I prefer Origin of Symmetry (which I consider their only 100% consistent album and their best), but Absolution is definitely worthwhile and much better than Showbiz. The lyrics can be on the weak side sometimes (Apocalypse Please, Thoughts of a Dying Atheist), and there's some unremarkable songs in the 2nd half (Blackout, Endlessly), but otherwise it's a very good listen. My favorite's probably "Stockholm Syndrome", with "Butterflies and Hurricanes" a close second.
And as you can see, I love the cover art.
