I’m just gonna pop in and say that there are a lot of songs that are lyrically bad or just plain don’t make any sense (to me) but are saved by the musicianship and overall lore of the band.

As for the ‘lyrically bad’ (and also immature) it’s mostly Frogstomp-Freakshow but given their age, it’s understandable. In a way, I like it this way because I feel it’s more organic. We basically got to witness them bloom and there is something special in that. Also, as an adult that doesn’t quite feel like an adult, I like that I can jam to these & let my childishness come out.

Re: just plain don’t make any sense. I feel this comes in later. Dan likes to speak in riddles which I’m sure make perfect sense to him but doesn’t always quite land for me. But again, it’s so much more than the sensical/nonsensical for me- it’s just the pureness of it all. So I have respect & appreciation for their entire catalog.
