I think the one thing I'm missing here is the piano. I really wish we could get more brooding piano-driven ballads like "Lithium", "Hello", "Like You", and "Good Enough".

I loved their self-titled album from 2010 or w/e. Should I bother with this?

You are not obliged, no, albeit that would be recommended.
