This is easily my favorite SOAD song. In fact, its actually pretty good outside of the vocals. However, its good enough I can put the vocals aside and just enjoy for what its worth. SOAD really shouldn't have been a metal band imo.

I think I pretty much agree with your assessment of both these songs. With a different singer they could've been great.

SOAD incorporated many interesting structures and time signatures into their music that was lost under a lot of generic riffs. if they had gone the more experimental root and not used a commercially successful armour (if you will) over their ideas then SOAD could really have been something.

That's a good point. I think part of the trouble I have with them is that they get hyped as being so unique and experimental and weird, and then I listen to them and... they aren't. They have some interesting elements going on from time to time but I think they'd be a far better band if they pushed more in the weird direction.
