Hmmm, they're all right. I think these are their only passable songs:
Human
When We Were Young
Somebody Told Me (ignore the lyrics, they're mindless drivel) |
Thanks mav.
I immediately recognized the singers voice. I think I've heard "Human" 2 or 3 times in the last week.
I listened to:
Human
When We Were Young
Romeo and Juliet
Read My Mind
Somebody Told Me
(ordered from least favorite to most favorite)
They write good music (and the lyrics are simply part of the music). Every tune was catchy. It seems fairly obvious that the music probably comes first, followed by lyrics that are fit into the music.
The lyrics on the other hand are unimpressive, going from downright simple and sometimes verging on nonsense, to OK.
I'm guessing that they write their songs based on an overall performance perspective - it is the overall feeling of the song that matters, not any component.
I can see why Alizée might like them (In fact, I wonder if Romeo & Juliet was a possible partial inspiration for her song MJ). They are very listenable, and "nice," - kind of like her.
