the thing about enablers is that the constant, steady vocal stream acts as somewhat of a limiter on the musical dynamics, preventing the whole thing from moving away in any specific direction, and kind of keeping it spinning in place, to play itself out. i'm fully cognizant that the people that enjoy this interact with it in this kind of linear, storytelling manner, where information is digested and processed in order and all that variations in amplification can do is increase the error rate. this is in contrast with a piece of music that you move and feel with solely on the directions of the actual notes, and experience variations in amplification solely due to the enjoyment of experiencing it.

they're kind of stuck, too, because if they were to pull back on the vocals to open up more space for dynamics in the music, they'd really lose what they are.
