I think he sounded better last year than the last time I saw them in 08. The strain is definitely there, but the dude's on the verge of 50 and still sounds way better than my non-smoking ass at 37.Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 250

Riot Act was a great step in that regard. Then they just had to Comatose their way back to the punk and squeeling...Gardenparty said:its natural. dudes pushing 50 (or is he 50 already).
nows the time for PJ to chill it out a bit and find songs that fit his current voice."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
Honestly I think he sounds great, I love his vocal style of the 2013/2014 shows in general
I am not just saying that either, I would have no problem admitting if he sounded bad. But he doesn't0 -
What's great about Ed's voice is that is has changed over time, and there is a certain "sound" of his voice in each era. You can distinctly tell what year or time period it is when you hear his voice on a boot. I like the evolution and his voice is still phenomenal.
My favorite Ed voice is No Code / Yield era.Bristow, VA - 5.13.10

Charlottesville, Va (October 29, 2013) is the best I've heard him in years. Get that boot.0

a lot more cracking, high pitched squeels at times, and way way too much multi-syllable singing of single syllable words. The become Th---ah. I hate when he pulls out blood it just trashes his voice the rest of the night sometimes. I still love his voice and hope the smoking rumor is true, I think that has take a tremendous toll on his singing and stamina0

91-05veddertown said:I thought he sounded ok in 2012 but was pretty rough on the Backspacer tour. He still sounds good now although I'd say he is a pale shadow of the singer he was from 98-05.
. I honestly never notice any vocal issues during the shows, so I'm not worried at all.
For the smoking rumours, I thought I'd read that he quit, but it was actually that he just doesn't do it all the time:

He doesn't smoke during Even Flow anymore so that has to say something.

It sounds great to me still. i know its not 1994 but it has its own greatness. The end of Release can get off a bit and infallible. maybe a few others but if you mess up 2 or 3 hell you got 28 other songs to make up for it.0

Yeah I've heard that before about the Multi-Syllable singing on Single-Syllable words and I agree...The recent Bootlegs I've listened to the 2013 US Tour and the Australian BDO shows there was less of it which is goodhrd2imgn said:a lot more cracking, high pitched squeels at times, and way way too much multi-syllable singing of single syllable words.

Just listened to the SiriusXM version of Werchter Festival and Ed's voice held up really well and was strong throughout. None of the scratchiness that was noticed in Amsterdam 2 and Oslo. I guess he wasn't in perfect health after his leg injury and his voice improved across the tour.0
