Agreed. Anesthetize is a brilliant song. I hope their next album is a good one. The Incident was decent. The first 6 tracks are pretty damn good; then it gets mediocre until the last 3 or so tracks. I hate to say it, because when they're good, they are really good (FOABP is one of my fav rock albums of all time); but they don't have many consistent albums. I really want to like all of their albums, but, IMO, only three of them are consistently good - The Sky Moves Sideways, Signify, and Fear. Just my opinion, of course.
