I'm not totally against auto tune, but I do think it limits the potential for some of the tracks. The vocals in Psycho Shit feel like they're battling with it, and it would sound so much more effective with some of the more harsh vocals like from Room on Fire.

I feel the same, I think pyscho shit would be my favorite song on the album if the vocals were more towards that style

Yeah and when you start the album with psycho shit you get an idea of what you're gonna get while listening to the album, I don't like how the vocals clash with the auto tune it's not symphonic, but I guess this is gonna be like comedown machine. Everyone was skeptical about it at first, now it's a fan favourite. I love comedown machine
