Actually I think he's pretentious, rather than intelligent, hence my opinion of his having grating lyrics. He also quotes Jane's Addiction, the Doors and lots of others in the same track - ultimately so what? He doesn't actually do anything with the references, and if he's supposed to be some kind of post-modern culture jammer or something, I find it all so blatant as to be tedious.
