well i enjoy many bands who make good music but write shitty lyrics. But my real favourites bands have good lyrics.

do we argue about good and bad lyrics?
I thought it was about why people pretend to relate to lyrics that they dont really understand.

This is like the unseen paper for english lit exam. You get the poem, read it for the first time and then have to write a couple of A4's about the meaning, why the use of certain imagery etc. I always hated that!
But you get raw emotion with music.
i suppose it's completely subjective. We all have to understand the world we are in and relate aspects of life back to ourselves.
Plus the kudos factor too, the idea of , "yeah i can totally relate" or "yeah i hear you", when they don't because they may feel stupid when everyone else knows, or pretends to know the meaning...

Good music with bad lyrics. Was forced to vote that since I can't stop listening to Blazing Eternity these days.
Extracts from the horror cabinet: "going to the lake of freedom but the water is to* cold to swim", "temptation can burn but will I drown**", "I'm still the one I used to be***".
And they're Danish, oh the shame of it.
The music is quite beautiful though.
*: It really sais "to" in the booklet.
**:?!?.
***:?!?!?!?!?!?!.

I can tolerate bad lyrics if they're easy to ignore (like some really heavy song with screaming), 'cause quite often I really don't listen to the lyrics that much, or make too much out of them since I'm not a native english speaker. But if it's like some singer-songwriter stuff where you can't help but hear all the lyrics perfectly, and they're dead cheesy, it can ruin the whole song...
I enjoy for example Opeth and Meshuggah and most of the time I don't know what they're singing about so 'weeping eternal tears of pain under the silver moon' -lyrics don't piss me off, even if they might be there.

hmm, still haven't listened to them. I guess i once heard them when i was young, but i can't remember really. So any recommendations, or aren't they worth it. What kind of music are they playin? I did hear the name in relation to Metallicas new one, so what'are yer thoughts?

Just listen to Destroy Erase Improve (or Chaosphere). D/L some tracks or what ever and be amazed by the masters of so-called math-metal (I prefer chaosmetal, term, tho. Even if I couldn't give a rats ass what they're called)
