his lyrics (like the band's music) are really awesome on the 'classic' albums. i still think the lyrics to as the future repeats today are really really good...he seems to get no credit though.

why is anders such an under rated lyricist?

I think it's because his lyrical style is too abstract for many people. Personally, I really enjoy Anders' lyrics.

Yeah if you call Clayman a classic album sure.. but Lunar strain to Whoracle Anders wasn't the main lyricwriter. On colony he did most of the lyrics (with assistance from Niklas Sundin). So that should probably explain why he doesn't get much credit for the classic albums. But if you count Clayman, R2R and Soundtrack to your escape as classic IF albums.. then sure.. 
colony is my favorite album, musically and lyrically, and the band's all around best effort, so from that to clayman then, lol ...two good albums with good lyrics!

Because they are mostly metaphors and unless its plain cut and dry in your face most people dont get the meanings because its to much thinking invloved.

I love the lyrics of Anders... but they are too abstract for a lot of people... you really have to dig to find meaning in many songs and most people do not wish to do that

Anders lyrics as well as vocals after Colony blow. They were acceptable as long as Sundin helped him with his non-existant English skills.

I dunno, I thought Colony was prety classy.

I've heard it all. Colony had some awesome songs, but I can't remember the last time I sat through the whole album. I'll get past Coerced Coexistance and then get bored and put something else on *shrug*
im from NH too.....cool.
anyways
colony is easily their best effort. best production, best guitar tone, best vocals, best songs (zombie inc, their best ever). i agree the very last song, the new world, aside from the instrumental breakdown, is pretty boring (hows that for a sentence). all the others are classics though.

The deluxe edition of Colony is even better.
Having the instrumental Man Made God at the very end tops the album off in such a perfect way, adding much more of a savory edge that enhances the feel of the material that can be found on the regular edition.

Actually, I find Man Made God to be a cut-and-paste instruemental that does absolutely nothing new, and I'm glad my edition of Colony doesn't have it, because The New Word is a blazing closer.

I can see why people rave about Man Made God, but I can also see why it was left off of the album as well. As a bonus track it's worth having, though.
