It's called tone, character and nuance, along with perfect phrasing, damn near perfect pitch and more control than any other singer, ever. Either you get that or you don't. You go ahead and pass, it'll be your loss, dude.

You don't need to stick a microphone down your throat to have tone and nuance Einstein. He has multiple other records that have that same 'perfect phrasing' that don't sound like he's blowing into a breathalyser at 2 in the morning. Thanks for trying to educate my opinion. I'll take it into consideration, while I get over the fact that I've somehow lost out on not enjoying the FTLOSM album. I really don't know how I'll survive.
How's that 'end of the year' source working for you now Nostradamus?
We'll see.

I'd forgotten what a joy it was to converse with you. Now I remember.Don't know why I bothered.
That won't happen again, don't worry.

Modern studio mixdown techniques usually result in all the inhalation and exhalation being removed from the vocal track... we've been condition to not hear this anymore because it's cut out.
I think Perry feels that leaving it in makes it sound more realistic.. which is true, since breathing is kind of a necessary part of singing...

I totally agree. People are used to listening to compressed crap on their ipods now. I love hearing the natural breathing. It adds to the intimacy of that CD.

I'm a firm believer that Perry's true genius is when he "wings it and sings it." This album was a calculated project of methodical musical nuances and, in the end, the result was shit.

While you make valid points, you also have to keep in mind the musical landscape of the time period. Journey-like music was not popular at all; everyone was all over grunge at that point... Nirvana this, Pearl Jam that... and FTLOSM obviously sounded nothing like Smells like Teen Spirit. Metal music had the same problem back then-- album sales dramatically decreased for metal bands unless they started pandering to the grunge trend or the whole Pantera macho-metal thing. Which goes to show how fickle some music 'fans' can be.
Even putting this into account, album sales still don't say anything for the quality of this album. Metallica's Saint Anger was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE in both production and musical quality. Yet, I believe it went platinum, just because hey! They were METALLICA! They were COOL! Steve Perry and Journey never really had that draw to them past the '80s, honestly.
