I'm With You is also a solid track. That's 6 tracks that I still listen to quite often.
Unlike others though, I don't care much for Room At the End of the World or What's Left of Me. In fact I much prefer Amen and Army of One.
My gripe with Army of One is the ridiculously bad lyrics. It's cringe. BUT, I absolutely ADORE the guitar and synth work, especially in the outro. It's so atmospheric and magical. It's the only reason I still listen to the song every now and then.
The Fighter and With These Two Hands I never listen to. Thick As Thieves gets the occasional play, but it's nothing special.
As for the title track, I can still enjoy it. The fact that it was overplayed on tour killed it a little for me, but I don't hate it nearly as much as others do.

Spot on. Except that, for me, it's Water, Beautiful World and Thick As Thieves that I absolutely love. I have no problem with the lyrics for Army Of One. The only song that's maybe a little too bland for me is What About Now itself, actually. And I could've done without the Stand Up Guys songs or Richie's (yeah I know, that's all deluxe editions only)...
