I think his voice adds a different dynamic to the Manics music, a lovely freshness, especially when he sings with James - Intravenous Agnostic is one of my favourite tracks because of his voice..... Sparkle and believe

When I first heard Nicky's singing voice it made me cringe, but later I found it to be very emotional and powerful. I especially like William's Last Words, his performance shines on that.

I do like his voice, but IKTZ is a difficult album to listen to as when I hear about 5 or 6 songs of his in a row it starts to grate on me a bit. Dying Breeds is probably my fave song of his though, a brilliant vocal.

Think Lady Lazarus is Nicky's best vocal. So I'm not a complete hater!

I'd say more like a dying moose...

Jk, in moderation, his voice is ok, and I think he's learning what suits it and what doesn't. WLW is an example of something that does suit it, and I couldn't actually imagine anyone else singing that.
