Many complain that since the John Shanks produced the albums, the band is going downhill. I don't think Shanks is to blame for that alone. Jon is the boss and determines how the song should end up. HAND, Lost Highway and The Circle were all great albums and had powerful guitar and drum sounds, which I've just missed recently and very much with Limitless. I have the feeling that Jon is just not the passionate rock musician he used to be, he is very politically and socially committed, which is perfectly okay, but if the passion for music suffers and such 0815 pop hits appear, he should decide for one thing.
Maybe they will also revise the song and at least add a guitar solo, which is what they did after WWBTF.
