Query: vocally - too distracting, BUT musically - very satisfying

I very much agree with previous reviewer, Hal Johnson. This could have been a great Hip disc, but the vocals -- go way beyond the once beautifully idiosyncratic typical Hip stuff -- to be distractingly out of tune with a lack of the usual presence and depth... moreover, the production is messy and spotty (vs. In Violet Light).YET (and infuriatingly so), the songs are mostly wonderful, hence my 4-star rating... upon repeated listenings these shine through, and the faults are (mostly) overlooked... sort of like love in a long-term relationship...lol.Long live the Hip!
