[@Fabricant451] Well I'm half done with your suggestions, overall I'm grateful for your suggestions. Found a lot of good music, I probably wouldn't of found myself. Here's some of my thoughts of them and will post opinion of the 2nd half eventually. [s]It's a lot of music to go through. :P[/s] Ween – I liked it. (My favorite album thus far.) I'd call it enjoyable, unique and interesting music. Brilliant and purely positive lyrical writing? Not as sure about that. “The Blarney Stone”/ “Cold Blows The Wind” are kind of dark lyrically in particular. “Waving My Dick In The Wind” Instantly reminded of me of something Biffy Clyro would write. (not a good OR bad thing mind.) Most lyrics overall remind of the Beatles “I'm The Eggman” (which was made to be nonsense, as a joke.) I doubt I'm suppose to be analyzing the lyrics of this music. (And now I will know the “Waving My Dick In The Wind” band, wrote “The Loop De Loop” song for Spongebob...thank you youtube. I'm not sure if I needed that insight. But I have it now.) The Flaming Lips – Another one I enjoyed. Had good lyrics, but I just didn't get very positive lyrical vibes from a lot of these songs. Several songs had something that had a dark tone to it. (“But life without death is just impossible, Oh, to realize something is ending within us. Feelin' yourself disintegrate.” “I accidentally touched my head and noticed that it had been bleeding. for how long i did not know. What was this, I thought, that struck me?” “Theirs is to win if it kills them. They're just humans with wives and children.”) Animal Collective – Very first track apparently has to do with accidental love/abortion according to a website, but it's not very happy sounding lyrically regardless. ^-^' This is also apparently supposed to be a break up album...or at least the last half of one. Some of these songs are pretty simple lyrically. “Bees” for one example. Also wasn't my favorite. Their constant odd vocal squeals I suppose do add a silly vibe. But I don't think it adds much to the songs otherwise. Deerhoof – The lyrics are as basic and simple (to the point of childish.) as they can get. “Pan-da Night-night Pan-da Beep-beep Pan-da Tung-sun Pan-da Ding-ding” But it's decent noise rock. The vocals do bring a lighter mood, albeit far too obnoxious for my taste. (Listened to the entire album from the song that was on.) Moullinex – It was really hard to locate official lyrics for a lot of it, but it seemed like pretty standard dance/electronica music. It was happy though I doubt their was many complex/well thought out lyrics. Take A Chance was an enjoyable track. The Polyphonic Spree – (Again listened to whole album.) Really liked the opening track and this definitely gives off positive vibes, lots of chanting and is also musically interesting at parts. Not sure if the lyrics are that great, but probably the best example I've heard thus far of what I was looking for. (Also they were in “Scrubs” which basically gives them a free pass from criticism.) Stevie Wonder – Does this sound lyrically happy to you? xP “Broken glass is everywhere It's a bloody scene Killing plagues the citizens Unless they own police Children play with rusted cars Sores cover their hands Politicians laugh and drink-drunk to all demands” “Starvation roams the streets Babies die before they're born Infected by the grief Now some folks say that we should be Glad for what we have Tell me would you be happy in Village Ghetto Land?” This was not the only example of darkness in the lyrics, (Saturn is another example.) Though I'll be honest and I've never listened to Stevie Wonder, but it's clear from what I listened to that he's a pretty great song writer and I did enjoy this album, and that track in particular. He's definitely more than a love song writer, which was what many gave me the impression he was. But I don't know if this does anything but help my case. Because the stronger/more poignant songs on this album have lyrics that have some darkness in them. (And now I know Pastime Paradise inspired, Gangster paradise and subsequently the much better Amish Paradise. So he get's extra brownie points in my eye. :P)
