Query: Painful

Kevin Croanin's vocals are screechy, shrill, and downright painful on the ears. They alone would be enough to sink this CD into the lowest possible rating. But wait. These vocals sing songs with lyrics that are trite and clinched, and arrangements that don't have a speck of originality. All this adds up to one of the most baffling success stories in music history.
