I got a copy of the new Nada Surf album, The Weight Is a Gift a couple of weeks ago, but haven't had time to listen to it until this weekend. Musically it's fine, sounds much like Nada Surf as we know them, but lyrically, it's abominable. Let's have a sample, shall we, from track 3, "Almost Love":

To make a mountain of your life
Is just a choice
But I never learned enough
to listen to the voice that told me
Always love…hate will get you every time
Always love…Don’t wait till the finish line

I can't write anymore without getting ill, but the full lyrics are here.
