Yeah I see what you are saying Marcus. The thing is, when I listen to The Dream Engine for example, I hear singers with great voices (technically better then Meat) but they just lack that who other dimension. I love Meat but I do have to wonder about some of his career choices. I think he is a good actor but I have seen him in some films and shows that just plain suck. The kind of stuff you expect a no name actor to do just for the paycheck. Then he does something like Fight Club that kicks ass. Its like he has trouble picking good projects..... > I agree with some things you said. But I donīt agree that > Steinsongs become boring when NOT sung by Meat.
