A couple of changes and they could still produce some good stuff. It's just not taking that extra step anymore to make the average songs good and the good songs great.
I liked Not Running Anymore but didn't like Old Habits Die Hard. I actually think NRA was similar to DA. Even the video was something like the DA videos....
I still think we will have 2/3 songs that we love on 2020 but we've heard 1/5 of the album and I don't like any so far.

What gripes me the most is knowing these songs could come out better.
Unbroken is just way too slow and I think Jon could sound much better in a studio. The Invictus Games version is the correct speed.
Limitless is It's My Life part 15 formula wise. The chorus grew on me. It reminds me of OWN which really doesn't have a great chorus either (own has better lyrics). Terrible bridge... Jon doesn't sound bad. It's Shank's production style that kills it for me. There is zero edge to it. The instruments are blended. It's a good filler track.
I have a feeling that Do What You Can is going to be Scars On This Guitar part 2.
But at the end of the day, the album was recorded in 11 days (according to Phil's recent interview) so that's what you get.
