I usually just focus on the music first, then I focus on the lyrics when I return to the album if the music's good enough. I'm in the same boat as Janzsoon with the standards that I have for lyrics i.e. not outright ****e. It also changes for genres, like I don't give two ****s about most black metal lyrics but focus very much on hip hop lyrics. I will look up the lyrics to make sure that I know what they're saying so that my understanding of the universe doesn't come crashing down years later when I find out I've been thinking of it the wrong way this whole time.
