| Lyrical Genius
Ok maybe not actually genius, but here are a few albums that I've been really digging the lyrics to lately. | | 1 |  | mewithoutYou
Brother, Sister
Aaron Weiss has always been a favorite of mine. While all of their albums are lyrically great, this is just the one I've been listening to the most as of late. In A Sweater Poorly Knit is astounding. | | 2 |  | Say Anything
...Is A Real Boy
Max Bemis can take the simplest of things and turn it into an elaborate metaphor, and still not come off as pretentious. Plus, he makea me laugh. | | 3 |  | Brand New
The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me
Jesse Lacy writes some of the most depressing songs I've ever heard, and I mean that in the best way possible. Jesus Christ is lovely. | | 4 |  | Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova
Once: Music From The Motion Picture
Even though the lyrical approach is pretty straightforward, something about it just gets me every time. Falling Slowly and Say It To Me Now are pretty great. There's no attempt at lofty metaphors and hilarious wordplay here, just honest and heartfelt songwriting. | | 5 | | Bright Eyes
I'm Wade Awake Its Morning/Digital Ash In A Digital Urn
These should really have just been released as a double album instead of separately IMO. What can I say, Conor Oberst can go from depressed, to cynical, and cuttingly sarcastic in the blink of an eye. | |
Polaris
08.20.08 | I've only heard 2 and 3 but I totally agree
especially on 2 | natey
08.20.08 | great list | VicariousIntent
08.20.08 | Hell yes to Bright Eyes and Say Anything. I think Fevers And Mirrors might be Conor's best lyrically though, not sure.
I've been meaning to get around to listening to 3, but I dunno. Should I bother?
Great list btw. | marksellsuswallets
08.20.08 | If you enjoy Bright Eyes and Say Anything, I say most definitely check out Brand New. | Thor
08.20.08 | The Red Chord | Cuban Pete
08.20.08 | only heard first 3 and agreed on those | Golgoroth
08.20.08 | Win for 3.
If you like mewithoutYou, check out As Cities Burn. Another band with lyrical genius. | foreverendeared
08.20.08 | i adore all of these. props for the list |
