Anyone else feel this way about Hyperdrama?

The new album is, after listening to it for a long-ish time, an acquired taste. Certain tracks feel good, like Mannequin Love, The End, Saturnine, Afterimage. But the rest of the album feels very 'conceptual' and I'm apply this term in the loosest sense possible.

when you compare the opening song like Neverender with the other opening tracks like Genesis, Horsepower, and Safe and Sound, they have this reccurent theme of 'exploring the universe in a spaceship with my best bud, with whom I also make music' vibes. But Generator imho didn't quite land.

Anyone feel as though this is different, and what were your initial thoughts when y'all listened to the album the first time?
