User blog comment:RenQuenDren/My Most to Least Favourite VOCALOIDs/@comment-53539-20151228193502

I find the Zola concept as a whole interesting but aspects of it divide me. Therefore rather then judging the vocals as separate entries, I take to judging it as a whole. To me, individually I find the 3 vocals fairly "weak" overall and they tend to only work best when all 3 of them are there to off each others vocals or act as a background vocalist, rather then a main singer. This separates them from the Kagamines or Anon & Kanon, who are able to act as both supports of each other or as soloists and backups to other vocalists. The problem I find with using the Zola boys on their own amounts to the issue that there is always a better male vocaloid that seems to do whatever solo song better.

I can never really draw to a satisfactory conclusion on how to feel on them for this reason. They achieve the thing they set out to do to the point of their locked into placed, I feel more then any other vocaloid package out there. Its like their VY1v4's 3 additional vocals, but with neither a overall "main" vocal to cover all 3 vocalists ranges, nor XSY capabilities.

I think all 3 have nice vocals, its just their limitations annoy me. Their like Beedrill from Pokemon, cool design, but Butterfree ends up being the better pokemon. I really hope if they get updated, that they expand their vocal ranges or give them each XSY abilities... I would have to place all 3 in "honourable mentions" position of the "least favourites" until Yamaha sorts them out. :-/
