Whisper-gay emo vocals + IDM = ungood

A clear case can be made in this respect. Did someone forget to tell these geeks that they cant sing? or that whispering isnt a valid replacement for singing? They must be under some sort of LED-glow induced delusions of grandeur. Too many good albums are being sent to the graveyard because of this very disturbing new trend. Since when has it become cool to be emasculated and emotional?

mum has always had vocals in their songs since Yesterday was Dramatic today is okay.

and the vocal in mum is definitely not "Whisper-gay emo vocals", at least not to me anyway.

or maybe you like vocal sung by a vocoder like that japanese producer, shit, what is his name...???

When it comes to IDM/Experimental, the less vocal the better. Its pure clash, the nuances of sound are completely destroyed by the lead.

it all depends on how you treat and use the vocal.

even the new Mice Parade album has some of these elements, but it's far from IDM/experimental :tongue:

Some i agree with.....
for instance
the "NEW" telefon tel aviv....why did they feel that they had to ruin a perfectly good album with vocals.

Sixtoo......what do you mean? I don't get the comment? Are you refering to Damo Suzuki?

you forgot to mention that all of these artists have COMPLETELY different aesthetics...

and, whaddafuck is this supposed to mean: "Did someone forget to tell these geeks that they cant sing?"

you honestly think that the guy that sings on TTA album sings poorly?
and cex doesn't even sing. he raps. but you know that.
i guess.


besides, your point is pointless.
most of the bands i listen to have terrible singers, and yet, somehow, they manage to create great songs and great albums.
holy gosh!


"Since when has it become cool to be emasculated and emotional?"

uhmmmm... what?
