His lyrics lately have been terrible though.. worse than ever.
Yeah, I don't really "care" about lyrics but why did Malkmus's lyrics suddenly get... non-cryptic... direct.. and uninteresting, after Slanted? Anyone know?

I don't think the lyrics on Btc or WZ are non-cryptic, direct, or uninteresting
