3. Their lyrics would often seem to be misogynistic.
4. Their lyrics are not actually misogynistic.
5. Actually I have no proof that their lyrics are not actually misogynistic, but Decibel keeps telling me they’re not so I’m just gonna run with it.
6. That they have a song called “Piss Angel.”
7. That said song closes what’s basically a concept album about a nut job stalking his ex.
