I mean, he doesn't salvage Family Man, that's for sure and he almost ruins other songs playing around vocally (Down Endless Street), but with other songs, I think his screams and hiccups convey meaning that's not being articulated, as with Time Bomb Town. I get the sense that time is running out and an explosion is imminent, as the title implies, from his manic delivery, more than from the words.

Over the years, you have made me realize what a great tune Family Man could have been. The guitars in Family Man and Slow Dancing hypnotized me into putting up with subpar lyrics. lol
