And he just doesn't seem to have it that much anymore.

Gigaton was one of his finest lyrical outings, pretty much top to bottom.

Gross! I'd argue there are a few songs that harkened back to his stronger days, but on the balance it left me wanting...

All of Eddie’s entries are good to great and definitely reward careful and thoughtful scruitiny. Buckle Up is quite strong with one or two puzzling moments. Alright is not my speed but it fits the song well. Take the long way is the weak link for me, but it might just be that I dont like its message.

But it is doing interesting thematic things on its own, as an evolution of Lightning Bolt, and as a career reappraisal. Its one of the most coherent and weirdly ambitious (in terms of its ultimate scope and sweep) he has done to date. I love it
