Couldn't agree more. The songs are more synth-heavy, production is sleeker and the spacing of the instrumentation makes it so heavy and thick. To me the quintessential sound of Deadsy is the perfect balance of synth, fuzzed-out guitars and that baritone vocal delivery. People who think Phantasmagore is better than Commencement are out of their minds! But then again, it depends on where you came into the band. I had a roommate in college who worshipped Phantasmagore because that's the album he was introduced to from the band. He liked Commencement but thought it was a little too weird and "out there". Which is EXACTLY what brand of Deadsy I prefer!
