Understand the vocal criticism but they really color this whole album with its hypnagogic aesthetic

The vox are dreamy and perfect for the dreamy atmosphere. Even if he does sound like he has a frog in his throat sometimes haha

Most everything on here is a 5. There are just a few interludes holding this back for me. But I feel for all intents and purposes this is basically a 5. The stronger parts here are like a 6 luls

I felt that for sure but how can you deny the goddamn desperation of Whoa is Me, the pain of Canyon, the beauty of Sanzen and that riff in Of The Room. Idk man

The "solemn detachment" of the vocals is definitely intentional.

To me it just sounds like he chooses one of three notes to end each vocal line with, and the rest he just sings random aimless notes hoping his over-the-top dramatic delivery will disguise the lack of creativity in any of the melodies

The canyon behind her is one of my favorite songs ever still to this day

I see what Yotimi means and I do agree to an extent, it wouldn't be weird at all for someone to find the vocals boring. I personally dig the lyrics more than the actual vocals. Anyway the instrumental work has always been the album's strength to me, that's where the "magic" mostly comes from.

The vocals are detached as a delivery method for the words, which themselves seem present only to further paint the aesthetic and invoke specific feelings. Some folks vibe with it and some don't. These aren't "traditional" vocals so it shouldn't be surprising that many find them boring. It is basically warbling with few distinct notes. In my mind it is just another element which blends successfully into the central theme making this one of the most successful concept albums I've ever heard.

At its heart this is an atmospheric and lyrical album so it’s not surprising to find the vox boring but it’s doing the album an extreme disservice to only look at that aspect.

Wonder what the fuck this band is doing? No albums since 2011. It's a shame because I found them an interesting band. The singers voice is very unique. I talked to him on Twitter and he's confirmed that the band is still a band and doing things but we haven't heard or seen anything.

Sometimes it just takes time. I bet these guys have busy lives outside of music.
