Title: Decent music ruined by unlistenable vocals
Review: Not sure I really even need to add much to my title, which says it all. I'd read/heard a fair amount about Converge, so decided I had to check them out. Umm, I don't get it. I listen to all genres and can really appreciate the ones touched on by Converge, which I'd say are metal, progressive rock, "math" rock, and some hardcore. If you completely remove the vocals from the mix, I might even enjoy this record. If you replaced them with someone who could either sing, or even bark/shout in some listenable way (like say, the singer in Unsane), I might even listen to it a lot...But *this* is seriously a joke. Who wants to listen to 45 minutes of unintelligible screaming? I very rarely judge, but I just don't get those of you who dig this. Good luck to you. Feel free to explain to me how you could enjoy this or what you get out of it.
