I've always found bass heavy post-punk works better with deeper voices and the juxtaposition between the melody and vocals is so jarring that I just can't get into the music.
That's exactly the impression I got from the handful of songs I listened to from the album. I'm not using that as a way of saying that it's a bad album, but the similarity is uncanny and for my tastes just doesn't work.
