> but man, those vocals tank the entire project

I believe most of us felt this way at some point when first hearing them, but to be honest, in time I totally fell in love with Tommy's vocals. Unique, and oddly charming!



Also thank you all the kind words.

They were certainly an acquired taste for me. I'm still not convinced he's a great vocalist, but I find them charming and fit the sound after exposure

Oddly charming agreed. And they got better, specially those cheesy highs XD



I think the fact he's imperfect makes me dig it over those flawless priests hehe

I don't even think the vocals themselves are uniquely bad or unlistenable - they're just mixed WAY too loudly and cut through the rest of the mix in a very jarring and unpleasant way. Which is a shame because, as has been previously noted in this thread, the production is otherwise stellar.

Sorry DDD, I guess I'll just have to live with that then 🤭



And yeah this "specially those cheesy highs XD". Love his vox, nerdy in a good way.

I will give this ablum couple more spins, but those vocals indeed are quite distracting from what is instrumentally super fun record.

This is pretty cool and will probably end up getting bumped to a 4 for me soon. Agreed on the vocals not being my thing to start with though. Hopefully they'll grow on me though because I straight up love this from an instrumental standpoint. Gonna go back and check out their previous stuff also

His vox are so nice! Surprised to learn so many people are less happy by them. Nicely nerdy, which fits enormously well with the fantasy/adventure theme, especially on the first two.
