Music that you don't listen to?

Overall it's far to crude and rough for me. Vocals are a big thing for me in music, if I don't like a singer I find it hard to listen to the rest though I understand that the screaming vocal style is something that has to grow on you. I'm just generally not fond of the down tuned guitars chugging and just the whole vibe of it all. It's not for me.

I'll listen to the songs posted when I have a chance and give them a fair try but I'm not sure I'll like them. Again, it's really just not what I like to listen to.

Those bands sound very different from Killswitch and BMtH. If you don't like screaming, though, then they may very well still not be your cup of tea.

Or you could be like me. I was advised by Janszoon to think of the vocals (be they death, screamo, grunt, growl, animal noises, ten cats in a bag, whatever --- note: I initially wrote "ten cats in a vag"!

so p-i-p does NOT stand for "picture-in-picture" after all?

) as just another instrument. That kind of didn't work, but putting them to one side and concentrating on the music has allowed me to get into metal I could never have done a few years ago. I mean, I'm actually listening to this right now, and enjoying the **** out of it! Anyone here who knows me will tell you this is very much a

But...vocals are an instrument.

Yeah, but we don't think of them as such. If someone says what instruments do you play, and you don't, but you sing, you'd say none, but I sing. They're generally not looked on as a musical instrument. I find, anyway.

The voice is an instrument, mate, just like how rap can be music too.

Example: I'm going to cut the princess's head off (one princess) or I'm going to cut the princesses' heads off (more than one). No?
