His labrynthian style and chafe instrumentals are a parallel to white muscicians who adopted jazz and managed to miss the entire point of the emotional aspect of the art and turned it into a masturbatory exercise in musical technicality.

uhh...

Slacker-bound intimate tabloid headline with a pulse
Shimmy cross the centerfold, enter dead time engulfed
Divvy crumbs for the better souls
With seven deadly stains, adhere the blame to crystal conscience
The result's a lowlife countin' on one hand what he's accomplished
Okay, link me to activism chain activate street sweep
Plug deteriorating cenobite pendragon
I hock spores coursed by the morbid
Spreading of mad men, Alley gospel
Sinking your Lincoln-Log cabin and Charlie Chaplin waddle

Honestly I feel like he gets far better over time. In the start of his career you can feel that he identifies his skill of creating tales so convoluted that you either have to read it like a shakespearean work made of only medical terms, obscure references and stories that progress through their abstraction simultaneously. It's almos like over his career he had to learn what it's like to be an actual artist with coherent stories that can feed to the emotional demand required of art that can legitamitely touch it's listeners. As opposed to having nerds obsessed with the overcomplicated nomenclature and only wanting to decipher it like a mental activity.
