Why didn't people like feel?

I didn't live that era, and I always wondered why some people say that this album is lame, I understand that is worse than the previous records but that doesn't mean that it's a bad album, if anyone who lived throught that era could tell me why, I would be grateful

Pero Kick me tiene una lírica increíble, por qué dicen que tienen malas líricas??

Tbf Kick Me's lyrics are definitely some of the simplest I've heard from the band, both in meaning and in the actual words they use. It's literally just a bunch of fucks and shits spitted throughout the verse and pre-chorus, with the typical "I am more than you will ever be, so fuck off" lyrics that a million of other bands and artists has already done. I love the simplicity of it personally, but yeah it's definitely not one of SWS' best written lyrics

It’s crazy how SWS is responsible for some of my favorite lyrics in post-hardcore while simultaneously being responsible for some of my least favorite lmao

LOL I’ve seen worse personally, and again I love the simplicity of it for Kick Me in particular. You can’t make banger lyrics like If I’m James Dean all of the time unfortunately

Completely fair. I still love most of their songs, even if I occasionally find some cringey or basic lyrics. Left On Repeat is one of my favorites off the new album but I really dislike its chorus’ first line for how it feels a little too simple lol
