Can't agree with you. I think this is the best season yet. 24 is a really intruiging mirror of American culture, and American life, and this season isn't any different.

so can someone, just to make sure i'm not going crazy, tell me that this season (and, to a lesser extent, last season) are vastly different from the first three seasons?

I do agree with this. This season is much different. All previous seasons always seemed to be celebrating American culture, offing foreign terrorists, and supporting the war on terror (which are things I absolutely don't do, but I still liked the show), but this season it is the Administration that's the bad guy, it's not foreigners at all, and the war on terror isn't even a factor. I think the writers saw public opinion for the Bush administration and the War in Iraq going south in a big way, and cleverly adjusted the show accordingly. Hence why I think this is the best season yet. I understand the show is doing better than ever, as well.
