Do you think TTPD would have been better critically received as two albums?

I was listening to Evermore today. It got me thinking - would TTPD have benefitted from the Evermore/Folklore "sister albums" approach? As in, each side of TTPD being separated and released fairly close to each other, and marketed as two separate albums.

On one hand, critics often cited TTPD as being in need of an editor. On the other hand, separating the two would arguably make each side weaker, and loses the full picture of what the album is trying to say.

That said, overall, I'd argue TTPD would critically gain more than it would lose as being 2 albums.
