And what makes him “cling to his metal vocals”? Is he barking, or singing, or is he doing both? Is he the Tuvan throat singer of popular American music? Has he somehow managed to capture the spirit of two different things simultaneously?

He doesn't have any range, that's the problem. He tries to have range, he tries to sing high, he tries to sing low, and he sounds ****ty doing them all.
How is he NOT clinging to his metal voice? What's not to get about that. He still sounds like his old self, but like he's trying to impersonate Billy Corgan's style. That's not what I call a vocal that sounds good in ANY genre.
Megadeth's take on progress:
Metallica's take on progress:
na na naaaa naaa naaaaaaa na na na na naaaa.... wtf was that. Was that James? Billy Corgan? Cliff Burton haunting the track and making the most feminine sound he could possibly make? Either way, it sounds like ****.
But with that said, the music isn't terrible in that song. It's not great either, but I'll give Metallica that, the music has always kind of been there more often than not.
