Slate VMS

So, the guitar player in one of the bands I work in (yes I currently work for 2 different bands - a scheduling nightmare and story for another day) is a big Sleep Token fan. I've listened to some of Sleep Token's stuff and it's not my cup of tea, but one of the things I really don't like is the vocal sound.
I did a little homework and their recording engineer is a guy named George Lever.
From an interview:
"George Lever is a U.K. producer working out of Wells, Somerset and Middlefarm Studios. Currently nominated for Best Producer, for the Heavy Music Awards; George has produced and engineered records for bands such as Loathe, Sleep Token, Holding Absence, and many more."
In the interview he says he tracks all his vocals using the Slate VMS system. Anyone here using the Slate VMS? Sounds like crap as far as I can tell. What are your thoughts?
George, if you are on this board, please don't take offense. I'm criticizing the gear, not you.
Your friendly neighborhood Phil
