just want to put out there that i do think he's the best in the genre

EDIT: presuming by the genre we mean either metalcore or progressive metalcore. don't think i'd say he's the best in all of metal but in my top 3 or so.

FYI, that was me who said that, not Fool.

I havent the diversity to be able to pin down metal to its smaller sub genres. When I think of amazing metal vocalists, Im thinking about Symphony X and Dream Theater. Which may not be fair because they might be the truly exceptional in the larger metal genre. Even less classically amazing vocalists, whether were talking Metallica or System of a Down or Avenged Sevenfold, have a sound that, for me, merges with the guitars, drums, etc.

With Protest the Hero, I was just struck by what, to my ears, sounded dischordant. Thats probably not the right musical term but I think you get the idea. It was so bizarre that it was hard for me not to focus on that. On the relisten it wasnt as bad, though that somewhat comes from knowing what Im going to hear.
