I also noted in the article you link to they say "...his first back-to-back Top 10 studio albums since 1983..." which would make it all the more impressive! Commercial success will hopefully make it all the more likely that Mikes enthusiasm continues to that possible intrumental album he's mentioned. Bring it on -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

If songs are popular he is going to make more of them until he make unpopular ones and then tries something different with long instrumentals and so on so forth. e.g. Islands -> Earth Moving -> Amarok -> Heaven's Open -> and at this point of the algorithm we reached a singularity and success could only come from a TB thing Back to top

Mind you, I'm really enjoying MOTR at the moment so am not exactly going to complain if Mike changes tack and does another set of songs! -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top
