Well somebody certainly didn't like it, you'd probably find it used from him, better yet he sounded like he'll throw it away - "Better yet, don't scar yourself by listening to it at all, and spare yourself Tipton's mushmouthed, can't-even-fix-it-in-the-studio, sub-Ringo Starr vocal."
I take everything at that site with twizers. I'll check as soon as leak but I can't believe is that bad. As for Tipton vocals they're mediocre so what? I like them in BOF and frankly can't be worse than the average grunter or screecher.
I agree, the vocals can't be too different than BOF, and I thought they weren't bad on that album. I hope this release is better than the reviewer would lead one to believe.
