I kind of get the comments about sub par lyrics (by Thrice standards) on this, but I find that most of the time they definitely flirt with corniness but ultimately come off as earnest. Of course this is preferential but I really feel the melancholy of Hurricane and The Long Defeat, the human longing of Stay With Me, the pure frustration and angst of Blood on the Sand, etc...
I can totally understand if someone hates the lyrics on this. They mostly work for me, though.
Except for Wake Up. Yeesh.

I'm enjoying this more than I thought I would. I only wish the had risked more on the experimental side, they played it safe. Still great album.

I also put M/M over Beggars.
This album is better than Beggars too, which is astonishing because Beggars is an outstanding album.
Also the lyrics are great as always. The fact that he is not using metaphors in each verse anymore does not make the lyrics bland (unless you have the perspective of a 14-year old schoolboy, who just discovered stylistic devices).

It's weird how people seem to be quite negative about M/M when it has a higher average rating than Beggars and I remember at the time that people didn't like Beggars and found M/M to be a return to form. Maybe M/M aged worse than Beggars?

M/M is second best Thrice for me and I'd say both records (M/M and Beggars) have aged quite nicely

Beggars is way underrated; it's their most diverse album after Vheissu and manages to hold up a melancholy vibe with a few cathartic breaks (In Exile, Talking Through Glass). Major/Minor is too bland to match up to its nuance and too lacking in powerhouse tracks to be more memorable (tbh, if it weren't for Anthology and Disarmed, M/M would be their weakest since Identity Crisis).
This suffers from many of M/M's weaknesses (lack of diversity, over reliance on upbeat melodic rock vibes) but has more highlights and a heavier edge that just about elevates it. At the end of the day, all Thrice is good Thrice (but Beggars remains their strongest since Vheissu).

Reduce both by .05 and that's spot on. As long as we can agree they should both be lower than they currently are (and from the looks of it, that Beggars should be higher)
