I think what PBradley said about The Eternal is pretty accurate.

Plainly said, I think this album is a lot less experimental than what most fans will want. However, that isn't to say it is entirely devoid of new sounds. The first seven seconds of "Leaky Lifeboat" is a sound I haven't heard them touch since "Shadow of a Doubt" (plus a cool playground swing thing going on, I want more of that). But these moments are admittedly few but should that stop it from being a fun record? No. This album delivers the sounds that people moaned for with Rather Ripped. Mission accomplished.
