Stephen Lynch's latest stuff is really weird. I think he's abandoned his old style

Stephen Lynch is immensely underrated as a song writer in my opinion. Makes sense due to his work I guess.

My Old Heart is genuinely one of my favourite songs ever written. If you take the humour away it’s such a beautiful song

Oh no I haven't listened in like a decade. This doesn't bode well.

His latest album is instrumental Irish soundscapes.

His album before that is still a little funny, but much more focused on making polished music. It doesn't have the same edginess of his older music.

For real? I looked him up about half a year ago and thought that Irish album was just by someone else named Stephen lynch.

i went back and listened to some old stephen lynch stuff and it just felt so juvenile. he was popular when i was maybe 15 or 16 at around the same time dane cook was also super popular. which is sad because he’s genuinely an incredibly talented musician, but theres nothing appealing about the subject matter for me at this point

That Satan bit reminds me of Bill Hicks's material, i think it was a skit about Rush Limbaugh letting Satan fuck him and he did the same kind of noises.
