I honestly don't think he is a particularly great singer, but within the context of A Silver Mt. Zion, it's pretty trivial and personally irrelevant. There is an honesty and sincerity about his singing that transcends the technicality of it, and most importantly it somehow manages to affect me in an incredibly meaningful and personal way, which is something pretty damn difficult to do these days.
@gatersy He can't sing? Wow, then I must be wrong cause I love how he sings. I agree with you, people just think that everything must sound the same, look the same... and the list goes on. This is beautiful though, if this is "bad" singing then I adore bad singing.
When you think about it, it's really a collection of movements in one track. Hence they're clapping that part. I don't think it's lack of knowledge on their part.
anyone notice that their drummer plays with only one arm (his left) and hold a lighter in the other? and i tihnk hes the really great back up voice too, the really good one.
I don't know if it's a lighter, but it makes a really big noise. It do the same as a charleston in drums, but without a drumstick...He just hold something and press it in the hand...
I can't tell you if it's useful, but at least it's different...
the end is so powerful, love these guys

Hmm I hate that people do not give the vocals a chance. Fuck if he can sing, that's evidently not the point. He sounds amazing.

Actually, the album took some time to grow for me, but now that I'm feeling its depth, I'm just stunned by it.
