In my case, it's not that I want more of the "darker elements," it's
just that in terms of its tunes and arrangements, SKY BLUE SKY is
kinda...well, boring. The albums between BEING THERE and A GHOST IS
BORN are all quite imaginative in their overall sound, whereas the new
one just kind of sits there. I'm glad he's clean and everything, and
I have no beef with the album's lyrical themes, but musically, I find
it a bit inert.
