Zach isn't too good. I love RATM but his lyrics don't strike me as awesome, although he does have perfect pronounciation of every word. But yeah most of his lyrics were just straight foward, Kurt wasn't too good either.

Well, RATM was always a political band. It's hard to have really have deep, metaphorical lyrics when most of your songs are political rants. Some of Zach's lyrics were pretty clever, and a lot of RATM songs had really catchy choruses that still made good points.

A lot of Kurt's lyrics were just stoned nonsense, but that's kinda what I like about them. They don't make a lot of sense, so they're pretty wide open to interpretation and they're easy to mold into something that you can relate to.

I thought some of his lyrics were really good. Songs like Know Your Enemy have some great bits in them.

Omar is a very underrated guitarist, its amazing to think that most of his solos arent played in scales.
