I'm sorry I can't let this slide.

Have you by chance heard the A Day to Remember song where Mike does guests? Now I would prefer it if ADTR was a straight up metal band, but I can't deny their vox has some serious pipes.

And he completely makes Mike sound horrible. I realize Mike is doing highs and Jeremy is doing lows, but whatever. That guy is a beast. Mike is okay.

End rant. Excuse me.

I think Mike is a brute as well, in fact I think he is far more beastly than the guy from ADTR (in my own opinion, the worst of those kind of bands out there). His vocals aren't as neat and tidy, and maybe they don't sound as big, but that doesn't mean they are less brutal. They are rough and rigid, probably not the orthodox way of screaming, he just gives it his all and you can see that when they play (or hear that) and that is what I think makes him one of the top several contenders in terms of brutality.

Of course, I am way less 'experienced' in this genre as you guys, so I'm sure you know what you're talking about a lot more than I do.

Mike only has one decent thing about his scream, and that is the low growling stuff. The high stuff is too damn sloppy, the mid-range stuff has no beef to it, but his lows are okay.

Well I tend to love sloppy vocals and or music, so thats probably why I defend him.
