I liked their old vocalist better, and End of Heartache was a ****ty record. But, Daylight Dies shows Howard's coming into his own a little better

I guess I haven't heard the old singer but I think Howard does a great job....IMO he sounds similar to Ronnie James Dio

You should check it out. There's a lot more of an edge on the records with their first vocalist. Their big debut with him was Alive or Just Breathing.

I think Howard does have a good voice, and a few of the songs on End of Heartache were good, but the rest sounded like filler tripe. I liked Daylight Dies much better, and the new singles I have been hearing off the upcoming one sound really good.

Okay I've heard some of the singles from the first album but didn't know before. The singer from that album I guess I understand why someone would say he's better because of said edge and I guess it has more of a metal feel but it doesn't do it for me. I guess I'm not metal enough to appreciate as much gutteral screaming.

I admit that his voice isn't for everyone. His clean vocals are also really good, I won't say better than Howard Jones', because that would be ignorant of me.
