Yes im not acting like its different, im saying that it seems more TFE unfocused then it does most SP stuff. Like he just wrote it and it encompasses a general vibe rather than being specific. Most detail seems to generic and impersonal the way it reads. But I haven't grasped all the lyrics yet. I am also kinda dissapointed with the lack of emotional edge portrayed in Billy's voice. Even poor/mediocre lyrics can be dressed up if Billy uses his range to make it show he feels them, I don't know what happened to it after Machina. Adversely good lyrics and sentiments will seem flaccid if he doesn't put that emotion in.

While I say this though, I have become used to Billy's more mature restrained voice, and I still like it. But he misses that edge, the edge which personifies his dialect and gives it the character to manifest itself emotionally in the listeners mind.
