You should hear the demos, they are even better. Wouldn’t mind hearing the demos, where can I find them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) I agree that the strained vocals actually benefit the songs. Musically Good Mourning was a shift towards a more polished rock sound that became much more apparent on later albums. The strained vocals tie it a little better to earlier material, which I prefer.

Now that I’m actually listening for it I can hear it but agree, it suits the album. I actually prefer Dan’s songs anyway. Blue Carolina is a fucking great song.

Boaty McBoatface Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I always believed Matt chose that vocal style for the record almost intentionally, to better suit the somber and dark feelings the music and lyrics portray. 🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very sick and pressed on with recording. I would have loved to hear those songs recorded at full vocal strength.

Around the time this came out my friend worked at Doghouse who was like tight with Vagrant people. He gave me a cdr of the demos like in the early 2000s but I can’t find it. They’ve gotta be on the internet somewhere I’ll see if I can track down! They are just really great, like unpolished versions of the tunes. I personally always loved this LP and I actually attribute it to being a little sloppy and part of that is Skibas vocals. Skacel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaulManella Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Honestly they could press the demo album and it would sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been selling for over 200 there. It's been months since a winning bid on ebay was less than 175. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWasteOfATime Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 im pretty sure I read that matt was super sick while they were tracking that album and that he was miserable and blew out his voice, hence the sound. I don't think that it sounds like, BAD, but it definitely was part of the cirmcumstances rather than a choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I only post this stuff to share it for folks since I have alerts set up in the very rare case something pops up I can’t live without. But for real, pricing is wild and they seem to sell out pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
