Yeah, the music is there, but thoughtful lyrics are really lacking on these songs. He's said the word "baby" about 93 times in 5 songs. It's really depressing that an icon like DJM would dish out a half assed message like he has. Seriously how long do you think it took him to write these lyrics? Half of them he's already almost verbatim sang in previous songs.
I mean "the one who waits the listener my words to land upon" is such poetic phasing even though he's not really saying anything. At least it's evident that he's spent time thinking about his work. Not to mention all the incredibly insightful and meaningful songs he's written -- that have an important message (IMO Seek Up, Cry Freedom, Spoon, Minarets, Squirm.....) But "Dont give up I know you can see all the world and the mess that were making lift up your eyes lift up your heart" ? Come on Dave. This is fucking bush league crap that I wrote when I was 13.
I want to defend him as being one of the GOAT songwriters, but when HE ( and it's ONLY Dave - the rest is some tight ass shit by the band) turns out this caliber work I'm at a loss.
