But it's a bit hard to make out a lot of the words on this album for sure. I'm sure I still hear many of them ... incorrectly

After Murmur and Reckoning, I think 'the hardest to make out the lyrics, ever' album is In My Tribe by 10,000 Maniacs. Which rather perfectly has Michael singing on one song.

HOWEVER that one actually came w/a lyric sheet, so ... I pretty much knew every word on that album by heart within a few weeks ... but before I read the words? I was like what the hell are you mumbling about Natalie?



Edit: wait, what am I saying ... Cocteau Twins were the absolute kings (errr ... queens) of inscrutable lyrics ... everyone else is behind them lol.
