WOW. You do realize that he did the same thing Mike did at the beginning of "Papercut", right? The word at the end of the line was the same but the word just before it was different each line and RHYMED WITH THE OTHER LINE. Fred did the same exact thing. You'd have to be deaf to not hear it. Therefor...you lose. lol.
Will, you bring up a damn good point. But I think Derek wanted to focus specifically on the "quality." Still, I agree with you both. Fred's lyrics are hardly meant to be taken seriously. He's a crowd-rocker and so his lyrics have to be the kind you can pump the crowd up with. For some songs (moreso on RMV) he tries to be serious and at times does a damn good job, but at times does a subpar job. I think Limp are an amazing band both live and studio-wise. People give them a bad rep. thanks to the media-bashing assholes. Don't go with that bad flow -- if you love them, be proud, I say.
I liked RMV over any other LB album, mainly becuase Fred actually attempted to sing rather than his annoying rapping on most previous albums, minus a few tracks here and there. And, yes, i know he rapped on RMV in atleast half of the songs, but the other tracks inwhich he sang, i thought they were pretty good. I'm looking forward to their next album... a little. I hope the band takes a more mature approach musically and lyrically. Although, from Freds posts, i think it will be heavier riifs w/ Fred rapping. Either way i'm curious as to how it will sound.
