I feel you here, and maybe you're right; perhaps they did try this more subdued sound in an effort to reach a greater audience. I don't think it was strictly in that vain, though, if that was their cause:
This interview has the band (mainly Alice since, I'm assuming, she's the primary lyricist) discussing the concepts and themes the album sets forth, many of which I would say are much deeper and/or heavier than what a safe audience would appreciate.
