Hardwired era = best in 20+ years?

From what I've seen in vids they guys are enjoying themselves a lot these past years and are on top of their game, especially James' voice, which has been improving for the past 7 years non-stop. Their latest album was well-received by more people than DM, which was a solid and successful effort. From critics to fans to peers, Hardwired and its tour are probably their most accomplished period since the Black Album (and Load) era(s).
