For Those Who Don't Listen To Lyrics

There's almost nothing worse than a political artist i.e. Dixie "We hate George Bush" Chicks, Kanye "George Bush hates black people" West. The problem is we listen to music to get away from the troubles of the world i.e. politics. Do it once, we skip. Do it twice, we drop. The thing is the listener isn't going to agree, and with political matters the artist isn't likely to budge anybody. So what's the point? My point exactly.
Derek Webb's whole album is nothing but controversial politics. Sure the guy makes great beats, but for anybody that's lyric conscious, you won't touch this album with a 10-foot pole. It's a grinchy album for grinchy people like Mr. Webb. Good music, bad lyrics.
Note: The music also doesn't fit. An upbeat song about torture doesn't work. View All Music And Book Reviews By art10 | View art10's Profile
