I've gone to maybe a dozen shows at The Anthem and I've always been disappointed by the sound (and non-sloped floor, stage height, entry process). I keep saying I'll never go back but increasingly more and more bands I want to see are skipping 9:30 (which I adore) for The Anthem. I've moved all around the venue and tried each level, but I always find the sound muddy and the vocals too low in the mix for my taste
