Thanks Ki, but as you can see I did suss that out soon after, and corrected myself. I suppose I could just have gone back and deleted the bit about female vocals, but I wanted to show that I'm not infallible (though I am)
and also how the guy's voice made such an impression on me, and was so different that I did in fact mistake it for female. Always think it makes the review seem a little more real/honest if you admit the mistakes you made while reviewing, eg "There are no ballads on this album --- oh wait, there's one" or "This beautiful piano piece which lulls you to --- ah. Just became a heavy guitar-oriented track. I see." Leaves you with more of an impression of this being a first-time review, as all these are.
