I have less trouble understanding Blood Brothers (and Dying Fetus and Scissorfight, for that matter) than I do Bob Dylan.

Why listen to Finntroll or tune into Radio Darvish when I don't even speak the langauges that the songs are being sung in?


To me, music is music and screaming/growled vocals are just another dynamic and asthetic tool in a band's pallet. It can be done poorly and it can be done badly. However, I'm not about to write off a band for doing it until I've heard them do their thing because, frankly, if I did do that sort of thing, I would have never exposed myself to a lot of outstanding music.
