There is a presupposition here that metal lyrics are intelligible - in the sense of being able to hear what the words actually are - to the average listener. Without lyric sheets I doubt the average listener would know what half the lyrics are.

“Intelligible” is in the ear of the behearer. Most pop music to me is pretty hard to comprehend, and the harsh vocal portion of metal can be hard to interpret without a lyric sheet, true enough. But the clean vocals in most metal are pretty easily understood, IMHO. Of course, that’s with many years experience in the genre, so YMMV.

There’s a huge variety in metal, some are going to be sung in a way harder to understand but not all of it is that way. If anything most of it is sung normally, and as you get into the heavier stuff then you get a lot of growling and whatnot.

And as Docosc says, the same can be said for other genres. There are songs/artists in other genres i can’t understand :man_shrugging:

They are pandering to those whose spelling expertise is suspect because it is better to give them what they are actually looking for than say ‘no results’ and potentially miss a sale, despite the fact that it reinforces the wrong spelling as being correct in the searcher’s mind.

But how else are we Brits going to separate ‘us’ from ‘others’? The English language’s irregular foibles are a good tool for this purpose. /s

Absolutely! I fully agree and would say the same about them. The topic was metal lyrics. I should have made clearer that my comment was not a specific dig at metal, per se, just a comment on the subject in question.

In 1971 Yasuichi Mizutani met couple Japanese people in Helsinki. To celebrate this merting they decided to record a single. They found the phone number of Love Records called them and for whatever reason they said yes.

Some, though, really test my mettle.
