The heavy guitars on Bounce were a step in the right direction. And no weak ballads on Have A Nice Day were a step in the direction. And the production on Lost Highway was a step in the right direction. And the absence of country songs on The Circle were a step in the right direction. The production on What About Now were a step in the right direction.
Jon's taken so many steps in the right direction he ought to be there by now but for every step in the right direction he still takes two backwards.

I think it's possible to compartmentalize certain things when saying it's a step in the right direction. The writing is far better than most of the other elements. There can be things that are a "step in the right direction" while having god awful things attached to it, it just doesn't mean it's the second coming of These Days nor does it mean What about now pt 2.
But I do agree my standards are lower that I'm patting him on the back for putting an effort into lyrics.
