I have a relationship with Jedi Mind Tricks that makes me a little uncomfortable. They sound good. I really like their sound but when you listen to their lyrics it is really awful. Lots of anti-gay, hateful and other stuff that is really not what I am about. I have settled into just listening to the music because it sounds good and ignoring the lyrics but it gets hard. I don't worry that the music is going to sway me to that viewpoint... I am not that weak willed. Really I just wonder how others deal with music they enjoy the sound of but feel uncomfortable about the meaning behind.

GUNSHIP.

I'm so glad they release instrumental versions of their albums. Their singing grates on me.

I have this with The Midnight too. I have respect for Tyler as a songwriter, but the lyrics often veer way to far into saccharine popsong territory for me.

It's interesting, Alex sings like he's afraid of singing. It's this weird, uncertain tone as if there there's no breath support behind it. In every song with a feature the guest-vocalist blows him out of the water.
