LOL

[Gilad]

I'd ease up on the bolds a bit, try only leaving his absolute best vocal displays. Like the Medicine D3s aren't all that amazing

[Smitty.]

i'd wait til i hear more opinions
i might remove some anyways

[Smitty.]

So The EP from 2004 will be notewatched by my good friend aphelion , i'll let y'all know when its done being notewatched.
Edit: also forgot to put the background C#3 in 1x1
Edit: So onemorelight17 the EP is notewatched and what the actual fuck, theres a F6 that i am debating counting

[Smitty.]

youtu.be/081RcrS6P9I?t=704 would y'all count this whistlecore F6?

I was expecting something worse tbh.
Countable imo

[Smitty.]

yea aphelion was having a hard time notewatching this EP because all of it was fucking scream fuck knows why oli doesnt scream as much anymore.
Its a Note for sure. but i am not sure if i'd count it

What about the live Bb5 from Diamonds aren't forever? Is intentional

[Smitty.]

Could go either way tbh. I'll review on the discord with other members and see what they think.
and if you have notes to share. share em.

Next week I will have finished my exams and I will be a little more active🤗. I have some notes from various singers that I have to share. there is also a Howard Jones expansion that I will send you later.

[Smitty.]

Hope you do well man.
Also do you think the B4 in "One Day The Only Butterflies Left Will Be In Your Chest As You March Towards Your Death" are him? at first it was a girl then i started hearing a male hit them? but i am skeptical
Edit: we got a new 4OW shared the F6 in the discord. they said its countable. Way to go oli.

I can't believe that this guy has 4 octaves. 👀👀
About the B4: doesn't sound like oli imo

[Smitty.]

Thanks! and yea even tho its not the best still countable anyways.
I have no idea how he notewatched this EP lmao. and i dont think oli has any significant lows besides growls on this EP

I wouldn't count it man. G♯5 to F6 it is kind of a big jump.

[Smitty.]

I mean
its not the worst note ever
and i shared it on the discord and majority said its fine enough
unless if more people come up and agree its not countable
i will think otherwise

[Bes]

That new F6 is what the edge of my seat was made for

I mean the note is kinda okay, the thing is that usually big jumps like that, shouldn't be counted, please admins correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit

Compare it to something like that, which, is not counted in the main thread, I don't see much difference tbh link

[Smitty.]

Can´t listen to the link right now
later tho
i mean it may be a big jump but i don´t think(correct me if i´m wrong) it should really matter tbh.

[clem]

With a range gap that big, I'm thinking that F6 is for the spoiler too. It wasn't awful, but it doesn't make me think he could have hit all the notes in between, and more than likely just fluked a 6th octave note once.

[Smitty.]

he has a couple more on this album but theyŕe all fucking monkey noises
if one more person comes up about it being in the spoiler, iĺl spoiler it.
Edit: tbf i wasnt completely sold on it either but most people said it was countable so i just counted it

[onemorelight17]

What did they do to my boy?  If we count the live Bb5 (countable imo) as I said previously it would not be such a big range gap :P :P

[Smitty.]

I deadass forgot the link lol
someone re link that note.
