Although, from what I recall (and am hearing atm) I prefer NJ still because the vocals weren't as...prominent I guess the word would be. In Norma Jean it always seemed to me like the music dominated over the vocals slightly, whereas The Chariot had more of an influence on the vocals. Which, when I didn't like chaotic stuff, was terrible in my ears' opinion. Now idk.
Hm. That would be interesting to see what you think now. I think Norma Jean has really gone downhill over the last few years, though. The Chariot, however, has remained pretty consistent, but I dig the chaos (I think they're more of a punk rock band at heart). I enjoy the fact that Scogin's vocals dominate because I think they're fantastic for heavy music. He has this grainy quality that sounds like it's been tampered with via computer, but it's all him.
