And I guess people are satisfied cause it seems "deep" and "meaningful" but it still reeks of being lazy and slapped together.

A ballad like Tonight Tonight, Disarm, 33 or even Shame exuded passion, vulnerability and was beautifully poetic. This new music is still the simplistic, formulaic writing people hated on Monuments but with a pseudo-personal coating.

All the dramatic and sensational orchestra replicated synths can't cover the fact that there's just nothing really all that interesting or inspiring here.
the repetiveness of the lyrics is really ridiculous. like how can he not realize that's bad?

it worked in rhinoceros cause that's like psychedelic shoegaze stuff. if it's just him and an acoustic it's boring as hell
