Lyrical rating of Mosaic?
Personally, I feel Stereolithic was their top album for lyrics since SS or Transistor, and of course, Uplifter was abymsal. But Mosaic, while I don't think as strong as Stereolothic, has some extremely solid substance. Even with songs like Perfect Mistake, they really rounded out their approach. With the exception of the piece of shit that is TTCOF, this album is packed with some gems. Some of my favorites:
Wildfire:
And you can pray to your god but your god can't fix
How I look at this world and if I am crying
It's cause I'm at the bigger life and I'm a die laughing
Haha
Perfect Mistake
This is a dream from the rest of our team no one can intervene
Until the end of our days there is no in between
Picking up the pace, the chase, moving through outer space
Driven out by the fire that drives the human race
Extension
Stand undefeated
Completed anything that we set our mind
United by a fire to be undefined
One In The Same:
One and the same is the yin and the yang
Comprising everything
Greater than the sum of the parts
That's why we got this far
Vital to the survival
Of the human
Face In The Wind
EVERY GOD DAMNED WORD
I could go on, but yeah, they really did a fantastic job here. I could find a ton of more examples, but I'm feeling done and lazy.
What are some of your favorite moments?
