I was a fan since their first album. I probably had 8 of their records
I always took issue with the way Jeff recorded the vocals. After seeing them live 3 times, I stuck by my opinion, because the vocals sounded so much better & bigger live.
This song is less egregious, except the vocal is so dry it doesn't fit in the mix like I expect from a guy so skilled.
