Do you understand the words to the Mus U listen to


The words/message many times is hard to understand with some artists.
Dave Matthews at times is like what is he on about?

Paul MaCatney is easy on the words and is quiet funny at times. Most singers mumble their words and frankly I think they have no real message worth thinking about.

PM Mistress & Maid is a message that speaker to the issues of the heart and you can understand the blinking words. Another one is Hope Of Deliverance. Makes the song that much better when you hear/understand a real message.

Any take on Jethro Tull?

What say you?

Early R.E.M. had obscure lyrics compounded by M. Stipe's mumbling delivery but they are some of my favorite current albums; they compounded that by refusing to print their lyrics. Radiohead is not a marvel of clarity either, but similarly I love lots of their work. Mahler's "Das Lied Vor Der Erde" is one of my favorite classical works and my German is minimal. Sometimes I'm compelled to hunt down the words or dutifully listen while looking at the words on my laptop or album insert. Lyrics are an ingredient and the art is in the delivery; thankfully music is beyond words.
Listen To Peter Gabriel's Games Without Frontiers - Kate Bush is heard singing "She's so popular" or is she actually saying something else?
Ini kamoze Hotstepper sounds like "Curly Rock" instead of "Murderer"

And INXS definitely sound like someone is saying "Better than Oasis" instead of "Elegantly Wasted" on the track with the same title.

Lizzie,
Basing your responses on blind defensive assumptions and not fact will only be a misguided brand specific ownership ideal.
Has2be , a former owner of bryston pp 120's, 3bst, 4bsst,7bsst mono blocks, bp20, bp25p. Current owner of Bryston PP 300sst to drive bass drivers with a pair of Cary rocket 88R driving mids and tweets. I don't wear blinders some old horses do when it comes to name brands biased by ownership, just what I hear from LISTENING !. I have heard ultra expensive systems I did not care for heard low cost systems that impressed me. Your belief yours and others are "better" is as absurd as your nose oil uses. Like it or not Brystons are bright sounding amps. If they were not why would Tanner of gone to the trouble of the SST2 line to provide some warmth they needed. I buy with 2 criteria Lizzie. 1/ what I hear and how it sounds to me and 2/ I conscider the brands ability to service and stand behind their product which Bryston does do the latter well.
By the way when you looked up the word platitude it actually describes the bryston house sound ,however there are many brands that offer the strengths that bryston's have and less of the weekness's at both higher and lower prices . It,s a personal preference not a case of "better" as you believe and state. I also know that I could better my own system as we all try to, but not compared to someone elses as you stated but rather my own and my tastes.
Regardess of personal preferences we all have, all gear has its own sonic signature and like it or not Bryston is well known for it's authoritive bass and its bright sound. But you would know that if your system was as "highly resolving" as you say it is because that IS the sound of bryston with nothing in the chain to lessen your superior resolution claimed.

Cheers
