I generally don't pay as much attention to lyrics, unless they're prominent enough to have a significant effect on the song (e.g. Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Joanna Newsom) or if a song happens to be pretty catchy. Maybe it's because I find it hard to understand lyrics unless they're in Urdu (same problem with movies, so I watch them with subtitles mostly). Another thing is that, for me, the quality of lyrics is closely tied to the vocal performance (both its quality and its relation with what is being expressed in the lyrics).

This
I'm a production guy, so I'll be fine if the production is on fleek.

No.
Poor lyrics are such a turn off for me that I can't even continue to listen to the album, even if everything else is incredible.

Rightly or wrongly, I wonder how many people thought of Yes when considering this topic.
