Traditional usability will allow you to collect feedback on observable human behavior. Usability is typically not as good a tool for collecting feedback on broader design issues across a project.
"I know I can't use it, but don't ask me how to fix it." Usability will tell you that a specific function or feature is difficult or impossible to use but it will rarely give you the feedback needed to correct the issue. The type of "feedback squad" that I think you're looking for is often referred to as a "heuristic evaluation." This is a technique that can allow multiple people to evaluate a larger product and isolate the interface and design problems across a much broader set of features.
