The very same! They call him ‘Big Tone’ not just because this name is Tony. It’s also because of his outstanding attention to detail with the overall sound (or tone) of the albums he works on.

I’m sure Big Tone is already mixing it.

Or he could just sing it down the octave.

I like the Mandrake Project. There isn’t a song I dislike. My major gripe with the album is the compilation nature of it. You can clearly hear at least 3 versions of Bruce. 2024 post-cancer Bruce with a lisp. 2013 Bruce Pre-2000 Bruce I just find it jarring to hear his voice get younger as...

I’m sorry, but I am with @GhostofCain on this issue (as with most things!). Bruce is the weakest link at the moment. Not Simon.

I do understand. But Eddie wouldn’t have lived long if the music was shit.

It’s similar to being treated like a toddler.
