Scott. Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 When do you think Tom’s voice was at its peak? For me it’s the Box Car Racer album. Fucking perfection. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twentytwenty Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 I like his live voice in 2003. But I would probably say that his peak studio voice was in 2007 imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking perfection. I’d say BCR as well, it was still pretty good with Untitled but in places you can hear his voice going more “off” I do think he’s more comfortable now with how his voice has changed, though. It was problematic on WDNTW and probably it’s worst around I Empire and then just stuck around there. In later releases he seems to understand those limitations a little better and as a result some of his songwriting choices seem to focus on lower pitched elements more like Losing My Mind and Spellbound. It’s nowhere near the good old days and still sounds rough AF in some places but definitely isn’t his worst. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thongrider Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Uranus and Enema. Dude Ranch is the best album, but I like his singing more on those releases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude. His voice went to absolute hell on the Untitled tour and has never really recovered lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxelder Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 definitely TOYPAJ-era, but he's always been a very spotty vocalist. he sounds the most consistent at the peak of the band's fame, both live and in studio. he gets sloppier with each successive tour from there, and then there's a huge shift with AVA obviously (most clear when you compare distraction with anything else on WDNTW). to tell you the truth he's never really recovered. he sounded horrible on all the reunion blink tours, and it's pretty comical on the latest AVA dates/recordings. at least it appears the weird guttural grunts and noises he was into a decade ago are gone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 I think after "All the Small Things" he got known for the Tom DeLonge voice. And to me it sounds like he is trying to imitate his own voice on all the other albums after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, tiny voices came showed up on my big shuffle playlist today, have to agree. Been a while I listened to that album, so good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 There was the clearest dropoff ever with AvA, especially after WDNTW (he still had much Tom in some of those songs), but I really liked his voice on Rebel Girl for some reason (not peak by any means). TOYPAJ-Boxcar he had a really good peak, Untitled I love but that was a lot of Finn. Dude Ranch he was fun, but would definitely agree with the TOYPAJ-Boxcar vote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russel Coight Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Toypaj - untitled is peak Tom voice. I do have a soft spot for how he sounds on Cheshire though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
