Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people.
All of Gabel's most recent songs are about events or people, never about his ideas or his feelings or interpretations, just his reactions to things happening around him. I miss him being actually angry about things and willing to stand up and tell you "let someone take our place, let them be your entertainment." I know that he said it, then he did it, but I wish he would at least continue writing more... honest songs. Since the end of Searching, no song has been even half as heartfelt as anything from earlier albums. It's all so boring. Also, without the smart lyrics, all I can focus on is how bad his annunciation is of words. SUFFOCASHUN <doodledoo>.
