I swear man, I'm trying
I've listened to this new album like 5 times now really hoping I catch on to whatever it is I'm missing.
His lyrics... sound like a 16 year old's journal entry most of the time. Its like he just doesn't want to use colorful language or something... so he just babbles instead about various frienRAB and people (a trait [talking about specific people, etc] that really bugged me about banRAB like, say, Belle and Sebastian... despite their great melodies).
Again, just my opinion... I know I'm in the minority here.
