Eminem should layer his vocals again

I know it's not natural, but damn it sounded good. That's why he sounded so forceful on TES. You can really hear the layering when you listen to his TES songs stripped of the music (a capella).
Check out Sing for the Moment a capella: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VIbfOnd ... re=related
At points, the layering makes him sound demonic...

Doesn't work as well...
Seriously, check the link. It's crazy what you can hear when the music's stripped out.

Agreed, he should also do those background noises again in some songs.

Agreed or maybe use a chorus flanger in his vocals.

Yeah Relapse sounded great, vocal wise (I'm not talking about the accents). Recovery just sounds like words playing with the music. They don't don't blended and deep like in TES or even Relapse. IDK, probably has to do with the production and not Em, but still, he needs to fix it. Eminem albums always had great production/mixing. I think Dre might be just as good at mastering as he is at making beats.

Em had a signature hook voice; You know the:
EEEHHHH groaning with the words thing?
Now days sounds like the songs were done on one take to save the recorders trouble with mic positioning.

Dre's pro at mastering or he wouldn't have an entire album of instrumentals that sound no different to the vocal versions lol!
I think he does the compressors on the album versions of songs but it's almost unnoticeable and when they remaster the albums they use a peak limiter on the songs volumes but the instrumentals are always the same original master volumes..Guess that affects the vocals delivery in general..
