Im personally not a fan, but they can surprise me sometimes. Saw him sing live on TV and I was quite impressed.

Somebody who is a die hard LP fan could probably argue the same argument I have; That the cookie monster is used to to help deliver a theme.

Personally I dont hear that with LP, they do well without screaming, and I think they do it merely to try and appeal to as many people as possible. Just how they used to use a rapper-esque style on some of their songs. The more genres they leech into, the more their fan base grows, the more cash.
