owl city's biggest problem, for me, is that the songs reveal a musician who is very far from being an artist- his lyrics are completely without meaning, and often seem constructed specifically for vagueness and devoid of a true emotional risk. the arrangements are similar, from what i've heard, in that they are completely banal: he makes no choices musically, in his instrumentation, in his song structure, in his melodies, that would reveal an artist willing to take risks in order to create true art. so for me, at least, his music is entirely without value, and i can't imagine why on earth anyone would waste their time listening to such mundane, pedestrian bullshit.
