I don't even know what to add to all of this! I love how you made it about the album as a whole and talked about everything you like about it and it means to you.
In my case, TBP is my least favorite album. Musically, it's fucking great. I just never felt it much, personally. It's not my album. Lyrically, it definitely has a lot of great lines, like you pointed out. Although I wasn't so into the very direct lyrics, like WTTBP or FLW. Like I said in the meme, my favorite is The Sharpest Lives and I fucking loooove the lyrics you quoted. The album never depressed me either (except for Cancer). To me, the positive message they wanted to convey was always clear. What was kind of depressing, and then just got kind of ridiculous to me was the patient thing live. Well, even the uniforms got me tired rather soon...but they apparently felt the same so it's all good. xD
