Relient K

This trend of auto-tuned whisper-whining front-mixed white men must cease. I turn on MTV2 and it's all over. Am I supposed to relate to these guys as a somewhat emotional white man? I can't relate to it in any other way... too bad this way doesn't work either. The mix on these songs spotlights the vocalist, but with nothing impressive/grabbing about the voice, melody, or technique (if anything was impressive about the vocal technique, auto-tune has rendered it unnoticeable by way of helping the 'artist' blatantly cheat his way out of actually needing skill or talent), these songs are boring by way of spotlighting something boring. Not just boring, but irritating, in fact. Nasaly voices that don't scream awesomely? Get on gone with that shit. If you're a nasal fuck, use it for something! Look at the history of rock, and what people have managed to do with their terrible voices! You too can be an excellent vocalist by way of putting your vocal failure to good use.
