I'll not lay claim to being the biggest fan of vocals (acapella singing: meh. Whitney Houston/Mariah Carey vocal histronics: meh. Rap: meh [apart from OutKast]) and I've happily listened to bands who's vocal abilities are patchy at best (Sonic Youth and New Order spring to mind), but, Christ on a crutch, this has to be the most flat and tuneless vocal performance ever to hit the charts. It's almost painful to listen in places.

I'm going to go listen to some Glenn Branca... loud.
