Because that is a topic everyone has themselves covered this topic in their own mind and he adds nothing on top of that. Their is no insight into the subject which adds to what any normal person could conjure in their own mind. He states the issue exists and that's it.

Woah you're right....and the diversity in those albums is simply astounding...and blah EC beat me to that one...every single subject is basic when you think about it...I mean most songs aren't about dark matter or the theory of relativity...unless I'm missing something most songs are written about basic parts of the human experience...

Well I have 29 albums rated as a 4.5 or more and with 11 being from the nineties and 2000's that a very fair even split between the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and later stuff. If anything it's weighted in favour of modern stuff.This Message Edited On 10.11.08

And the best lyricists throw in insight and depth that the average person could not think of or express in words. Aaron does not do this.

Also, I wasn't aware the criteria for lyrics to be considered "good" were that they had to expound on a subject or add insight into things...
I actually talked to Aaron for a while after a show they played in Birmingham so I might be a little biased when I say this but...Aaron Weiss is far from "the average person" and has a lot more insight into things than many people I've come in contact with...This Message Edited On 10.11.08

If anything I have a lot more rated above 4.5 and up. And they're all mostly post-90s because music sucks.

Because that is a topic everyone has themselves covered this topic in their own mind and he adds nothing on top of that.
By this token and with what you said earlier about this album you shouldn't like half the post 1990 albums you have as 4.5 or higher. Pinkerton, for example, is a bunch of songs about love sucking (a topic everyone has themselves covered in their own mind), the music is pretty standard, and the vocals can be just as grating as this at times.
I don't have a problem with you disliking this album if you can come up with some valid reason beyond "the lyrics aren't dense enough."

Those are my standards. Feel free to have your own. I am arguing my case here not some universal objective standard.

By saying that...you pretty much say that 99.9% of all the lyrics in existence are meaningless (including many found on albums you apparently like)

Not all albums I like have great lyrics and I never said they did. The Beatles are probably my favourite band and they have terrible lyrics.
The reason this get's a 2.5 from me is because instrumentally it's nothing special, vocally i find him annoying and obviously the spoken word thing rules out any chance of great melodies. Also the vocals and music sound disjointed at times.
But really the focus of this band is the lyrics, they are the no.1 priority here and I consider them average and thus I gave this album an average rating.

You should consider the fact that I have been a member here for nearly 4 years and so not all my ratings will reflect exactly what I feel right now.

I updated all my top end ratings quite recently but it's very boring work and I couldn't be bothered to change anything lower than a 3.5.
