In the nice guy world, the object of affection, usually a woman, but sometimes, as in hit songs by Paramore or Taylor Swift, a dude, isn't really a person. They're a prize that the narrator thinks they've already won for being such a swell person and not like the rest of the jerks. If only they would see. Along with an aggressive level of entitlement, this is what separates a Nice Guy™ song from a good old fashioned unrequited love ballad. When you're asking someone to take a chance on you, you're acknowledging that they have a right to choose.

Plenty of bands handicap themselves by trying to be the Heaviest Group on the Planet. Homme's genius is that he long ago realized that the lane was wide open to be the Sexiest Heavy Group on the Planet, and he's achieved this goal without looking corny. His collaborators have always pummeled with the best of 'em, but they were always just as interested in taut grooves and slithering melodies as, say, guitar riffs that sounded like a whale being thrown against a skyscraper. That blend of seduction and destruction is still present, which is fortunate, because otherwise things are starting to get really tense here.
