I personally don't think The Resistance album is as bad as most people claim it to be. Of course I prefer the older albums, but since I really listen and enjoy nearly all genres of music it made me rather proud that they tried something new. I don't really like the fact though, that they've become so mainstream through Twilight :/ I'm rather fond of Exogenesis since Matt's falsetto's come rather well into them, or actually just in The Overture, but they're all the type that you can just sit back to and relax and let your imagination wander
I don't like Guiding Light or I belong to you so much though, but Undisclosed Desires is a very brave and good move by them.
Just thought I'd add here, for some stupid reason, that I have 5 albums (Showbiz, Origin Of Symmetry, Absolution, Blackholes and Revelations and The Resistance), plus I saw them in the summer at Kaisanniemi Park from the front row (Right in front of Chris)
But these are my opinions on The Resistance ^^
