I doubt I will ever like another album by them, but let's pretend there is still hope

I want better lyrics (meaning they should come from the heart) and not that cheesy and uninspired pseudo-songwriting) I want them to wait until they have something to say.

Some great melodies would be good, great built-ups, great guitar-layers.

Kick-ass rock songs like Hey God or at least something like Happy Now or Thorn or even Bullet.

I want some passion for a change, a tight band and I would love for all of them to really get involved and Jon and Richie really feeling the need to write songs and not just because they feel obliged to do so.

They should get into the studio, hire a good non-pop Producer and stay there for a few months .
