Chester's still singing in his range, it's just that he's using a vocal style that's better suited for STP. It's not like when Gary Cherone fronted Van Halen and was screaming his lungs out, trying to sound like Sammy Hagar.

He doesn't need to mimic Weiland though. For a first release, fine. But I can expect that getting very old, very fast if he continues doing that. He's not Weiland. If they want to to continue with Chester, fine. There's potential there. But, they can't keep going on if all they're going to do is keep writing with a Weiland impersonator. It's one thing to play the hits with him, it's another to write completely new material while mimicking the old guy, who they fired. If they want him to sound like Weiland, then perhaps they shouldn't have canned him.Originally Posted by RhettButler

The first two singles and "Cry Cry" are the most Weiland-esque, IMO. With the other two, Chester sounds more like that way he does with LP.
He's still trying to find his voice with STP--and I like what they've done so far. I really dig this EP and hope that we see an album or at least another EP down the line.
