Simplicity is genius. - 




The genius of Theoretical Girl is her great simplicity. She layers these really simple melodies on top of each other, incrementally building into one catchy tune! Aside from that, she has a great voice that lends itself to this modular design.
I feel "The Hypocrite" is the epitome of this. The lyrics are simple, but well thought. The percussions repeat pretty much the whole song, but are still very effective. And. of coarse, the guitars... the guitars... I could just listen to instrumentals of this song. The guitars carry such a catchy, simple tune and are do well to set up the overall sound.
I didn't give this a star rating because it is impossible to take an abstract opinion and create a mathematical scaling for it, but also largely because I want to give this song a five stars, yet what stops me is the knowledge that there are better songs out there. That is, better songs by this very artist. But, this song does not deserve as little as four stars.
