Matt's Greatest Lyrical Performance?

[dude1234]

What, in your opinion, is Matt's greatest lyrical performance?

[Peter Griffin]

Workers Sing a Song of Mass Production

I've always liked the lyrics for Flight Recorder From Viking 7, I don't think its his best, but its very good. Indestructible has great lyrics, IMO. Apparitions and Alert Status Red do, too.

[bobbyshane]

wow.. that really is a tough one... I would go with either avalanche or the rat who would be king..

[Shortcut To Moncton]

It really could be almost any of them due to Matt's calibre. Other artists wouldn't have nearly as many competing.

[glassjaw]

I love the way matt's voice sounds in under the influence, near the end when he's belting out "under the influence"

 

or in man of action....he sounds great in that too.

[Prometheon]

In Middle Class Gangsters he amazes me with how high he goes in the 'losin` our waaaaaaaayyy' part.

[Monochrome Rainbow]

Neither of the two above posts have anything to do with lyrical performance.

 

It's a toss up for me; either Weapon, PTD, Fine Art, or Running for Home. I don't think I can narrow it down any further.

[Scotty33]

in my oppinion strange days was one of matts bets lyrical songs because it seems to tell a story

[LexyGirl]

avalanche

[oneeighty]

Possibly one of toughest questions to answer.

 

For me, it's between Sort of a Protest Song and Prime Time Deliverance , though with the exception of Indestructible , I wouldn't so much as raise an eyebrow at anybody else's selection; there really is so much quality to consider.

it still gives me the chills

[timotheory]

Prime Time Deliverance is just amazing both lyrically and musically. Fine Art and Sort of a Protest Song are brilliant as well. But House of Smoke and Mirrors, the line "I've been asleep for years" just does something to me. The first time I heard that, I got shivers sent down my spine, and they return everytime I listen to that song.

[Doormat]

I'd say advertising on police cars and a close second; avalanche.

Suburbia.

 

The phrasing is amazing.

 

No song sounds like it.

Well the fact that it says 'performance' made me think they just mixed up lyrical and vocal.

[Jarrod]

ummm....well....all of his songs...

 

but avalanche has soo much passion in it. same with PTD. and tons of others. how can i just pick one?

[davidw]

Prime Time Deliverance, Avalanche, While We Were Hunting Rabbits and Sort of a Protest Song.

[RicardoObviouso]

tripoli.... by far.

[Goupil]

First : The fine art of falling apart... Anyone is a monster compare to your perfection.

 

Second : Avalanche....memories of summer 02
