I can live with this. It's their best closer.

Honestly, I wouldn't want to not see Knights.

He made a boo boo
-
Ooh, like the synth in the chorus.
-
Yeah, I might reserve judgement until we (if ever) hear a decent mix.
-
Yeah, fun track, but it's stayed out its welcome.
-
I actually really liked his tone for Showbiz.
-
No.
-
Muscle Museum next?
-
This is actually kinda funny. Even in France he upsets the American fans. Yaaaah Showbiz
-
What are you drinking?
-
Grr
-
Aight, you're taking this very personally.
-
At least they came to America for an actual tour!
-
A crack at them not knowing these songs, basically. Pretty tame for how mad some people are on Facebook.
-
That tone is sick.
-
This was my first thought.
-
Lots of salty American fans surfacing now.
-
Outro was rad.
-
Better than they were for a lot of the drones tour. Probably because of the break.
-
Yeah, more or less straight away. The vocals are a bit campy.
-
Shoddy mix or not, they're killing it.
-
People sure are inferring a lot in this thread.

I dunno dude, this exists: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zcbOfVKSMkA His best, imo Taking a step away from TC's lyrics specifically, on the whole his lyrics took a nose dive when he decided to make every other song a grand political statement, or condense a complicated issue or topic into a verse/chorus/verse/chorus structure. Matt has always written simple lyrics, but since The Resistance he's dumbed them down so much that it plays like a series of loosely connected catch phrases. There's nothing to read into them, even when they're so confused that they don't make much sense; pure tell, nothing to show. It's a shame, because when he was on form he wrote some really nice lyrics.

Sure. His intent is one thing, but the execution is... Well, a bit shite. As Martian says, the song reads as pretty blatantly anti fascist to me so I'm not too bothered by the line, but even so, it's a pretty boneheaded thing to sing about without adding much depth. Maybe nuance isn't the word. I guess as I was saying earlier, it's the lack of depth that bothers me. He's making blatant references to fascism and the holocaust, but the lyrics are too simple to really add much depth or insight, so it's easy for things to be interpreted differently, which is a problem. I agree for the most part. I think there should be room in pop to discuss weighty themes and politics, but this wasn't handled brilliantly imo, and if he wants to make an artistic statement on rising fascism and misinformation, there are probably better ways to do that.
