I don't know if you guys remember this, but towards the end of the AVOTT the gift (I'm not sure which show he said it in), Trent joked around about the "big fucking titties" after the bra was thrown on stage, and then said "and now some more depressing music". The fact that he said it in an almost joking manner shows that Trent, even musically, is not at the same place at all (as if we need more proof than the interviews and happiness he found in marriage) he was in around the time of The Fragile.
If people don't see the underlying themes of self-discovery and personal redemption from a destructive pattern in The Slip, then I think we've missed out on one of the most important turns-for-the-better in music themes.
I don't think Trent will ever trade dissonance, noise, and electronic subtones for pop grooves and bubblegum beats cough-Cornell-cough, but I don't think he's going to retrograde to the underlying dark motiphs of 90's era albums.
And I'm thankful for that.
