoros]

When I first spinned the album, I thougght Rod Tyler's voice was a little too girly and whiny for my tastes. But after a few more spins, I kinda started to like it, so I guess it's liek an acquired taste.

The quality of the songs could be better. They should really go back and polish the best 4 songs of the "demo", or something like that. The potential is there, it's just not showing completely.

Hmm...I wasn't the biggest fan of Rob Thomas' voice, and I agree he could sound boyish at times. (Incidentally I HAVE come to like James LaBrie's voice lately...just had to toss that in for the person who mentioned him.)

While the production and the vocals were not the best at all, I WILL say that I think it's one of the better 1st albums I've ever heard out of a band. It's clear the musical talent is there, and I couldn't think of a bad song on there. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised, when I recently got it for Christmas.

I'm not sure that we're talking about Matchbox Twenty here .

To everyone that says this is better than TDG...are you fucking insane. The Edge of Forever is the greatest song of all time!

+1

yeah i didnt like Matchbo'X' Twenty's first singer that much either. the music is so good that i still listen to the cd, tho. they did a fantastic job with Masquerade, i'd really like to see more songs from that cd remade with Russ.

 

[Rose Immortal]

LOL!!!! Whoops! That's what I get for not reading carefully, and writing the first name that sounds familiar!

(Although I should hope it's to my credit that I didn't know WHY I knew the name...could've never named the band he was in.)

Feel free to put that in an All-Time Greatest SymX Board Bloopers Thread, if you like.

Matchbox 20 would sound better with Russ on vocals.

 

[Beelzebub]

Most bands would sound better with Russ on vocals.

 

[frozen_core]

no...wait...yeah, i guess all bands would.

 

[Kronikle66]

Not all bands. I'd say 95%. A band like Shadow Gallery, for example, needs someone like Mike Baker (god I love his voice!)

I'd like to hear S-X re-record the first album

It can be summed up in 3 sentences:

1) Rod Tyler didn't deserve to be on this album.
2) Remix the guitar leads so they have some bite and volume.
3) Put a little more bass in there for god's sake!
