Re: (TV) Some Ominous News on Waterman's '33 1/3: MM' Approach

Compared to the guy from Of Montreal, Meloy's songwriting seems almost ok.
Most songs are lyrically just a parade of Kevin Barnes' ability to use a
dictionary and show off his "intellectualism". At first I thought it was cute,
but after the ~5th album it just got tiresome. Few lines from vegan in furs: 
Yes the dark epoch is over I've found my efeblum
Then passed Ernst's mausoleum
defended by a rook
Who shot a look so virulent it pierced me like a hook
The
palaver of Solipsists exploding in my skull
Yeah and we both despise all of
the academic swine
Who made the author of "Discus Ulysses" benign

I don't mind Meloy's voice
as much as some, but his songwriting bugs the
living piss out of me
sometimes.  At first it was sort of charming in a fey
way, but when you start
to realize that he literally cannot write anything
that's not some kind of
faux-Dickensian/sub-Kipling melodrama claptrap, it
gets old fast.

We are all
being kind of cranky, huh?
