During the Life Starts Now era his voice wasn't amazing live, it honestly sounded similar to how it did in their live performance in May. Which leads me to believe all the lack of polished vocals in these songs is directly tied to the studio work. Transit of Venus sounded great, as far as his voice goes, so whoever worked on his vocals with 3DG deserves a Nobel Prize

^ If I recall correctly, that is a solo Gontier song he's had around for awhile

Another song by these guys I can't really get behind. Ugh

Well guys, this record sucks

Officially disappointed. Was hoping the finished record would be better than what we've been given thus far, but that has proven to NOT be the case

HUGE disappointment. HUGE. Not buying the album

A band composed of these musicians has no excuse as to why they can't put out a quality album

I'll make my thoughts once I get a listen of it. However, based on the songs I've heard, and what you thought about it, this could go down, along with Three Days Grace's Human album, as the least favorite albums I've heard this year.

I listened to some of the songs that were posted in here (surprisingly many actually) and wasn't impressed. Won't listen to the entire album. I didn't think it was as bad as some people made it to be though, but you guys were probably expecting more from it. I never was a big 3DG fan to start with.

In all honesty, it's not a bad album. It's way better than what Three Days Grace offered this year. I have a bad grading scale, but I usually think if I find, at least, five songs from the album that I could add to my Spotify playlist, it gets at least a 7/10. I found those five songs already in the form of Better Place, Even Though I Say, Fairy Tale, Waste My Time, and Dying Slowly. Dying Slowly really does sounds like a Three Days Grace track that I would hear on radio (which is kinda of a good sign).

It's an all right album all in all.

Since the lead singer is with three days grace, does this mean that My Darkest Days are no more?


Ehh forget it. I just googled it.

Not really a fan of this band. Never thought the singer had much range, even in younger days with 3DG.

Doesn't really. Only has about 2 octaves. Half the range Myles has. Has more than Mark though. But 3DG was much better than this is now.

This is what singers say when their voice is on a downward slope. Shame
Sad but true.
I dont think most singers' voices improve with age. Touring and whatnot....

Lol, by that standard, that means that most singers dont have much range.

Please. Not trying to get technical here, but Myles probably only has around 3 ish or so actually usable octaves, especially live etc. Most singers cant nail super high notes like he can anyways.

Sorry if that sounds almost dickish. Im a very straightforward person.


----What is Adam gonna do when Staind are touring? Just do solo work or something?

If by useable octaves, you mean the range of his voice that spans singing words without just doing 'high notes' He can sing from B♭1 to a G5. Everything after G5 is 'high notes'. That in itself is already 3 octaves and 7 'notes' so just under the highest point of his 4 octaves.

I meant to say something else. Here let me try again....

what i mean to say was


Its more likely E2 -G5. Do i know for sure? No, but its a LOT more likely. Notes that u can only reach by speaking or by screaming at the top of ur lungs arent supposed to technically count, cuz u dont actually sing them.

so that would make it more around 3 octaves and 3 notes.


My observation is somewhat speculation but the thing is, ppl on those type of websites can get thing wrong from time to time.

Anyways, thats all i have to say.

Considering this thread is about Saint Asonia I suggest we drop this conversation. Regardless of who's right or wrong, I didn't even ask for an argument about who thinks they know more about singers vocal ranges than the other person. I was just supporting Drew's observation by using Myles as an example for range.

So, they released a new album, last year, called Flawed Design. I given this one full listen, but I think I liked this better than their previous album. Sure, like Breaking Benjamin's albums, it's brings nothing new to the table when you got the former, more-well known, Three Days Grace singer and the guitarist from Staind, but as a guy that grows up on that 00s alt metal sound, I like it. Having some guest vocals like Sully Erna of Godsmack and Sharon Den Adel of Within Temptation in a few songs helped a bit as well.

Ghost and Martyrs are the standouts for me. It's good to see Adam Gontier back in the fray since I was wondering what happened to him and he had to deal with some personal problems in between albums. Hopefully, I get to see these guys in some form live, but with Staind doing a big summer tour with Disturbed (which I am going to a show), it remains to be seen.
