I'd love it if they signed off with a genuine 'destroy rock and roll' moment. Nicky sometimes talks about the idea of destroying the band. Ending their career with something bold that gets people talking, rather than another average poppy album, would be truly excellent.
Some artists have made late career digressions and been stronger for it, the last albums to date by The Divine Comedy and The Jesus and Mary Chain for example, even Swans pre-breakup. The last Lou Reed album (Lulu, with Metallica) alienated a lot of people but I love that he went out with one of his most ugly, bombastic, and universally hated releases.
