I know I'm going to probably get flamed for this, but I agree. After listening to ODR for well over a year(and enjoying it, might I add) I've come to a few conclusions: 1. Myles is a helluva vocalist 2. Mark is an amazing guitarist and 3. Mark is an average lyricist. When you compare what he has written on this album(lyrically) to what Myles did in MF4(lyrically) or what Stapp did in Creed(lyrically), there is no comparison, as far as I am concerned. Mark is capable of writing some good stuff lyrically(look at the chorus of MOP, or the first verse of WTLF, for example), but I truly believe that Myles and Stapp are both much better lyricists than Mark is. My hope is that Myles does the bulk of the lyric writing for the next AB album.
