I consider it instrumental if the voices do not contain words meant to be understood by the audience (e.g. Larks' Tongues In Aspic) and/or do not coincide with the musical content (i.e. voices at the start, then music).

What do you guys think? I'd say no. Unless it's really only a little bit. If it's a poem to music, like John Cooper Clark, then no. If it's music with some brief words or noises, like Weidorje, then possibly.

It's so hard to say almost. Stuff like TD or Ozrics definitely is instrumental and music with singing definitely isn't, but in between that it's harder to tell.

I would say Weidorje is instrumental.

See you later!

Also, if it's sampled speech, like Godspeed, that's instrumental.

*Sigh* It's lonely being a metalhead in here. Granted a metalhead that listens to music other than metal, but still...

You're so gay, you got My Chemical Romance to re-record The Black Parade for you and repackage it as The Gay Parade.

Which is amusing, 'cause Gerard Way is gay in a very Gerard Way kinda way.

What do you guys think? I think it is. Except if the spoken voices take the main spotlight. Like recited poetry for example. If it's only ambient spoken voices, I call it instrumental.

This could actually warrant quite an interesting discussion topic.

Thanks for the responses, guys!

Yeah, that's logical. I only started wondering since I'm listening to our band's first album (which we just finished and is to be released after I copyright and all that other crap), and it's all instrumental except an occasional vocal phrase and artistic use of several voices at the beginning of another song that fits the concept.

I cannot eat McDonalds anymore, it just doesn't taste right.
I only eat Burger King and KFC (well, given that's about all the fast food choices we have around here anyway).
