For starters, we're both biased: You love LP and I like actual metal. He can scream fine and loud and angry...that doesn't mean good though. To me a good screamer should either make you feel epic power or outright frighten you. I mostly feel nothing (except maybe laughter) when I hear Chester scream, as I do Corey Taylor or Dave Draiman. When King Diamond and Rob Halford scream, I can feel the epic power. When Mike Patton screams, I feel completely terrified. I've left out many more superior screamers, but I'd say Chester would rank as average or below average compared to many others.
