Bands That Go "Wuurgggh!"
Bastardous Bassist:
Well, it's better than a lot of his singing. Sometimes the singing sounds passable, but most of the time, it's really poor. In fact, it's probably about on the level of the singing in "indie" music. It sounds similarly unsupported and tonally deficient, while staying somewhere in the vacinity of the intended pitch.
Cartilage Head:
I for one believe that Mikael Akerfelt has a HELL of a rough and clean voice! But that is just me. Is it necessary to actually quote the ENTIRE post that somebody JUST posted? Come on,fellows. Let us be civilized.
Bastardous Bassist:
Sometimes it sounds amazing. On Blackwater Park I'd actually place the sounding great at more than not, so I take back the statement that said he sounded bad most of the time. There are times where his clean vocals just sound horrible. Also, I remember somebody sending me something from their softer (maybe all acoustic?) album with him doing only clean vocals (back when I couldn't stand the rough vocals), and I remember it sounding really poor. I might still have it on my computer.
Edit: I don't.
Soidanae:
I actually like his clean vocie (ghost reveries and blackwater) far better than his roar. I might actually listen to the albums more if it was all clean.
Bastardous Bassist:
Just listen to the beginning of "Dirge for November." That's what I'm talking about when it sounds bad. Sure, he's singing softly, but any singers can probably back me up that it's still important to support your voice so that it doesn't sound like ass. Hell, it's more important to focus on it when you're singing soft, because when singing loud, it support just comes easier.
