A serious message should have a serious expression and a more playful, light or sarcastic message should have an equivocal expression. From there you evaluate how well the artist achieved that expression. Simple enough, right?
Cool, if you feel that way enjoy it.
So raping and killing virgins and overthrowing heaven upon a bloodstained goat is a serious message to you? I still don't see why expression and message have to mirror each other in that way. For example, Skyclad are about as playful lyrically as you can find yet at the same time are also very political/socially-aware, and the two do not clash in the slightest.
"oh well that doesn't apply because Walkyier is a talented lyricist, do you see Cronos writing witty and meaningful lyrics on the suffering caused by bull-fighting or socioeconomic strife amongst the English working-class?"
