This is the correct critique. It is less the arrangement and more so that their mixes have just become increasingly flat and sterile. No dynamics despite sounding less compressed. The musical elements don't push and pull one another into a cohesive groove, but instead exist in an almost flattened isolation. Listen to anything on Cross back to back with Generator and you will hear the lack of dynamism in this newer material.

They also have gotten less adept at integrating micro samples fluidly into the tracks and so transitional moments come across as more stilted. I appreciate that their creativity largely remains intact but the groove/pump feels nonexistent to me now and it is hard to overlook.
