Hello
I picked up Come Clarity a while ago and liked it, but I don't normally listen to straight metal so the style is quite new to me. Vocally come Clarity is not too bad because I can recognize about 50% of the lyrics but I got "Colony" and "Soundtrack to Your Escape" last week and I seriously have trouble making out more than 5% of the lyrics.
The lyrics to some of the songs that I found online exhibit a very high level of creative talent and writing, but I don't get if they are better than most of the mainstream stuff out there why do they hide what they're actually singing and make people hold the lyrics in front of them to actually listen to a song.
Is this just how metal is mean't to be? Any reason for doing this that someone who is not new to the genre can explain to me?
