How Brad Delp uses that range
Head-mix blend is the engine: he carries a light, ringing coordination to the top of the staff so full-voice lines and falsetto meet seamlessly. Vowels stay tall and pure, vibrato modest, onsets clean. He tunes stacked harmonies against his own lead, so intonation discipline is absolute. The copying error is belting where he floats; those long fifth-octave sustains are balanced, twangy mix, and muscling them in pure chest guarantees cracking and pitch sag.
