Its a good album. Not a classic (AB or JT), nor is it on par with their best (Pop, Zooropa, TUF). So I guess I'll have to go for average.

I definitely think it's their best album thus far. It's definitely the most complete album they've released in general. In a couple years people might look at this and see it as the next (maybe final) evolution of U2, which would put SOI with their other major game-changing albums in Achtung Baby and ATYCLB.
