Hessian Peel- Better As An Instrumental?

[Draehl]

After digesting Watershed a little more I have to say that I love the instrumental work on Hessian Peel. (BUT) Mike's vocals just don't work very well on this song. I normally (well, every song but this one) love Mike's vocals but his singing on this song just doesn't vibe with me. It's not that the lyrics are bad, or that the way he sings it is off, it just doesn't mesh with the music. Something about it makes the flow of the song and the flow of the vocals not mesh together.

Very excellent work on all fronts from the band as a whole however! Would have loved to have this song as an instrumental.

 

[Vega Skater]

I understand what you're saying, but I'd still prefer the vocals to be present.

However the 'Lock the children away from harm' is brilliant and I think the backwards vocals flow nicely as well.

 

[Hedon-]

it might be boring without vocals =()

 

[cheechonaleash]

Personally, I really like this track. One of my favourites from the new disc!

 

[bahadur]

I think the vocals are great. They are always fly in my mind. Matter of taste and music perception.
And growling here kicks some serious ass!

 

[terrorbakis]

Great song as it is! Specially the riff at 04.14.. pure magic!

 

[Godhead59]

Brilliant song! I wouldn't change a single thing about it. The string section & 06:31-07:24... Total eargasm.

 

[Carta's]

The string section reminds me of the lead of A Fair Judgement...

 

[BlueSky]

Not a chance.

 

[magnum_valentino]

I think its my favourite song ever, after a month's listening...

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

A great song all by itself, doesn't need anything to be changed.

 

[in_my_time_of_disease]

Nar...not a fan of that idea at all.

 

[joshthesquash]

The backward vocal section in this song is my favourite backward vocal section I've ever heard. It sounds amazing.

 

[Words of Credence]

I LOLed when Mike sang the backwards part on the DVD. He even loled himself.

Yeah, he seems quite amused, I giggled.

ffs, NO. Mike's voices are genious on this song.
I see Hex Omega more like an instrumental.

 

[Holocaust on the Moon]

No, I need to hear about the children crying. I think the vocal line is great.

 

[philno]

can't see the problem with his vox at all

 

[Shredzilla]

No. I think Mikael's singing on this song is phenomenal.
