Re: The Official SCOTT STAPP Thread

^^ By that logic, wouldn't it make sense to do a new Creed album? First album in 14+ years. Streaming metrics and whatever physical album sales metrics are going to be more than what an AB or Tremonti album does by a good difference. Apologies, forgot to reply to you. Streaming does nothing financi...

Re: The Official SCOTT STAPP Thread

Or it makes more sense for him financially. Tours sell better than albums these days and judging from how well the cruises and the tour have sold, he is not willing to invest in the studio time for the new tunes. Having the financial safety capitalizing from Creed he can do AB and Tremonti at ease.

Re: Amps & Other Guitar Gear

They can be awesome value but they don't have great quality control, so be prepared to make send one or two back with possible issues. Like Chapman guitars, their business model is too buy direct from the factory and the store is supposed to QC, but they often don't. So there could be a likelihood ...

My list so far, green ones are done, white ones still to go.
End of year update (unless I find more albums released this year lol):

The ones with an 'X' next to them would be my AOTY contenders.

Re: Scott Stapp Album IV HIGHER POWER

It does not have to be that way. Same for the ridiculous brickwalling on every rock album since 1995. Just because it's become the new industry standard does not make it right whatsoever for listeners. Obviously not. It's just that Stapp isn't the kind of guy that would be trying to break the mould...

I didn't even make it to the bridge. The vocals are terrible. Massively edited. The songwriting is just boring.
Was just looking for positives. The vocals are edited but this is how it goes nowadays.

Re: Amps & Other Guitar Gear

Anybody has ever tried Harley Benton axes? They are as far as I understand Thomann's own brand (which is a music mega story in Germany). I've been looking at their SC-Custom II series as I might need another six-string for Drop C# to rehearse with my new band. It looks pretty much like ESP LTD, just...

Anybody else ever noticed this super loud snare hit in Brand New Start at 4:19 before? Something might have gone a bit wrong with the compression I guess as the rest of the snare hits is quite subdued. Maybe an edit doubled up on it? That's a good shout.

Earthside's Let The Truth Speak album. These guys definitely do not suffer from the second-album syndrome. A lot of great, fresh, proggy ideas keeping the genre alive.
