Maybe Greenspan just knows his range better but he never sounds as if he's straining to hit any notes (and he can belt it out at times, and he's not averse to sustaining notes). I can't imagine J Boys would ever sound ramshackle - they make a point of always sounding very clean, pure, pristine; and when they're remixed to be uptempo it's always worked fine.

The key difference between Greenspan and Taylor though is that Greenspan's voice comes into its own when the music is stripped away (eg 'When No One Cares' or 'FM'), whereas Taylor's sounds exposed.
