1) Band blew load (artistically) on first record.....25 years to write the
debut, three months to write the follow-up.
2) Band's been on the road so there's no time to write.
3) Record label has to decide whether they still a) exist b) give a fuck c)
have the dough
4) Major labels still haven't figured out that albums has a 12 week life
span....which dates right back to the Beatles. Get a new album out BEFORE
the audience a) gets bored b) forgets about you c) forgets they're bored.
