Objectively, no. Subjectively, yes.

I can't comment too much on EJ's recent output - outside of 
Disney/Webber/Rice type stuff (which I mostly abhor) I haven't heard much 
since "I'm Still Standing". But his 70's run was astounding (great 
collaborator, perfect band) and largely still enjoyable to hear.

ps - Admire the sentiment, but wouldn't "not putting it out in the first 
place" be a good quality control tactic if you thought your output was crap? 
If he's holding himself to higher standard, bravo. But I don't think he's 
under any record company obligations, is he?
