Yes, the lyrics are horrendous, but TOTBL was ok, because you either couldn't understand them anyway, or you could assume it was a stylistic choice.
Then we realized that no, sadly, it wasn't a style maneuver. It was just bad writing.

Yeah thats what i meant, they got poor once you understood the lyrics, i.e. everything after TOBL
"You make me wanna pick up a guitar and celebrate the myriad ways that i love you"
Now, you could get away with that in a perky pop-punk song, as long as you drop the completely pointless use of the word "myriad" and you hide it in a tune, or in a sleazy rock n roll song for the same reason. But when youre going for a "bleak" sound and you use something like that, you will end up sounding like a sixth former who thinks Love Will Tear Us Apart is just about that girl who you kinda fancy and nothing more.
