Okay, is it just me or does this song suck?
Excuse my negativity, but I think the new song the Avett Brothers played at SXSW is probably the worst song they have ever written. The melody is uninteresting, the lyrics are dull, the string instruments don't blend with the rest of the song, referencing Romeo and Juliet is such a cliche move, and the whole science/museum metaphor is extremely cheesy. Maybe the song is a joke and I have no sense of humor. It's disappointing because the other new songs they've released like Ain't No Man and Satan Pulls the Strings are amazing, the second one being one of the best songs they have ever performed in my opinion.
Here is a link to the video. You can state your opinion too since this is a free country:
