Or writing in general. If you could read the lyrics on their own and it still holds up, post it here. The first one that popped in my head was ITAOTS, you could read that thing like a book.
with a few exceptions (YOOUUUU AREE INVITEEEDDD)
Idfc if its dadrock.
GOAT lyrically as far as im concerned

Have you ever even read a book?

Great taste m8. I never hear anybody talk about the Moodies.
In a story sense, I think Rush has put out a few good lyrical songs, notably 2112 and Cygnus X-1 (both parts).
>>61894901
came here to post this
also Blonde On Blonde and Illmatic spring to mind
Literally every single release by the Manic Street Preachers.
Honestly, probably American Idiot...
especially Let Me Watch
How can you have good lyrics if it doesn't rhyme? It requires virtually no skill to write lyrics that don't rhyme. Serious question
>>61895526
he might mean just lyrics which follow a coherent story
Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
>>61895526
Did you go to meme school?
>>61895594
Right on the money

OP here, this guy's got the idea I was going for.
Thanks for the albums guys I'm giving the ones I hadn't heard before a listen.
My next suggestion is: A Promise by Xiu Xiu
>>61895563
Its easy to write a coherent story. Having a coherent story that rhymes is much more impressive. Also, if ITAOS has a coherent story what is it? What lyrics in particular made you come to this conclusion?

The Money Store and No Love Deep Web by Death Grips. not memeing
"The bird that plucked the Olive Leaf
Has been circling like a record 'round the spindle in my mind
Where the needle's worn the grooves too deep,
And scratched the wax that's blistered from the heat besides
So from any movement in the room-
If my cat walked by the arm skipped!
But to my surprise, my interrupting cat improved
A sound already so severely compromised"
>>61896970
Actually yeah, these
>>61897758
Just about everything by mewithoutyou is god-tier lyrically.
>>61897916
aaron is the closest thing i've seen to a person i'd like to be like.
>>61894649
I can't hear The City without hearing Kelly Clarkson and laughing
>>61894649

>>61894622
>If you could read the lyrics on their own
This is a really bad criteria for what makes good lyrics.
