I heavily doubt that. After almost literally every positive comment (or at least 8 out of 10 times), Jer gives a negative one, and/or a not very good or bad grade. It feels as if every positive thing needs to be downplayed immediately. It is is hardly just positive. This is judged with a downright negative view on Blaze's abilities. What recognition? I am reading negative reviews.@Jer, I'm glad Tenth Dimension is given the recognition it deserves
Just giving my honest opinion. Blaze has problems with maintaining his tone and hitting notes successfully. When he's able to maintain control he can sound great, but he has chronic problems with this. I don't see the point in trying to ignore that.It feels as if every positive thing needs to be downplayed immediately. It is is hardly just positive.

Thanks.That said, I am glad Jer took the time and effort to listen to and write about this material.

Well, Blaze always has a little bit of that frog-in-throat quality to his singing. I guess in "Life And Death" it's at least consistently applied and sounds natural and emotive for him, rather than coming and going and just sounding like bad technique.I can't believe that you, the Blaze vocal disliker, actually likes "Life and Death", which has one of Blaze's actually bad moments in it. ("Is it LIIIYIIFFFF and death to you?")
Good choice.Samurai - 10/10
Also: I agree with this. Normally I love the weird ways in which Blaze sings the lines. As someone who has always striven to have a good understanding of the English language and typically does well in that area, the way that Blaze usually sings the lines, so completely different than anyone else does - I actually love it; I don't know how many times he's made me look at simple words in a whole new light, and helped me appreciate them better.terrible phrasing ("a CATCH twen-TY-two SYS-tem")
Most emphatically yes! I still have four albums left to go myself, and I'm definitely keeping a wide open window because I know you and @Number 6 wanted to go through the entire discography as well. You've got as much time as you need to complete this. Just let me know if and when you need extra.Will this be staying open for a bit? I've been busy with stuff and still haven't even started the first album yet.
