To be fair I kind of liked "The Test" as well. so maybe my opinion isn't worth that much.
I guess I'd have to know exactly which songs you're talking about - "NUXX" is one thing, but I don't know how anyone could hate the vocals on "Dirty Epic"; it's one of the few tracks where Karl really gets to air his voice out and the effect is incredible. Also there's a bunch of tracks out there with cut-up vocal fragments - there's a newer tune they did, "Back in the Fears" which is just a bunch of vocal loops and a shimmering guitar - not something the Chems or any other of these groups could do. Obviously it's possible that you just don't like his voice but IMO he's better than any of the guest singers or vocalists that the other electronic groups got, and they've done a lot with the vocals that you probably wouldn't hear on the songs on Everything, Everything
