Title: Decent music, but awful emo vocals
Product review: Got this album as a highly recommended piece from bnrmetal.com. Unfortunately, it doesn't really live up to the expectations I placed on it.First things first- the music is good. Good melodies, crunchy guitars and great drums by Pat McGrath who is no longer with Prototype. Not a ridiculous amount of flash, but enough to make it interesting. Not too much to annoy.So everything works except for the singer. Vince Levalois is absolutely awful. His voice is that annoying numetal/emo punk whine. Exactly that sound. It's awful and mismatched to the music. He even goes as far as making those pitch (whine) changes just like those Green Day type bands. It simply doesn't work and completely negates the great musicianship.A one for the singing and five for the music would've averaged to a 3, but the singing is that bad. I bought the album for $16 from the local record store. I would not recommend it for that price.Definite potential, but they have to get a new singer.
