Really? I don't know about that. I think his range is huge. His dry lung vocals basically consist of the same highs and lows, but I've heard him do all kinds of vocals. His chops were demonstrated very well on their cover CD: they did a kick ass take on "Bicycle Race" by Queen, but he couldn't quite pull off the high vocals on "The Day I Tried to Live", but Cornell can't even do that anymore. But this guy has wicked strong metal vox, excellent clean vox, and he even gets into some cheesy sounding power metal-style vox. There's even a part in "Backwards Marathon" where he hits a scream that sounds like Cedric Bixler from The Mars Volta.
I find him as a very inspiring vocalist, especially for being a fairly young dude.
