Title: Overwrought vocals mar excellent instrumentation
Review: The Amazon site "if you like this artist" led me to buy this disc unheard (Who can get RealAudio to work properly anyway?) I had read about them in Spin, so I gave it a shot. The music is fantastic; "a 50s sci-fi/horror flick vibe" as one reviewer described it, is accurrate. But instead of understated cool-jazz like vocals, Beth's singing is overly mannered, doesn't match the music behind her, and grates like a nails on a blackboard.
Is the review positive or negative?
