I kinda agree that Dan Swano style cleans would fit this band's style a bit more, but they make higher pitched singing work in black metal. How many bands can say that?

Love after first listen. I see no problems with the cleans. They fit and compliment the music perfectly. I also enjoyed the violins a lot more on Citadel than PoI. Just like what someone else said, I just wish the album was longer because I loved it.

They definitely need to keep the cleans. They're unique, and full of emotion. I can't think of anything I would change about this band, if it wasn't making them release more music lol

If they stop them they'll immediately become another mediocre band from your library, heh

Hot damn, Citadel met my expectations and then blew them out the window. Awesome album.

Alrighty, so they're an absolutely fucking AWESOME live band. I may not care for their music a great deal, but they put on a fantastic show.

Only downside on Citadel is it's too short. Hopefully that one time they mentioned releasing two albums back to back was not a joke, and that's why it's a bit short. Fingers crossed!

I'm seeing these guys play tonight. Not too big on their material, honestly (not really into the prog and avante-garde stuff), but it does seem like stuff that'd be much better when played live.

The clean vox is just a fly in the ointment. That unearthly music and then he starts to sing. (facepalm) The album is still a masterpiece though. [2] couldn't have put it better myself. Just like to add that i have no problems with the vocals on Portal of I at all, that one was perfect in any way. ^^ It's like, here he gayed it up just a bit too much for my taste -.-

I am usually the first to bring the subjectivity of music to the fore of a discussion, and I am in full agreement that people can dislike certain aspects of any band and that's just fine. But I am also an advocate for intelligent critique and regarding musicians the respect I think they all deserve. I cannot personally stand the vast majority of harsher Metal due to the vocals, yet I very much respect the artists behind the craft, and would never think to label them "a fucking joke". That's just childish.

V If someone thinks the band, let alone the vocals (which was what the comment was referring to) are a fucking joke, well that's like, their subjective opinion man. You don't seem to get it do you? What assholes they are for not liking the vocals, ugh they need better ears!1

My vocals comment was in direct response to someone labelling them "a fucking joke", and yet I'm being bashed about the subjective nature of music? That's just silly, guys.

Idk I think the clean vocals on Citadel are excellent. The "Angles fall" part on Track 2 and whatever he's saying on Blackholes half way/at the end sound great. The only thing I dislike about the album is the end. I feel like it should have had another long track to close it out. It felt too short.

I'm a bit disappointed with the cleans too. Not that I find them bad, but I, really, really loved them on POI despite some technique problems here and there... and here on Citadel, they may be formally better, but kind of lost some of the emotion. That beimng said, I love Citadel, and still love the clean vocals. Just not as much as on POI.

I would say I don't have any problem with the clean vocals, but I did find the harsh vocals a bit meh.

"Are people seriously complaining about the vocals? What a bunch of fuckin assholes, I'd hate to have your ears." Oh no people have a different opinion than yours!

I do agree that both the harsh and clean vocals were a bit better on Portal of I, but they're still fantastic on Citadel. If I was going to nitpick, I'd say the album was maybe a little too short. But I'm freaking loving it.
