I dunno guys, the songwriting here is as weak and lazy as it's ever been if you ask me... But instead of repeating a shallow phrase over and over again for a chorus like "come on come on can you feel it" it's now "take me as I am" over and over and over again... 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.
