In any case, I've only heard it a couple of times, so this album may grow over time.
Summer of Love is simple but beautiful.

This sums up how I think as well.
There are lots of ballads, but they don't mean as much, when they're all next to each other and you have no rockers in between. Good albums usually have a balance of both. Songs of Innocence, while not overly impressive on a song-by-song basis, had that balance and thus was more enjoyable to me.
This is their equivalent to The Circle - not necessarily bad, but is essentially modern U2 by numbers, unwilling to take any risks or "let their hair down".
