"Wish" is one of the most dreadful songs I've yet heard... It's legitimately not good. It's not that it's too different - it's just that nothing stands out, it doesn't have a big "boom" to it (feels flat). Lyrics are not stellar. Vocal effects ruin delivery. No feeling of spectacle from this track at all...
"A Part of Me" is... much much better than "Wish", but still not that good. I can see why these were sold as bonus tracks.
"Recover" is pretty good. It reminds me of "Through It All", only less affecting. I don't really have any other thoughts on it.
These three tracks still follow the same pattern of Draiman appeasing his comfort zone while the instruments continue to be consistently less interesting than Disturbed. I'm sad to say that I feel like Device is mostly a one-trick pony, but further, it's evidence that David himself is a one trick pony. I so want to love this album, but I've had it for weeks and it's only garnered 2 listens. I just don't find it that interesting or different! Come on guys, give me something more distinct to work with here! It's not bad by any stretch (except for "Wish"), but it feels like a weakened, electrically-tinged Disturbed with a stagnating frontman. I hope this band's next venture sees them truly breaking new ground. I know they can do it. They give us glimpses here, but fail to expand.
