I'm amazed at all the hate this has garnered. I probably shouldn't be since he's a niche artist, but his music is amazing. And it at least has some heart and meaning behind it.
...his voice isn't bad at all. i guess everyone's just possessed with the notion that all singer need to sound like pop-punk vocals drowning in auto-tune, or something....
Geez, why are so many people hating on this? I feel like these days there is wayy too much emphasis put on the vocals. Did you rude commenters listen to what they were saying at all? This was an experimental take on one of his songs, it's not meant to sound polished. I think it was a success. He should incorporate strings more often.
This is what real music sounds like, people. Gosh.
"I feel like these days there is wayy too much emphasis put on the vocals."
If it's not put through Pro Tools, Auto-Tuned and over-produced into something that's completely different than what went into the microphone, people have a problem with it.
I think John Vanderslice has a beautiful voice. I don't see anything wrong with it. I think his vocal melodies are nicely done as well. He has a mellow, smokey voice and I can't get enough of it.

Hello from Finland, Scandinavia Magik Orchestra. Your singer is somekind person that I never want see more....If this band want continue and make good music, change singer, please....for me this singer give only bad fealing,....
This isn't a band, the singer's an independent artist collaborating with them, and this is the singer's song. Haha, it'd be kind of hard to replace him..
"Hmm, John, your song's awesome, but can you just not sing it?"

This gay I mean guy looks like a muppet. not to mention the song sucks. What the lady said in the beginning is so retarded Metalica and other metal and rap and country and rock artist and bands played with chamber and orchesta groups. look at this way most modern rock is still based on european forms anyways. Come on San Fran nothing special.
If i had that band as a back up -- I would not fuck around with my own guitar :S - Cmon!
