Good observation, very ELO. This one will have to grow on me. The drums are mixed really low and sound more like a drum machine than Jimmy, he might have found himself being asked to drum for a genre of music where his otherwise legendary rhythmic creativity fails him. Meanwhile that monotonous string part is mixed really high. I give Billy credit for broadening his horizons and featuring a vocal chorus, but I think they way they mixed this track really gets in the way of me wanting to hear it more than twice. The drum part is boring, but if it was higher in the mix, it would be a groovy track.
