You know, the most consistent comment on here that I read about this album is how consistent it is. "There doesn't appear to be any big hit, or song that stands out, but at least the record's consistent". That's like reviewing someone in your office and saying "They've never really excelled, but their performance is consistent".
Don't mistake me, I've called the album "even" myself, and am generally pleasantly surprised with it. I just wonder if our expectations have over time shifted so much we don't even perceive it. We used to expect transcendental, impactful anthems from U2...now we're just happy if the record's "consistent". It's like a pensioner who used to climb mountains and is now just happy if they can get up in the morning.
