I think people who are specifically fans of of harsh vox will enjoy it, but those of us who don’t pledge any fealty to the style (works in some places, not in others) probably won’t come away thinking that stylistic choice enhances the experience.

At best, it’s good enough to hear at least once _despite_ the vocals; an accomplishment all its own. But so far, the song I like the most is the instrumental, and I’m not an instrumental fan on the whole.
