Whoever recorded this thank you, the quality is flawless!

this is a much better version. wow

Sorry, but I prefer Ripper on this one.

That's the worst thing. The content that Ripper sung over worked better for his skill set. And since Barlow and him have different approaches to singing, some songs when played live sounded bad. Like this one. But sounds like "The Clouding" work well for either singer.

@@thesentinelsfootballchanne3212I completely agree, the Matts version of The Clouding is basically just as awesome as Tims.

Barlow is out of his depth here. It sounds like he lacks conviction because he's struggling with the notes and has to take care of that first. Notice how much better he hits the notes when he gets a bit rough or shouty. He's working too hard, not letting compressors and whatever else do their job. You can make yourself sound loud without having to raise your voice if you know how the different devices affect your dynamic range. People don't realize how much things like compression and saturation reduce the natural dynamic range of a voice and how FX can add notes and all this. That said, Barlow could deliver a much better version of these Glorious Burden songs if given time.
