Cab we just talk about how insanely bad INTERPOL's Paul Banks is at writing lyrics?
They're honestly some of the worst I've ever heard, they don't follow a plotline, they don't have any emotion to them, they're just pretending to be edgy. I don't want to shit on the rest of the band, they're actually not too bad in regards to creative composure but the lyrics ruin the songs. "Obstacle 1" is great but I have no fucking idea how they let Paul write and sing those terrible lyrics time after time.
INTERPOL sucks

The reason this is my favorite album of the 21st century is in large part because it's one of the rare albums to exist with perfect vocals and lyrics. The music's obviously good as well but the lyrics are what solidifies its status.

agreed

"Ah yes lyrics. I care so much for those, in fact I care about them more than the instrumentation itself" -Some brainlet faggot with a dick up their ass

Samuel Wood
Instrumentation wise, yeah, its not that bad.
Sebastian Smith
awful
Daniel Carter
Not really, although it isn't bad it isn't quite good either especially when compared to the album's best tracks such as The New, Say Hello To The Angels, PDA, Stella Was A Diver And She Was Always Down and to some degree Leif Erikson

Nobody with any integrity or opinions of their own credits Bob Dylan as a master Lyricist. Bands like The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, The Smiths, and The Clash have written brilliant lyrics that turn everyday occurances into poetic, eye opening phrases. They wrote/write high quality relatable stuff that fits the music.

Levi Wood
bad lyrics in good songs are why you're supposed to self-insert as the lead singer and re-write their songs with lyrics pertaining to your imagined love life and pretend you are performing the songs live in front of your adoring fans

Jesus, Paul
Ethan Ross
Okay, but what about the actual music?
David Parker
It's meant to be
>she can read, she's bad
But shitty vocal tone and how obnoxiously loud everything else is leads it to sound like something much more comical
Oliver Collins
If you could turn their songs into a pie and just remove Paul's vocal slice, it'd be a solid 7.5/10
Ian Flores
Well I don’t disagree with you but Dylan is a very talented lyricist wtf you talking about

>Her rabid glow is like braile to the night
That's a good line and he has many others that are good as well
Cryptic songwriting can be interesting as long as it has a poetic rhythm to it and creates interesting imagery.
Sometimes that can be more interesting than confessional-style lyrics even.
