So is it mainly her voice that gets to you? Considering it is the most prominent aspect of the music, I can understand not liking it if she bothers you. Even when it is subtle and the synths behind her are taking over, her voice still plays such a role that it is essential to the music (otherwise it would just be warbling synth crap).

Personally, I love her voice and if it wasn't for how unique and creative she is with it, the whole album would blow.
