I frankly could not care less about the nu metal influence. I think it comes with that whole Glassjaw/Deftones type sound that these guys have adopted.

Anyway, the energy really floored me here, and I think the rapping/fast screaming/whatever was warranted. As far as singles go, this rocked.

I can see why the "rapping" is divisive, but it fits really well into Butler's vocal style. It adds to the grit and hard edge he's going for, and as out of place as I expected it to be, it meshed surprisingly well with the overall song.

We're all pretty accepting of the rap vocal style. Everyone prominent user here enjoys hip hop to some degree and hence
enjoy rapping. It's just people don't like it in this song.

As for me, I barely consider it rapping. I think the nature of Letlive's fast, groove heavy style lets those vocals in really well
without turning them into some Ronnie Radke bullshit.
