I wouldn't call his lyrics emo, whiny I would call them and I don't think they are any good at all to be honest. You come across loads of lyrics such as his in doom, gothic, depressive black, nothing special about them.
But then again I am not one who gives a fuck about lyrics. His lyrics might have been of Shakespeare's level but that wouldn't make the average rip-off music on the last couple of Woods Of Ypres albums any better for me.

I really like the song's lyric Distraction Of Living Alone, somewhat sad mixed with satisfaction.
@Marcel: you never care what your favorite music genre i.e doom, thrash singing about ? is that you old and never bother the philosophy/emotion/attitude etc of the lyric,.. or you have no time to bother... : )

I think it's more of an attitude like "if the lyrics are great... that's good... if not... I don't care as long as the music is good" which is the same stand I have for lyrics.

I think that's a pretty common attitude for metalheads. It's mine also.

They are a huge inspiration to me as someone learning to write. Also I have been listening to this band for maybe, 6 years now. So lots of their songs I can relate to certain points in my life, especially the Green album. I like how they always manage to do something different musically, and I think David Gold's death was a huge loss to the metal community. Its too bad to lose someone who is that young.

Does anyone else think it's weird that not much has come out about the accident that killed David Gold? Why was nobody charged with the accident death if Gold was a pedestrian? Did he do something that made the accident his fault? It just seems odd to me.

Possibly due to a couple reasons (if in fact he didn't simply commit suicide). If he was walking on the highway, he's not legally regarded as a pedestrian as there aren't any sidewalks or pedestrian street signs. It would likely be ruled his fault if he did indeed get hit by a car while walking. It's different than in the city, where you have sidewalks, street lights, signs, etc.

Yeah, I just wonder why no specific information was ever released. Does Canada have freedom of information laws similar to the U.S., so someone could request the incident report from the police agency?

I'm not sure how similar exactly we are in terms of legalities, but I know in Ontario every citizen has the right to request information on behalf of a dead person from the Ontario Provincial Police. However, they don't always have to abide by your request, as some cases have restricted access. It's the same thing with the prisons in my city (Kingston's renowned for its penitentiaries) - you can request information about a prisoner from the Correctional Service of Canada, but only some inmates' information can be discussed openly.

On the whole I'd say they're better known for their gothic doom albums.

Yeah, "Woods IV" was a big break through for the band.

If you haven't, I really recommend The Pursuit Of The Sun And The Allure Of The Earth (A.K.A Woods II)
It's a lot lighter though, more acoustic bits, but I love it. It's a really good album, despite what Marcel may say.

Earache were after the rights for them but I have no idea what came of that in the end (and I think that may have been just vinyl as they were never pressed on that format). I think the problem is for Earache, now it's all passed and all the people that cared about Woods because David died have gone, they have a small fanbase again. Not worth doing it now for them.
