I prefer Jesse over Howard though. Howard suited the bands sound for the time he was with them. But I felt that Jesse overall just fits the entire catalog the band has better. I agree about the song. One of their best.

I'd honestly take Howard. Early Killswitch could be downright brutal, but the difference between that and the melodic choruses sounded jarring and inappropriate. The first dude was great when he wasn't "singing" though. Howard doesn't have nearly as good a scream, but his clean singing goes so much better with where KE went, and since the band is playing more to that side of their sound the finished product sounds more cohesive.
