>My bias is towards the music, not the lyrics: it is called "rock music", not "rock literature". And there's a reason: as literature, it is worth very little. Even the greatest rock lyricists are, at best, mediocre poets. No surprise, therefore, that i rarely mention the lyrics of a song. The overall feeling is, in general, much more important than the literal message.
What did he mean by this? Did he mean that he is actually an illiterate moron who can't understand deep lyrics? Fucking retard.
He's right though, judging music by its lyrics are like judging a movie by its soundtrack. Both are important components, but will most often take the back seat to more important aspects.

>i like muh lyrics over anemically strummed acoustic guitars: the post
end your life, peasant
He mentions lyrics at the end of Faust, one of his highest rated albums.

No probably not.
Scaruffi doesn´t understand english so it would be impossible for him too understand lyrics, therefor he pretends that the lyrics are not important
>>63901874
why is he always so right?
>>63902117
anon doesn't understand music therefore he pretends that lyrics and artist's personality are important
>>63902183
fucking rekt lmao
Songs are by definition lyrics and music put together, therefore to properly review a song you need to take both into consideration. Scaruffi knows this too, he just has a bad way of phrasing this. Dylan is one of his highest rated songwriters, his music has always been banal compared to his words.

oh boy

>Songs are by definition lyrics and music put together
wrong
>his music has always been banal compared to his words.
also wrong
>>63902183
You clearly don't understand music if you don't understand how lyrics are not simply literary but innately musical as well
>>63902478
This song.. Or wait not song? Has the best lyrics imo http://youtu.be/Fk8qcGOtBFw

>A song is a single (and often standalone) work of music intended to be sung by the human voice with distinct and fixed pitches and patterns using sound and silence and a variety of forms that often include the repetition of sections. Written words created specifically for music or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics.

>all rock compositions are "songs"
>>63902593
>poetic rhythm and music are the same
nigga, just stop
jump off a building
as a non english native speaker, there are very little music lyrics worth checking out (artists like Joanna newsom, Bob Dylan, Cohen etc)

>He doesn't understand speech melody
>He doesn't understand that Hymnal meter is different to poetic meter
>He doesn't understand that the meaning of lyrics is inherently tied to the context of the music and vice versa

>>63901874
he basically states that if you only take the lyrics of any good song, it would be mediocre compared to good poetry.
>>63902797
and he is absolutely correct
>>63902779
>he doesn't understand that most rockists write lyrics in hopes to give their lackluster compositions any merit
l m a o
good point on hymnal meter tho
>>63901874
He is absolutely right, as always.
scaruffi is a patrician and op is upset because he thinks rock lyrics are good
>muh stairway to heaven
even albums like hospice were the lyrics are important, they'd be meaningless without the music
>>63901874
>filename not lusty negro attitudes
You had one job OP
>>63901874

>>63903087
