Listening now. Thoughts:
His voice is doubled, maybe tripled, on the first track. The effect is one of canceling out a lot of the warbles, turning them into "chorus." Interesting.
This is just "modern sloppy" singing, and not even the worst of that.
(2nd track) I concur 100% with the Talking Heads analogy. This smacks of David Byrne-esq not givin a fuck. But he did it a LOT better. He was casual. This is careless. Goofy, for the sake of goofy. Ok, this is getting unbearable around 4:15.
Does anyone else notice that the background (behind the noticeable vocals) is pretty much 2 chords back-n-forth, 2/4 time, straight-ahead? I'm just sayin'... something should redeem this.
(3rd song) Ok, the david byrne jones is out of hand. This is not good, Haq. Man I'm sorry. I can see that this is Definately better than the live performance I saw, but it's still "Z-Grade," to quote loog. Mumbly, warbly, and that's ok, but you better be writing something good to make up for it, and he isn't. 3 chords (tops) and scoopy, mumbly vocals is just settling for flank steak when Filet Fucking Mignon costs the same amount. I can honestly say that if someone had told me this was a local highschool band, I'd have 1.) believed them, and 2.) not thought twice about it.
I seriously appreciate the time it took to post the songs, though. I listened to #2 twice, and #3 3 times.
