The common distaste for the Volta is usually an issue with the vocals, which in later albums got more effect oriented and higher and higher and higher. Some people come to find them annoying after a while. Deloused... definitely is the album with the least amount of effects on the vocals, and the music and vocals combination is very powerful, but the same can be said for their entire repertoire, I think.

I'm really loving Octahedron at the moment, Vocally it's Cedrics best effort yet.
