I can't think of a more useless and boring subject than geography off the top of my head. So I don't blame you.

I knew where a lot of countries were in the world but when it came to coastal erosion, meandering rivers and other stuff, that's where I failed.

Plus in the exam, you had to draw stuff and I'm useless at drawing.

Have you heard Winds, Matt?  That's the perfect example of terrible vocals.

Their keyboardist is pretty awesome though.

They have an hilarious high-pitch dude singing on one of their albums.  The other album I heard by them he wasn't present though.

That's the first song Kevin posted. Like I said it was cool and groovy, but not feeling the vocals.

I'm gonna play this really loud to cover up the god-awful rap coming from next door.

The first song was really groovy. It kind of had a Sikth thing going on until the vocals came in. 

Listening to this song now. They're pretty good, but the vocals really aren't doing it for me. I can't pinpoint the band, but they really remind me of some generic metal band. 

Spencer's vocals are both lauded and panned by critics, he does have a pretty generic metalcore voice.  It doesn't bug me but I can definitely see why others wouldn't like it.

They actually had a different vocalist in the first video I posted, the 15 minute one is their current singer and the guy who sings on the album.  They offer an instrumental version of the album if the vocals really bug you, and some people prefer the instrumental one.

The voice is my favorite instrument, so it's a bit disappointing. But vocals alone won't stop me from listening to a band. I'll check out some more.

Ah ok. I'd rather suffer through terrible vocals than listen to an album without vocals that was written to have vocals.

The whole album appears to be on the b00btube.

Oh and look who's on drums.

Something weird is going on.  Nothing is coming out of my Laptop speakers.  Headphones are fine though.  The speaker better not have broke.

Me too.  I like instrumental music, but I don't like the instrumental version of their album because it's not written to be an instrumental album.  It's written to have the vocals be part of the music, and if you take those out it loses a crucial element, regardless of how much you didn't like the vox.
