It's their most focused and mature album, and the lyrics are at their most poignant and powerful.
Assuming you're talking about TPE, I totally agree.
I'm talking about Scarsick,
TPE has some strong aspects, focus isn't one of them.
What? It's easily their most focused 
Mmmm. I think there are a lot of things going on there that don't need to be there, and there are a few too many tracks that I don't really care for immensly (title track, Ashes) though there are also some of their best songs. It's probably my least favorite lyrical album of theirs, to be honest. A lot of poetic "pain" and "crying" and etc. but I've nowhere to really place it, nothing to really relate it to save a few tracks ("Dedication", my favorite on the album.)
I wouldn't call Scarsick more focused, just more simple. And musically it's far from focused; going from rap, to blues, to disco, to metal, to nu-metal, to atmospheric, to alternative, very unfocused.
Dunno, I don't find the style of the music to make a real difference, as, to me, all of the songs have a very common identity as a Scarsick song, and there are many things that are present in all of them.
