And yeah, I think this. Plus, Ed and everyone else in the band have had their share of lyrical clunkers. I would probably put Inside Job near the bottom of the pile in terms of lyrics they've put out, but I don't necessarily believe that Ed and the band would think the same.

Inside job is the musical equivalent of telling other people stories about your kids.

No. It's just something a 14 year old would write.

"Inside Job" is the musical equivalent of the weird stuff your aging hippie uncle you kind of feel sorry for says before nodding off

"Evacuation" is better than any song off the last three albums.

They were certainly aiming high with Inside Job. It sounds like it was intended to be a major piece. It's placement on the record concurs. They fell short. There are some moments within the song that are quite nice but ultimately when I hear it I'm left unmoved. It's not a song I have ever put on.
But at least they tried. Over the last two records there hasn't been a song with that aim (excepting maybe Lightning Bolt which also falls short). Sirens tries for the emotional punch and it too sounds rather forced.
