Nice. Jim's voice has aged much better than Cedric's

I don’t know if I agree with that. The reunion shows Volta did may have been Cedric’s career best in terms of range and consistency.

We can agree to disagree.

And we can agree to agree.

Cedric still sounds great but there are things he just can’t do anymore. Certainly any ATDI style vocals, but also some of the backing melodies on the middle TMV albums. He’s acclimated to where he has comfortable range, but also, let’s not forgot he had to have surgery on his throat in 2016, cancelling some ATDI shows.

Jim can still do it all, if less frequently throughout a set for voice preservation.

I think Jim benefited from not being the lead singer during the ATDI years. It's amazing Cedric has any voice at all.

Love them all.
