"We're gonna make an album that sounds exactly like Naveed. Same style of lyrics and everything!"
Are you fucking kidding me? Where did they say that? They went back to recording and album the way they did with Naveed. 4 people making music, no outside interference. You set your own self up for disappointment if you believed that you were going to get another version of Naveed. You also made your own interpretations and assumptions. I'm sure you wanted some songs with over-written lyrics about how love is gone and nobody else in the world understands it but you, or how no one can be trusted and you are the only one who is trying to get everyone to see. They don't write that shit anymore because they are past it. Political rock? Every single record label forced their musicians to sing political rock because bashing the government was the cool thing to do at the time. Unfortunately for OLP they put out Healthy a couple of years too late for it to have the right impact.
I'm glad you have an opinion of the album, and you have every right to think what you want of it. Music is all subjective. However, I think you set yourself up for disappointment, and have no real concept of why they write the lyrics that they do now.
