Chester's vocals then and now

I was agreeing with you? I never said he sounded bad on any of those songs, only that those were examples of layering and whatnot.

 

I thought the Guitar Center Sessions performance was really strong

 

dont know lol what i said about him sounding bad now was not a reply to you, sorry

indeed, sounded good to me

 

But you quoted me when you said it lol. So confused.

 

not all i said was related to your post. i think

 

I think Chester definitely hit his peak onstage in 2004-2006, before reaching rock bottom in 2008-2009. A Thousand Suns cycle was a little better but I've found in general he's been making a comeback ever since 2012. Sure he's had off nights, but I can find recordings from even his best years where he's sounded below-average. No vocalist will ever sound perfect every night performing what he does.
