I think he wanted to do an album with a positive vibe, without any anger/spite/obsession/... So far he succeeded.
(Hopefully because he moved passed these feelings)
But without these emotions, the songs lose a bit of depth imho. They don't have that truly honest, confessional feel. Without these raw uncensored emotions, the songs just aren't as powerful and addictive to me.
They are very well made though. And I'm sure they'll sound much less 'poppy' live.
I just might have to go elsewhere when I'm looking for something dark and depressing.
