I'm absolutely in love this band, Autocratopolis is one of the best cds I've heard in a long time. I just wanted to see if anyone else here listened to them, if not I would certainly suggest checking it out.

You have the Mars Volta in your sig...they are the epitome of annoying vocals. How on earth can you handle that but not this :lol:

The vocals are weird but I've listened to weirder, and worse. I like it. He has more character than a lot of other vocalists around.

Cedric bixler is awesome... and I didn't really mean in an annoying way, I meant in a sort of un-tight way productionwise... they didn't really fit into the music super great.

Pretty solid stuff, but I agree with noodles about the vocals. Could be better.

Sorry I missed this earlier, RC. I'm going to agree with you on this one, shocker. I do think the vocals are awkward in places, but I have heard far, far worse. Anyhow I could get into his voice in time quite easily. He struck me as a more ambitious, animated Lars Eric Si in Winds, which is not a bad thing at all. Regardless, the music is quite good. Thanks for sharing.

Pretty cool. The keyboard reminded of Cradle of Filth. :? The vocals aren't great, but the guy kind of reminds me of Warrell Dane.

It Begins to Rain is hella cool!

This is some good stuff. I hear some Warrel Dane in the vocals too.

Totally. He's strange, but I grew into pretty quickly. I love his weirdness, and like you said, how animated he is. It makes it much more interesting and enjoyable to me than a guy with a totally deadpan delivery who avoids doing too much to hide his vocal shortcomings.

I'm glad a few of you checked this out and enjoyed it finally :lol:
