The new album feels off

I'd love to get other people's thoughts on the new album! I've only been a fan of Kodaline since Politics of Living (which has kept its place as my personal favorite album of all time ever since 2018), but I love literally all of their music except that Christmas single they released lol

The new album just feels... weak? Like the lyrics feel really simple and the instrumentals don't feel as interesting or unique. Most of the songs on this album are about the same thing, losing love, and it started to feel a bit too repetitive after the 4th or 5th song. I know there are references to past lyrics throughout the album and that's fun, love that. But after one listen I don't feel like replaying any but maybe two of the songs on this album.

Idk, I'm sure this album means a lot to other fans so I would love to hear different perspectives! Maybe I just need to give it another chance.

Some interesting things I found listening to the new album

Been listening to the album since it came out and I absolutely love it. During my listening, I found some interesting references (especially in lyrics) and thought it'll be fun to share.

Not sure if it's just me or they did it on purpose tho.

You're welcome to share anything you find interesting while listening to our favorite band and any stories throughout the years. I just think it would be nice to have such a place for us fans to just chat during this time... I'm so dead on the inside.
