Also, an average of 4 minute length does nothing but worry me when it comes to them utilizing lazy song structures. I feel like it's gonna be verse/chorus/verse/chorus/solo/chorus fin, for the entire album. Just real worried about this album, and this song did not help that at all. They just can't let a song stand out with uniqueness; it always, always always has to have that "soaring" chorus, and they didn't use to do that all the time. They can have a really heavy, biting song and then have a big melodic chorus that sounds extremely out of place.
They want that Download headliner spot, and I think this is exactly why they're doing short songs with big choruses.DCooper727 wrote:It's just too jarring for me, and feels like they aren't writing for the song anymore, but for a chance at a radio hit.

Maybe during the clean verses, but as soon as the distorted guitar kicks in, it's the same mess as usual.
