The vocals are the best thing about it. When his voice trails off and turns into the guitar note is the best bit of the song.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑16 Sep 2020, 8:30pmMy sole serious objection to "More Than a Feeling" is the vocals.

It is all triumphant but I know what you mean.

Yeesh. As Wolter says, it's the kick-ass guitar riffing. That voice is everything I hate about arena rock.Heston wrote: ↑16 Sep 2020, 8:32pmThe vocals are the best thing about it.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I actually think his voice is pretty good by arena rock standards. No shrillness and a pleasing tone. The verses are quite understated.

Sorry, I refuse to believe anyone doesn't think it's anything but an amazing track. One of the greatest guitar solos put to vinyl.

I don't hate his voice, tbh. I just prefer guitars in this case. There are far worse culprits in this area.
