I don't think their vocal style is particularly distinctive, as it is for example with the Dirty projectors or Antony Hegarty, nor do they have particularly memorable voices, like Win Butler from the Arcade fire. It would be better if the woman doesn't sing at all but that wouldn't change the fact that the songs vocally don't really go anywhere. It's as if the rest of the band got some really cool ideas but the singer(s) just didn't manage to follow up on them...I dunno if I'm making sense here. Anyways, it's all subjective...:\
