If you never listen to the albums, you'd just assume that the band are putting out the same record time and time again. I don't believe they do, but when you see singles like "It's not war", "International Blue" and "Indian Summer", I'd forgive someone for not giving the band the benefit of the doubt. I wish the third single would be reserved for some of the more heavy or experimental tracks which showcase either the band's creative edge or musicianship rather than repeating the same message with diminishing returns.
It might undo everything but I love International Blue. Yeah... I'd like to dig myself further by saying they've finally got a set opener with it that can stare down and lead into Motorcycle Emptiness.
Agree with the rest of your post. The follow up singles have been lesser compared to the deep cuts untouched.
