It’s okay/mediocre.

When New Order last “came back” in a big way, with Get Ready in 2001, I was blown away by the sound of the new single, Crystal. But holy hell, those lyrics, “Our love, it’s like honey, you can’t buy it with money,” just killed me with how terrible they sounded. Those lyrics sucked, but the album was otherwise fantastic.

At least the (great) video gave The Killers their name?
