Okay,
Listening to Angra now... and I've figured out something else about what I "like" in metal. I don't like this type of vocal. I know it's the traditional way of singing metal and shows amazing vocal range... but it's just not for me. I still like the music a lot, and I can tolerate the vocals... but I prefer the vocals of Agalloch.
Though Angra did just use a really cool harmonized choir vocal on "The Voice Commanding You" that I liked. I just don't like the way the verses and choruses are sung, overall. It reminds me of watching headbanger's ball in high school.
