To the OP, I respect your opinion, and that's fine if you feel that way about the song,
maybe you can give it a few more listens to let it kind of sink it.
but, I must say...
I LOVE the song half-to-death.
I love the riffs, they are really raunchy, catchy, and for lack of better words... heavy.
The melodies are catchy, they work very well with the music.
The lyrics are a little *eh* at times, mostly the parts in the chorus that go "I'm your guilty addiction" "your iconic fixation" etc. are a little tacky, but the rest of the song makes up for that one flaw I can find with the song.
And it sounds like something off of JLB's solo record, which I have no problems with, because I love that too.
Hmm.. I kinda like You Not Me.. It's not THAT bad, maybe for Dream Theater standards... But, have you heard a bad song before?
I don't think it was meant to "go anywhere" or take you on a musical journey through time and space, since it's just kind of a "radio-friendly" tune, and it lives it's purpose quite well. To me, I think it's neat because it's not overly long, it doesn't have any fat that needs to be trimmed. The song goes through it's motions, and then ends when it should.
And, again: you're not wrong, I'm not wrong. It's just all opinions!
