I understand all of the criticism directed at this album, such as "it's too all over the place" or "it doesn't feel like a conclusion to the story," and I don't really disagree, but for me, this album still stands out, despite the fact that they'll probably never do something as unique as Trench. I'm alright with that and no longer opposed to the idea, and I think it allows me to see this album's flaws while still enjoying it and enjoying it quite a bit, in the end.
