GeddysMullet Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 I foolishly tried listening to Good News First last night. Not only is the lyric atrocious but so is Geddys yodeling."..it couldve been wooOORRSSSe..." Gag.I love the show where they solve all the murders! ;) Wait...wrong song. Still love the show, though. That song eats a big one too. lol Hard to believe an old school hardcore fan like Nick R sat there during those sessions enthusiastically nodding his head and giving thumbs up while they recorded those garbage songs "Yes! Yes! Perfect! Sounds awesome! That's a great take!"I wouldve been in the control room with my face in my hands wondering what happened to these guys, they wrote the 2112 Overture for God's sake.... :o Luckily, not everybody feels as you do.
Digital Dad Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Dog Years So funny.....I love those lyrics. A fun song. he has written far worse. Virtuality.....blech. So much this. Lyrically the entire album is uneven. The music is great tho so i give it a pass.

Eel Yddeg Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 - Most of the debut, glad Neil started writing the lyrics. "Well, you make me crazy, the way you roll them eyes" is the bottom of the barrel. - "Anthem" is basically "Ayn Rand" the musical. Lowlight: "Well I know they always told you selfishness was wrong, and yet it was for me, not you that I came to write this song". - The first verse of "I Think I'm Going Bald"- "2112" has some groaners. "The Elder race of man" anyone?- "Natural Science" sounds too much like attempts at being cool as possible with no coherency. "A quantum leap forward, in time and space, the universe learned to expand" sounds like teenage sci-fi. Part III has GREAT lyrics though- "Vital Signs" also has pretty much no coherency. Though I like all of those songs, sans Vital Signs.
vaportrailer Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 - "2112" has some groaners. "The Elder race of man" anyone? This is actually a clever Mormon reference. Neil was flirting with Mormontology at this juncture of their career.Little know fact: Neil's handlebar mustache was an arcane Freemasonry symbol. Better than Zildjian.-Elder Berry
Rod in Toronto Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 How about "the brotherhood of men"? 1
Wayne Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 We Hold On Dunno why the lyrics here particularly irritate. I guess Slammin' Front Doors, Chaffing Against Repetition and Measuring Coffee Breaks is veering dangerously into Coldplay territory.
JohnnyBlaze Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 We Hold On Dunno why the lyrics here particularly irritate.Those lyrics don't irritate me but I don't like them. Feels like they're entering blubbery self-help daily reassurance territory. 1

vaportrailer Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 How about "the brotherhood of men"? It's kinda the opposite of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
