Agreed agreed agreed x 100.  It is by far my favorite.  The lyrics are
better than the earlier albums, (not to mention that crap song "Deep") the
music is less harsh and more about the music than the noise, and there is
an underlying theme of redemption and hope...where the closest work to
compare (TDS) is rather bleak.
