I think some emotion was missing.
I think his songwriting is best when he's pissed off about something. I read before White Light came out that he had recently gotten married, and had a much more positive outlook on life. I know I sound like a prick when I say this but his music may have suffered because of it. He didn't seem to have a lot to say, and the album showed that. Whether it had anything to do with his personal life or not, I'm not sure.
But his marriage finished (on very bad terms) and he became a lot more cynical and angry in the posts on his website (much like his songwriting was when his career was at its best). Maybe that'll show through in the music as well. I don't know.
Either way, I like the sound of the new single.
