Their old stuff was punk, like off their self-titled album, but it didn't have that same rasta sound as their newer stuff does... Re: Intelligent lyrics in punk... Well, Jello Biafra is intelligent, and most of the stuff I listen to, even if its not INTELLIGENT, has more relevance to me than lame metal lyrics. You're right, tho-- most punk is not very intelligent... I like the politics involved, though, even if they are just an excuse to rebel. I'm not an avid metal fan, but I just haven't heard much metal with any political overtones at all... -Boo
