"First off, I'd stumbled upon this review when searching for the entire "Frameshift 1 - Unweaving the rainbow" tracklist. And I'm completely dumbfounded by some of the unbelievably ridiculous negative reviews posted by a few reviewers on this one. I saw this review by "PorterW" and with all due respect, I can confidently tell you that your review was perhaps driven either by pure ignorance or utmost hatred/jealousy of an extremely talented & humble singer as James Labrie is. I even got registered to Amazon.com just to respond to the mega-pseudo observations of "PorterW". Please try listening to some really "tough guys with bad attitude" singing,(or, am I permitted to describe it as pointless growling?) for Slayer, Pantera, Sepultura and a plethora of metal/death/black metal bands, if that's how you define "sublime good vocals" or "excellent singing"! Or try listening to Eminem, Pink, Kanye West, P. Diddy, Kid Rock and other "pseudo-superstars" of mainstream pop music!! Try singing a single verse of any of Dream Theater or James Labrie's tracks with exactly the same key used in singing the original, and only then even contemplate on criticizing the singer for his supposed "handicaps" or "flaws", as you quite wrongfully made, "PorterW"!
