Yes... he's a lyrical master of the genre. Most others are pretenders imo when it comes to writting meaningful lyrics... the shock rock thing gets in the way of the quality of writting he generally does imo too and keeps some people from taking him seriously as an artist, which is too bad. I've turned two people (who NEVER would have given him a chance on their own) into fans. Both of them are the quiet types that you'd never imagine would be MM fans too which is awesome to me lol.
He has a genius IQ. Listen to many of his interviews and you can tell. Very soft-spoken and thoughtful in most cases (unless he's just ****in with the interviewer which happens too.)
He's one of my 5 favorite artists of all time easily.

Yep. The whole Shock Rock label and his persona have really kept people from listening to his lyrics. It's such a shame. I really think he is one of the best song writers out there right now.
Love this song:
