| Yes I like it too. I think another factor is that Jim wrote the songs so he can convey the emotion necessary to put in a good performance. Even if he wouldn't perhaps be the most perfect choice for the songs, no one else can express the emotion behind them (of which there is a lot) as well. This offsets a vocal performance that while not technically as good as Meat could probably have done, is more pleasing to hear.
