yes, to each their own while i love rock music, i've been worn out on the DMB "play as fast and loud and in your face as we can for the energeezz wall of sound" style for years now. so hearing something that is slower and breathes so you can appreciate the layers and nuances is really nice.

Actually, now that you mention nuances, I think the reason I don't like it as much as others is less about the pace and more about the nuances I DON'T hear which I've heard in past versions.
It's fine that Carter is playing at a slower pace but I miss hearing him throw in a bunch of cool fills in between beats... beats within the beats if you understand what I'm trying to say.
I also miss the contrast and unique sound which the violin brought. And subbing the sax and violin for organ anywhere in a song is a direct downgrade for me. Like the intro, in past versions I completely enjoyed the intros but in this version I just can't wait to get past it for the actual rest of the song to begin.
