Definitely prefer both those albums to Lifeblood, but there's not much they've done I don't like in some way. They did seem rejuvenated post-Send Away the Tigers, though.
And yes, "The Everlasting" is not good. I don't have a problem with This Is My Truth overall, but the first time I heard that, it sounded like Foreigner or something. Weird they took "Nobody Loved You" off the anniversary edition instead of that, and even weirder that they didn't make "Prologue to History" the leadoff track in place of it, instead of placing it between "Black Dog" and "SYMM" where it just sounds out of place.
The new Know Your Enemy seems to have been put together more thoughtfully.
