As opposed to the music not being the star with that other music?

I think it would be fine either way, as there's enough variation in the beat to make it listenable without vocals in this particular case.

I don't necessarily have a problem with it if the song is really good, but I'm often left wondering:

(a) Were there production limitations?
(b) Did they not have a chance to record more material with the vocalist, thinking that the first recordings would be sufficient? Yet, when they went to put everything together, maybe it would only work a certain way from what they originally intended.
(c) Are they just being lazy by being so bloody repetitive?

It wouldn't, no. I guess it just depends on what someone wants the instrumental to do. For me, if I like the vocals, that's usually enough. If the vocals are weak, I can listen through it if the instrumental has a good hook or is interesting in some other way.

You probably could do without any vocals on this one here...
