metalstorm.net = 8/10 Points:
Unfortunately, there is something that prevents me from giving Universal a higher mark. As controversial as it may sound to many Borknagar fans, I think that Vintersorg should stick to harsh vocals exclusively. His clean singing is, occasionally, adequate at best, but downright annoying most of the time. His voice is poor and flat, and he doesn't have too many ideas about how to use this limited resource effectively. I'm not suggesting that I.C.S. Vortex is infinitely better, but "My Domain", the only track on Universal where he sings, is vocally the best composition on the album. Change the singer, and the sky will be the limit guys. Before that happens, have an 8 from me.
