He was fantastic on the earlier stuff, but I agree his vocals in recent years lack something.Musically they have always been very very close to being my favourite band but Aarons vocals have always just missed the mark for me so they fall into the "their ok" zone ... I really really really want to like this more but the same issues are their for me.. I thought they got really close to what I have hoped for on "the ghost of orion" so maybe this album will finally get there
