to be fair to lex's obsession with singing voices, i noticed ages ago that singing style can put me off a band before i notice how good their songs are OTHERwise.
like a lot of ppl, i JUST CAN'T STICK that warbling "soul" singing style. the same can be said of ppl like him out of muse who tries for the vocal acrobaits bollix.
when i did a singing course once, one week the class leader used some awful recent ( <2 years) cover version done by some r&b band (and i mean someone good, someone i like on other songs) and the entire class hated it. we'd lapped up pretty much every other song and singing style to that point (including Walk on By, and Ribbons in the Sky - Stevie Wonder) and nothing had irked us all quite so much.
