I just have a real problem with christian bands. I never seem to be able to get inspiration from them, they all sound like they're just cheesily preaching to me about how Jesus is the one true way blah blah blah...
That said, I might like this album since you say in this (admittedly great) review about how even non-christians can take inspiration from it. I'll take a look at it soon.

I'm the same way. This album is completely worth it. There's nothing preachy about the lyrics, the album's just real quality from start to finish.

Extremely overrated.
His lyrics are well articulated but when actually laid bare are of basic substances, the music is terribly bland and the spoken word thing is grating after a while.
Also the mix of the vocals to music is very poorly done and at times sounds like a mash up as opposed to purposefully crafted music.

What would qualify as an exemplary substance?
I've listened to Catch For Us The Foxes all week so I'll probably start spinning this soon.

What would qualify as an exemplary substance?
Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
are top quality albums for lyrics.
The lyrics are not great. For example In A Sweater Poorly Knit. Basically it's about him questioning whether god exists and then deciding he does. How is that deep lyrically? That's something everyone with a brain ever has comtemplated. Sure he dresses it up in a thousand metaphors but what he's actually saying is very basic. Which is what I was criticising to begin with.

And Springsteen's lyrics weren't basic?

Nebraska is not like other Springsteen albums. The Boss doesn't need to dress his songs up in inane and superfluous metaphors because what he writes about has actual depth and meaning (especially on Nebraska). He is master of saying what he wants to say in universal terms.
Great lyrics are not about how many different ways you can say the same thing in one song they are in equal parts about the depth and meaning behind those words.
For exam a poet could describe paint drying in the most beautiful and elogant way but it would still be shoddy poetry because his subject is paint drying. Where as a poet who taps in human emotions with such clarity and insight like the Boss does is the real genuis of the two.This Message Edited On 10.11.08This Message Edited On 10.11.08
