Query: This could have been a exceptional album...

There is a lot of nice progressive guitar and keyboard work going on here. It's too bad this band chooses to use silly, irrating death vocals for the entire album, otherwise they really might have had something here. Musically this band is a 4 or even 5. I must say I can't stand the vocals... the person singing sounds like he's coughing, spitting, gargling, or in actuality anything but singing. I just can't believe a band this talented wouldn't do something to change this.
