"Doesn’t sound flat unless you count the very end when the reverb is carrying it longer than he’s actually singing it"



It's a four-second clip. He's very definitely singing the note when it's flat. Reference 7:42 of the link Casavir helpfully provided above. He holds the note for a while (and slides into the correct pitch eventually) but it's drowned in reverb specifically to try and hide the fact that it's weak af and flat.

Given the fact that he does reproduce the note that exact same way in what little live footage of The Killing Hand with this lineup exists, it's entirely intentional and meant to reflect the generally more morose and ethereal atmosphere of this song and the album as a whole. This is only supported by the fact that Dominici then belts out a powerful note after Myung's solo carries through until 7:59.



I'm just finding it hard to take you seriously at all given that you're calling Charlie a bad vocalist on the basis of applying himself appropriately to the music he is given.

LOL! I find it hard to take you seriously given that you think Dominici's singing is on-key, and that even if it is off-key it was a conscious choice and a good one at that.

The rest of dream theater was writing conventional western scale melodies while Dominici was busy experimenting with microtones. No wonder they had "artistic differences".

Nah I think you’re exaggerating. Doesn’t really sound like he’s shifting his pitch to me. Feel free to call me deaf or whatever but we’re never gonna agree on this since I’ve liked it for a long time and you’re predisposed to not liking it lol

LMAO! You just said that it sounded off one comment ago which you blamed on the reverb. You guys are a hoot.

Tbh it's like LaBrie was pressured by the other guys (portnoy) to be a bad ass metal singer while the cleaner stuff on I&W was much more his style. I think the rapsy, screamy stuff he did in 1993 doesn't sound that good. I prefer Dominici on the Dominici material as well

Too bad autotune didn't exist in 1989.

Yea Sitar I actually changed my mind about that because I was listening on my shitty phone speaker last night and was able to listen to it in my car at a much higher volume his morning. He sounds fine

If 90's LaBrie sang this, and the production was better, this would be between a 4 and a 5. Songwriting is excellent here.
