Yeah love the instrumental on that song but a song about click bait is a bit crappy lyrically and ruins the beauty of the song to me.

Album Rating: 2.5

True. And I love the message on What Was She Wearing. I'm kinda sad that they came out with a song titled that before I could (I'd planned to lmao). I love the message in Currency of Beauty too, but the lyrics on both songs just too on the nose to really do much for me as art.

Hearing a guy screaming about comments on a post in gut wrenching fashion like it breaks his soul is a bit cringe.

And i hate that word, so for me to use it must mean it's bad.

Album Rating: 3.0

I also like the message but not necessarily the lyrical content for the same 'on-the-nose' reasoning. And I definitely hear happy melodicism, not necessarily a bad thing in the context of finding optimism within frustration, anger or darkness - that's how I interpret it anyway. Struggling with something but fighting back and discovering hope. I don't know, probably projecting.

@Veks: Nah dude, I completely get it. It's kind of an embarrassing thing to write a whole metal song about.



Edit: @Demon: That's a perfectly valid interpretation of it for sure. I honestly figure that's what the band is going for.

Doesn't sound happy at all to me, maybe hopeful but not happy. And the lyricism is meant to be on the nose, so if it doesn't work for you then it doesn't work. They are pretty adamant about being up front with their intentions. I think it makes their music all the more powerful.

I don't think it's an embarrassing topic though. It deals with using women simply for attention and other similar motifs. Nothing wrong with pointing that out and the occurrence of dishonesty in articles in general.

"Struggling with something but fighting back and discovering hope"



I guess that's cool. Anger without hope sucks and leads to depression. Gotta channel that shit or it destroys you. And don't channel it into hate but into something productive to better yourself instead of just trying to destroy the things that make you angry. If you need to hate for a bit do it, cause it makes you feel alive and gives you a purpose. But don't stay on that road too long or you'll turn into the shit you hate.

Time is just a construct, man

Instead of just saying "etc is bad" they could craft a narrative around the message with the same point. That makes the writing much more compelling, in my experience.

Sometimes just spelling it out is also effective. Very much depends on delivery. Emo bands have toyed with this for years.

"This shit needs to stop

Acknowledge them beyond their looks"



It reads like fluff.

I just think it's honesty, fluff seems a tad dismissive.

At what poins is screaming something like:

"STOP USING MY BOOBS TO GET MORE INSTAGRAM LIKES"

Honesty instead of just crappy lyrics?

Album Rating: 4.0

yeah i'd say that the lyrics are perfectly fine for what they are. not the most poignant, effective stuff but it's not like they're trying to write an essay or make some academic point or w/e, it's just blatant, honest views which works well with the music

"At what poins is screaming something like:



"STOP USING MY BOOBS TO GET MORE INSTAGRAM LIKES"

i mean, yeah, not exactly incredibly well constructed lyricism, but.. it did get you talking about it? so since it's clearly not trying to be of next-level quality, it achieved its goal of getting people talking which i'd say is quite commendable

Album Rating: 2.5

Like I said, the message is lovely. It just doesn't have a lot of the quality that I want from song lyrics.



It's not punk rock or hard enough to pull off just being angry and on the nose like that. And regardless of genre, just the words just read hollow. Furthermore, I don't really get the emo/screamo comparisons here. I mean there's a loose association but I mean LOOSE.

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

It was a comparison based solely on lyricism, which is what I was talking about. And I don't think they're aiming for being "hard" my guy, they're voicing their displeasure with an issue they think deserves attention. There's a lot of emotion put into them and disregarding them for being unambiguous feels unfair. Not hollow at all.

Mars has it. Good things dont always need to read like Shakespearian poetry. It hits the nail on the head and that should be good enough, considering it approaches issues that a lot of other bands don't.
