Do you think that Boom is pacing nervously around his Hawaiian surfer shack at the thought of this?

Not wowed, just like it more than some of his more recent solo stuff.

Not sure what to add other than it's got a slightly unique (non?) structure that I feel the band could actually do something with, unlike his acoustic Into The Wild offerings like "Swallowed Whole" which are essentially "ready to go."
This comparison is obviously too far afield, but I always go back to Springsteen and Born To Run, which was almost entirely piano-based in the songwriting. That allowed him to go to totally new places with his song arrangements.
Anyway, we don't have a Born To Run coming our way but I'd settle for something more interesting and off-kilter in band arrangement/contribution.
But probably we'll get the spiritual sequel to Ukulele Songs... Pump Organ Songs.
