You’re better off just listening to these two examples and hearing it rather than reading my explanation

That Gorge '02 Grey St is one of my go to favorite versions. It is INSANE how much different this band sounds. Their sound was so tight back in 02 compared to now every song is a race to finish that there is no neuance to the way they play anymore. Its like a completely different band (which it kind of is)
