What I heard is actually mainstream pop at its finest. And I also do not know what it is so bad (several articles in newspapers found it's only a matter of course that the new album could have become anything ... for whatever reason - that they have heard it at all, I doubt, because what for Music expects there, I learned from the newspaper not ...)
I like the album with each listen a little better (I like just mainstream pop ... like many others - the only reason why it is arguably also produces much ...) and I hope that the four guys at least have earned success with it ... there are so immerhim 10 years passed and I readily admit that I, as recently Take That - Fan of the (then) Fab Five was thrilled by all songs, more of the shows ...
So short conclusion: the (now) Fab Four have become fortunately adult and so also the music has changed. I think it's good !!!
