For me it's the opposite. The song start and the music is a banger but as soon as the lyrics comes, it's ruined.
I'm with you on this one. There are lyrics on almost every single track for crying out loud. Throw us instrumental lovers a bone won't you? Songs that are lyrically driven but are otherwise super-repetitive instrumentally tend to put me to sleep.
What I love about concerts is when the band goes off script and just starts jamming. Even a 5-minute drum solo will have me grinning ear to ear, and that's what I'll be remembering on the way home.
Repetitive instrumental pattern is my #1 skip reason xD that "Aight I'm bored" moment when you realize the song has nothing more to give is a sad waste of time.
I love 21 pilots and Foo fighters for their great instrumental + vocal balance
Trash lyrics fucking up an otherwise good song. It happens far too often.
That's why I'm just a bit of a fan of Thom Yorke's whole "using my voice as an instrument, the words don't mean anything" vibe because at least he purposefully isn't trying to make meaningful lyrics and instead is just trying to add another instrument to the music.
