Yeah but the fact that you condone "fun" songs (which I think bands should have) means that your bar for realness is subjective and you can apply it when you want to what you want.
If anyone remembers BezerkGorilla or whatever (who wrote the worst song ever in the SW forum), he had this conversation with me outside the boards about eminem. he said "Ya know, em keeps it real, sure he has some joke songs now and again, but hes usually real"
My point with him was that all great artists are story tellers, but here im saying your position is either all for or against with the "real" argument, which is why I hate it because songs ought to be judged on a moot point basis.
Give me a track to check out, what you'd consider the strongest track on the album and I'll give it a shot.
