(Headless Owl) At some point lyrical cleverness can be a bane –
too clever can mean profoundly
annoying and cringe inducing. But then there’s the next level: too too
clever, which is when witty rhymes, well-balanced obscure pop references,
erudite ephemera, meta-self reflection and word floods add up to something
special.The Burning Hell dude doesn’t just bust out jaunty, bouncy melodies and
arrangements, he also makes them catchy and pleaant without being show offy,
and if you apply this formula to tales of writers, rappers, workers, Wu Tangs, and
epic Viking enchantment heroes and villains…it’s a can’t myth!
