HW: Lyrics

[Max Wilcox]

        For what it's worth - I think that Ron Tree's lyrics are gradually
becoming very good - the new stuff in Reptoid on IYA I thought was
excellent. Rizz's chorus' leave a lot to be desired, but his actual
spoken stuff is ok (and getting better).
        SF themes are SF themes in my opinion, doesn't matter if you dress them
up all postmodern - cyberpunk's the same stuff that people were doing in
the 60s. SF's a pretty flawed literary genre (note - IMO - note) - it is
in the imagery that it excels, which is what HW have always used. Many
of the band members have said at various times something to the effect
of "most SF is crap", but it is the imagery that is being used. Perhaps
they should take this maxim more seriously?
        Just some thoughts...
