I agree completely. Musically it's a great album but the vocals distract from it and are totally unneccesary. My opinion is just based on scanning through the tracks over the weekend but even still the vocals were too much at times. Just when you start to get into a track these lame vocals kick in and just make you cringe. I guess they're going for the crossover thing. Andy
