I disagree. I think the ending is perfect.
See to me, the entire album is cleverly influenced by splashes of 21st Century day music.
So if you are not into Coldplay, Interpol, The Strokes, The Killers, Keane, Bastille, Kings of Leon, and even Daft Punk, then the ending of I Will Drive You Home, and songs like New Years Day, Knockout, and Born Again Tomorrow may be tougher to accept or get into.
