MOG

I'm giving Mr. Flowers a thumbs down. Trying too hard and pretentious lyrics.

I like some parts of the music, but that's it.

Not really digging the song so much,

but with any pop song that is played on the radio enough times, i feel there is a point when you begin to like it, not because you do, but because you heard it enough time and it has enough pop charm to overcome in the end.  

by like it, i mean you start to sing along.  then a decade later if the song lasts, you and a friend realize you both know the words when it plays over the radio, and you come to the conclusion after a little thought, that maybe you do actually like it

or i might just really like really bad music and am afraid to express such loves

It's an improvement I think.  At least he's not trying to sound like Springsteen anymore.
