Sigh is fantastic, and while Focus isn't in my top ten albums or anything, it's still pretty awesome, even with the weak vocals.

I never really got the appeal of Sigh, tbh. It's decent stuff but I'm not sure why they come up in conversations about the best avant-garde albums like these.

And I don't understand how people can actually sit down and listen to Obscura all the way through.

You were repping the vocals for Focus in another thread, now you're saying they suck?

I said I dig the vocoder vocals. The death growls are weak though.

It sounds pretty to me. A mod should change the thread title so that grindy will stop avoiding it.

Already PM'ed Goofle. And Grindy's been voting in pretty much every round since he got here. It's Janszoon who's been avoiding it.

Edit: Oops. I was thinking of TechniclePinkPanther instead of Grindy for some reason.

It's the exact opposite for me. The ****ty vocorder effects are annoying, and this is coming from someone who loves Daft Punk's vocorder effects, but the growls are amazing.

Honestly the only kind of death metal vocals I'm okay with are growls and screaming in small doses. Haven't ever been able to stand the screams of Gorguts, or any Death album after Human, for example. Bolt Thrower and Suffocation totally slay though. It's also the reason I don't like Fantômas.

Fantômas doesn't have death metal vocals though.
