[quote="xtsquintx"]Hmm... I wonder if all this excitement will propel you all into actually purchasing the single instead of clamoring for someone to rip it and post the link immediately after it's released.[/quote]

Don't be a dick. I bought Ooparts, Ameagari, Rodeo Star Mate and Horn Again, despite my "better judgment" on the issue. I'll surely buy this one as well... if I can afford it by the time it comes out I'll get it early. If I can't, I'll ask for a rip while I wait. And damn, some people don't have money to throwaway on pillows' singles, so the "clamoring" is to be expected.

Edit: I agree with Rockman. The auto-tune takes out a lot of the emotion at the end. I think that's been bothering me this whole time, but now that I read it, yeah, it's definitely fake sounding. I mean, we all know what Sawao sounds like when he shouts, even in other studio stuff. I know he's getting older, but damn, his voice has [i]never[/i] been that smooth, and it never will.

Hopefully we can see this live one day to see what it REALLY sounds like.

[quote="rockman240"]The voice sounds so fake at times that the emotion is taken away. If it was not good enough without pitch correction, they should have just done another take, or two, or fifty. The last couple of lines could have been very moving.

Still, it's a decent song.[/quote]
I didn't notice any auto-tune, but now that you said that, once I get home from school and listen, I'll probably notice it and hate the song. :'( Thanks.

I'm kinda pissed my headphones are broken and now I have to contend with these shitty bass-only p.o.s. 'phones that I use to make calls on my ipod.

That being said, I'mma wait 'til my headphones arrive from Amazon before I give it a listen.

I think it's too early to comment on something like that because of the low-quality nature of the leak. There is a good bit of mud clogging it up at this point and there are a lot of specifics in the music that aren't coming through, like tones being blended or drowned out.

Perhaps. There were places with the Tedious release that had lots of auto as well... perhaps it won't bother me as much in CD quality.

Autotune is the indeed the scourge of pop music now, but I still think the amount of emotion lost due to Autotune is negligible. The ending is still the best part of the song for me.

Almost agreed. But something that's been lost in pillows music for me is the sound of the music in general. Songs like "Fool on the Planet" had the impact that they do because of not only the passion-filled vocals, but also the guitar tones. We all know that the pillows' guitars have lost the sharpness and/or crunchiness that they used to exhibit in their songs, and that this has given way to a more muddy sounding tone (though it's been better in recent releases, imo). Add to that excessive auto-tune and you get this... strange quality of sound. Parts that ares supposed to be louder and carry more passion seem.... well, muted. That's how I feel about it now. It'll surely sound much better at CD release, and maybe more passion will come out live? Still, I do find the ending the most entertaining as well.

Hmm, that makes sense. Like in the interview in which Sawao said something like, 'Century Creepers was actually recorded not that good, because my voice became a bit deformed, because I gave away my emotions too much.' I don't know the exact sentence, but it came down to this.

What he said in that interview was that the first take of the vocals they thought were a little off. But after they kept trying over and over to make it sound more smooth, they couldn't copy the emotion from that first take. And that first take is what is on the album, and why Sawao's voice sounds so raw and awesome.

So is he speaking in favor of the "deformed" voice?

Thank goodness, I couldn't really notice the auto-tune. I feel sort of lame for not noticing it, but at the same time, I'm glad it's negligible to me, because I was worried it'd be something like T-Paine and I just didn't notice because I wasn't looking for that in the song, so, I didn't notice it.

I really didn't notice it either. I did think it was way smooth, but I was happy with it, because I still felt it.
I am dying of curiosity for raw vocals to that song though.

Small detail - I actually recall this issue as that the recording levels were too high/sensitive, resulting in minor audio distortion. Like, he gave it a really good go, but it was a little too much for a pristine, 'clean' recording. Does anyone else remember this?
