Hey David, deep breath, dude, and ease up on the bolded large font.
Rest of you, please let's not let this deteriorate into a debate about whether or not growling has a place in a given genre, or whether or not a genre NEEDS it to sound complete, or anything like that. It's music. Nice thing about music is, there's so much of it. Now, everyone take a deep breath, kiss, and make up.
Like I said, the first song sounds like a bad modern Metallica caricature, but some of the other stuff ("In Too Deep" and "Slightly out of Reach" most notably) is excellent.
