I'm in agreement here. I'll probably dig this more live. But who knows til it happens.
They do seem to have mastered the art of neutering awesomeness in the studio.
Which seems so strange, considering their history. It's like they have collective amnesia about their prior albums.

The guitar tone on what I think is a solo sounds pretty clean, so so much for my guitar fuzzzzzzzz.

Stip, we need you here. That's all I'm saying. Your optimism is an inspiration.

That's asking alot. Ill setting for good lyrically.
I think it depends on what you think is dropping the ball vocally. For these shouty songs I've never been one to say Ed's 'lost it', like others have. I don't care what he sounds like screaming down a mic, whether he runs out of breath or whatever. I'm only really bothered about him singing well.

unless he's applying that sheen to his voice (supersonic, unemployable, ole, maybe big wave) I love how he sounds on those shredding songs these days. Like a survivor.
