He really is, especially considering how rough he sounded by the end of the Dream Tour, with the Hyde Park DVD being one of the worst examples. He definitely did
something, I have no idea what, during the two years between tours that made a tremendous difference.
The first I heard him after the break was in November of 2011, when he did a couple of shows with Joe Grushckey and the Houserockers in Pittsburgh; I heard parts of the first show streamed through someone's iPhone
(I went to the second show), and even at that sound quality, I was absolutely stunned at how great he sounded. (It was even better in person, obviously)

I'm really curious, though, Wario, just how much of his stuff you've listened to, because there really is a lot, and all the albums are different. Sometimes songs might take a few listens to click, also.
Like Lucy (and others) have said, the live versions of songs are much better. Maybe try watching the "Live in New York City" or "Live in Barcelona" DVD' s. The Hard Rock Calling DVD is good, too- it looks and sounds great, and has some great songs on it, but his voice was pretty shot.
