This is a very true statement :-)    Interesting that Max says he's listening to a lot of jazz these days ( in his Polar Prize interview with Jan Gradvall).

I do feel like they have had some weak bridges as of late. Weaker than normal. Max is obviously amazing but some of the bridges can seem lazy sometimes. Like Just like Fire and Shake it off are same lazy chunk just thrown in to get it over 3 mins.

This makes sense his newer stuff doesn't have that climatic build as much as it did a few years ago. Smoother and more rhythmic.
