  1. It's not really ideal though, is it? ;)

     

    I don't think the lyrics are as bad as people are making out, one bad line in a song doesn't mean all the lyrics in that song are bad. But in some cases where lyrics aren't meant to be taken seriously and are for fun I just don't see the appeal. It wouldn't be bad if fun lyrics were a one off thing, but the last 2 albums seem to have so many songs with "fun" lyrics

  2. but when you hear shit like on the outside I'm the greatest guy

     

    I like this line though :(

     

    Fuck fun. If I want laughs, I'll go listen to enter shikari or something. From Muse, I want goosebumps. and inb4 "omg u asshole u just want them 2 meet ur own Xpectationz omg" I'm seeing that they aren't becoming a "fun" band by choice, it's all there's left in them. It's like that tale with the guy who wanted too many years to live and he just ended up old fooling around like a kid.

     

    Agree, though The Handler gives me proof that they can still write a song with better/good lyrics and still give me goosebumps (specifically the last verse)

     

    I mean stuff like Panic Station, Reapers, Psycho, Revolt (jesuschrist), Survival lyrics etc, where the whole thing "isn't supposed to be taken seriously". a few songs like that would be okay, but there's just way too much of that. And it feels like when someone tells a bad joke and when nobody is laughing they say "ahhh come on guys it was SUPPOSED to be bad, gosh..."

     

    Agreed (even if I like some of these songs.)

  3. The lyrics are a key part of it though. I want to enjoy Drones but I find some of the lyrics to be so jarringly awful that they ruin the song.

     

    The music is a key part of it too though, obviously. Basing near enough a whole album review on lyrics.... :rolleyes:

  4. But... He's right. 8 hour drive at the most along with a fantastic public transport system? As long as money isn't an issue, I don't think there's much of an excuse either.

     

    And if those people are following the thread on the board and the tweets while getting genuinely upset, I doubt it.

     

    Shut the fuck up.
