![]() "Odette" is a good example of song that is a grower. Some songs are catchier than others, but they all carry some very good lyrical and musical value upon multiple listens. Between the good acoustic guitar riff and good horns, Good lets off this powerful line over and over, "Only killers call killing progress." He even delivers a really good threat at one point: "You're gonna get what you deserve, and not a bullet less."Įven though this appears to be only a good attempt at using Good's name as a pun as many times as possible, the album has some true value. "Black Helicopters" is a commentary about the modern perception of the good ol' war. One line in the album stood out to me as particularly good: "This aching heart's been handed down, but I'm done with it," from "The Boy Come Home."Īmongst all the gems of this album, Good finds himself presenting a good political rant. With such variety in songs like Pink Floyd-inspired "Champions of Nothing," to the good, lax cover of Dead Kennedys' "Moon over Marin," Good has a natural talent for conveying his emotions. I watched his good Ted Talk about the difference between genius and mental illness.Įven though Good suffers from a psychological disorder, it's possible that it makes his music more good. Now he is doing some good work as both a musician and an advocate for improved mental health care. He ended up overdosing, and admitted himself to a good hospital. Why aren't things good? Apparently Good was going through a divorce and dealing with the stress of that, along with an earlier miscarriage, coupled with this good-bad bipolarity cycle. Lyrically, the song is all about the not-so-good things that have happened to him as of late. One of the most good songs on Good's Hospital Music is "Born Losers." It's a bit catchy, in both its good lyrics and good guitar playing. Whether he's singing a painfully good melody or playing some smooth, good chords, he's always good. What makes it so good is Good's good lyricism and songwriting. The album as a whole is very good, dare I say, superb. By that, I mean a lot of the songs are very good. Review Summary: Matthew Good?
