"Round + Round" by Ariel Pink's Haunted Grafitti

My personal opinion of this song was that it lacked a consistency in the vocals from start to finish. In the beginning, the voices are very weak and don't really appeal to me as much as other listener. Then, about midway into the song, the vocalists completely change up their tones and start increasing their volume tremendously in order to compensate for a lack of tempo and pace in the earlier part of the song. It really threw me off as a listener.

One fact from the song I found was that the drum was used as the main beat for the song in complementation with the guitar and keyboard. This didn't make a whole lot of sense for me when the song started out very weak and soft. I thought maybe a acoustic guitar or classic piano would have been a better choice. Also, the high tempo chorus was repeated multiple times as the song wound down, a huge contrast from the softer introduction.
