I like "Hell Broke Luce" a lot too. I don't have any trouble understanding the lyrics though, never have with his songs in general. Maybe it's just the faux-southern accent on songs like that make him harder to understand if English isn't you first language?

Anyway, yeah, "Hell Broke Luce" is great, as you say one of the heaviest songs he's ever done, and it's hilarious to hear him swearing so much in a song. My other nomination for best song on the album are the first four tracks, "Chicago", "Raised Right Men", "Talking at the Same Time", and "Get Lost".
I'd rather listen to "Pay Me" than "Kiss Me" or "Tell Me".

"Hell Broke Luce", "Satisfied", "Bad As Me", "Get Lost", and "Talking at the Same Time" are getting thoroughly stuck in my head and I like it.

I thought "Last Leaf" wasn't bad, myself. "She Stole the Blush" is a bit more shrug worthy to me...
