Hey, don't listen to this guy, I like Jeff Berlin's voice, it has
a nice texture that, I think, adds to the songs he sings on
(esp. 'Plans for Judgement Day' and 'Gothic 17' and 'Age of Communication'
and ...  well you get the idea).  I heartily recommend the album, it
has a very unique feel that's somehow not bizarre-sounding (of course that's
coming from a guy with a strong background in 'art' rock (e.g. Yes, Genesis,
etc).

O.k., o.k., lot's of vague subjective words: I don't know how to describe
it, I just like it!
