That wasn't my album. I meant one of my own.

I find the vocalist annoying. Theirs a Bono like personality I'm getting from him that just makes me want to punch him in the face. The music doesn't seem to offer anything interesting.

Initially I was leaning towards a two and a half stars, but he more I listen to it the more I loathe the album. The music grates on my nerves more and the singer becomes more annoying.

I will say that "A Long & Sleepless Night" had some pretty good moments. I can live without this album in my life.

☆1/2

Not hearing the Bono comparison at all.

Allright, I think I'm going with the Dir En Grey album Withering to Death. It's one of my all time favorite albums and I expect it to go over about as well as the bubonic plague. Seems like a perfect choice!

It all begins to make sense now, huh?

Nor me. Hannon's vocal style and delivery couldn't be further from that of Bono. You might as well say Shane MacGowan sounds like Bono. Think it's just an "Oh he's Irish and I hate him therefore Bono" line of reasoning.

I'll change it in the OP when I can be bothered.

He's exactly like Bono in that his singing is about a million times less inventive and interesting than he thinks. Maybe it's an Irish thing.

This is basically what I'm talking about.

I was comparing their personalities that I got from the music. Not their vocal delivery or voices.
