For me it's not only that none of the four songs have touched me so far. It's also that I kind of know that the songs will be musically subpar, not to speak of vocally. I liked Not Running Anymore, so I'm hoping there'll be something that can pick me up with it's laid back feel. Lyrics can carry a song, but they'll have to be strong this time around.

But it's also that I don't feel any excitement from the band members. No tweets, no short video clips of Jon, no radio interviews or anything like that. Before the release of THINFS, there was much more in terms of him going into deeper conversations with radio hosts and talking about how he worked off his demons on that record. That made me feel connected.
Everythime I see him these days, there's a bottle of wine in the clip.
