Why are Nicky's lyrics in the EMG, TIMT and KYE eras his best?

[Radiomanic]

Lyrically the best album they've ever done i think is TIMTTMY. I'm not much of a lyrics person as music is my real passion, but you'd have to be a complete arse not to appreciate Wire's lyrics on this record. They are probably the most direct and honest he has ever written, and probably ever will. I think the fact that he knew he'd be writing the first MSP album without Richey helped matters, and i certainly prefer his lyrics to Richey's as i cannot relate to them whatsoever.
