I thought it was sad they got rid of her... I liked their older stuff, haven't heard the new album though. |

personally, I think his voice is the soul of sneaker pimps. Splinter in my opinion is the best album of the 3, he sings with so much emotion, unlike the girl (forgot her name), which makes sence because if i'm not mistaken she didn't even write the lyrics on Becoming X, she was just called to do the job. Splinter is amazing |

Becoming X sucks Splinter is good Bloodsport is THE BEST The male singer is so much better than the female singer and Sneaker Pimps keep getting better and better and better. One of my favorite albums right now is Bloodsport. Some good tracks/b-sides are: "Loretta Young Silks" "Kiro TV" "Blue Movie" "After Every Party I Die" |

time to go topic-digging.. so i bought splinter, and was like, 'this is shit' for a few months. then dug it up again, got to 'hey this has exiting moments' and now i am in 'it's a BRILLIANT album'. so i do not regret :) it really has raw emotion. plus the male singer is supercute :)(: *giggle* i like it more than becoming x nowadays. especially 'strike me down' gets me nearly in tears! |

I don't know about all this. why the new singer? I never even heard they made the switch. I liked that girls voice. Hmmm. |

from sneakerpimps.com: The vocals on Becoming X were sung by Kelli Dayton. She toured with us for two years promoting Becoming X but for the Splinter album we decided to switch to a male vocal. There were a few reasons for this major change in approach. One was the proliferation of female fronted tr*p-h*p bands with whom we were anxious to avoid comparison. When something is done too often it loses its effect, and there was a glut of bands breaking who had two production guys and a girl singing. It was a formula we wanted to break. On a more basic level we preferred the sound of Chis' vocal with those songs. The songs were much more autobiographical than those on Becoming X and it seemed less honest to get Kelli to sing someone else's thoughts. |

The singer [Chris Corner] is not NEW... he was always in the band even before they got Kelli Dayton to sing. From the website: Chris and Liam met as teenagers in the eighties, drawn together by their love for recording and bedroom studio experimentation. With an old school friend, Ian Pickering, helping with lyrics they wrote the debut album "BECOMING X". They drafted in college friends Joe, a polymath chancer, David, a reconstructed jazz drummer, and vocalist Kelli Dayton who was discovered singing in a pub in her native Birmingham.-----> Over the course of a year the band put together "SPLINTER", an album that saw the four boys working together, sharing the tasks of programming and production with the door to the outside world firmly shut. It was music as therapy. Chris would sing the demos and then the exhaustive process of collage and deconstruction would begin. It soon became clear that Chris’ voice was the right voice for Sneaker Pimps and to the consternation of record companies and the music press, Kelli was asked to leave. There are also live shows where Chris Corner sings vocals to songs off Becoming X and they are so much fucking better when he sings it. Don't get me wrong, Kelli had an amazing voice, but I think she needed to sing her own stuff. |

now that i listen to x i imagine it being sung by chris all the time. it is just not right anymore with this chick, even though her voice is very good. but i usually loathe male voc. so maybe it was good she was involved so i found the band in first place.. |
