Yeah he wasn't that great, but how Mic can call 80s metal cheesy when that was basically 80s metal with cheese intact?

Just sayin' Wouldn't call Waltari 80's cheese since most of their music sounds distinctly 90's. |

Nah that was all kinds of 80s heavy/power metal with aesthetics half goofy 80s/half cringy 90s.

Just like Rick Astley or Weird Al.

I was low key expecting you to proclaim a love for Weird Al.

The reason I brought up Robert Smith was just to point out that he's an acquired taste. Just like the singer in Waltari. I complain a lot about singers, but I also like a lot of singers that are an acquired taste.

Robert Smith doesn't have what I'd call a conventionally "good" singing voice.
He's kinda weak and shrill. But if it fits the music, it fits the music. A lot of the singers that I like the least are actually singers that go all in and really over-sing and over-emote the hell out of things. Like James LaBrie in Dream Theater. He's one of the worst. |

LaBrie works pretty well on Images & Words and a scattering of other songs across their discography, but if DT were my band I woulda replaced him with the dude from Circus Maximus in '94. He can do the stuff LaBrie does vocally but he does it better and with more power.
