The duality and harmony of Stacy and Sherri definitely was part of what drew me to Eisley in the first place. I would not want them to ever break up the band. don't be too sure! i hear there used to be a rather significant contingency of girl fans who would go to Eisley live shows thinking, "i come for the meaningful lyrics, but i stay for the rhythm section!" _________________ "Die Sonne scheint noch" -- Sophie Scholl <3 <3 <3 |

It keeps me from completely tiring of them, maybe. This, definitely. It is one reason why I'm willing to buy the entire album from them (multiple versions  ) as I know it won't be just like listening to the same song 10 times. Plus, they have great vocal interplay. All works in their favor, at least to my ears and tastes.

For the longest time since Room Noises I've always preferred Sherri's vocal styles and thought Stacy's were fine. But I'm just blown away by Stacy on The Valley album. It started with the Fire Kites EP when I heard Ambulance and The Valley. Then, I first heard the new album and my instant favorites happen to be written by Stacy. Her voice is just growing on me like mad. Love it! And yeah, I totally agree about being able to more easily distinguish who wrote what song on this album. I think it's great. I'm really digging both styles and it makes for a really enjoyable album. Yet another album from Eisley where I don't ever feel the need to skip tracks. |

The only reason people argue over it on this forum is because barely anyone can say they love one lead without taking a dig at the other. If you look at their most "popular" or well-known songs it's pretty much split down the middle. Indeed. The digs at the less-favored member are what strike me as most pointless and silly. Yeah, I'm actually kind of shocked by some of the remarks a couple people have made. I'm all for people having opinions and preferences, but when they're said as fact and in a harsh way to boot, I can't help but cringe. I'll just run off and listen to "I Wish" again and nod my head like yeah to both Sherri's and Stacy's vocals. _________________ "I cannot discuss your verses; for any attempt at criticism would be foreign to me.

I can't chose one or the other. Stacy sounds so great on Watch It Die and Sherri sounds especially great on I Wish. I feel like when she sings in the lower range she shines more.

After reading that whole thread and shaking my head a few times, I just want to go on record and say that I absolutely love Eisley. The band. The unit. The family. It's 20-20-20-20-20 for me.

Just because you can sing high, doesn't mean you should. Exactly. To be honest, I love Sherri's voice in the low range, but she pushes high notes so often it drives me crazy. Though she's always been more "pop punk" her vocals are now reminding me of Haley Williams She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Sad would potentially be my favorite song on the album if Sherri's vocals didn't screech so much.  _________________

^ You're selling Paul short, and painting a rosier picture of his temperament that others would suggest, like you know, the drummer and guitarists that didn't always get to play their instruments on his tracks 
Both were wicked good. A vote for George is a Vote for Chauntelle
Hey Jude vs. Imagine: which is the better piano ballad? Sherri is a big Paul fan, but seems to be the Lennon of Eisley, but looks can be deceiving... _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB
