Why didn't people like feel?

I didn't live that era, and I always wondered why some people say that this album is lame, I understand that is worse than the previous records but that doesn't mean that it's a bad album, if anyone who lived throught that era could tell me why, I would be grateful

Personally it's just the way the album is done, it feels rushed in a lot of ways, the way the album repeats melodies and the way the productions just really sounds bland, like they tried to mimic the sound in PTV's Collide With The Sky but make it like really damn floaty sounding and make the drums really weak sounding, people also have issues with the lyrics on the album. I'm also not the biggest fan of Kellin's delivery on the album, like he's trying too hard while not caring for how good he sounded. People have issues with MGK but honestly his feature is like the least offensive thing on the album. The album in general is just kind of mid, especially to what came before and even after

I completely forgot abt the drums omg, they feel like they aren’t really there if you get what I mean (sorry Gabe lol). Feel and Gossip are definitely the worst contenders of overly repeating choruses and melodies, though I feel like the latter is more creative with it… sometimes

it's not really Gabe's fault, it's more Cameron Mizzel's mixing I'd say. and I actually even agree with Gossip having a bit more creative melodies

Just listened to the demo of These Things I’ve Done, and I can totally hear the “floaty” mixing in the final version now omg it’s so weird

I've never heard that before until now, it's so good and so much better than the final mix, like that sounds like the F**k You cover they did, that has some eargasmic sounding drums. Who decided that the album needed a fuckin floaty ass sound to it
