Think RR would've been a great finishing album, some super-arch meta statement about avoiding cliche by writing conventional material, doing it damn well then disappearing into the ether with but a wry wink from Thurston to let us in on the joke. Also, the PROBLEM with The Eternal is that it sounds a bit like every other record but without the edge of the earlier stuff, the sprawl of the midperiod or the melodicism of the latter, and though I'm not normally toooo bothered about production values Protools-ing or whatever a band that rely so heavily on tone is a crime against humanity.
