As is proven by Metanoia, but I suspect he has higher standards for "real" albums, which is what it sounds like he is working on.
I just wonder what will be the ultimate outcome of PT. My guess is they will fade into obscurity here soon.
You wouldn't guess that if you were on the PT emailing list. The way people talk there -- there's constantly newbies coming in, going, "OMG, this is like the greatest music ever, where have I been?" -- I suspect they'll be around forever -- as long as Pink Floyd or the Dead. Sure, they might "plateau", but I still think he has a masterpiece in him. I think he'll suddenly get a "surprise" hit, like Extreme's "No More Words" or something like that, and then he'll come back down to the level where he is now, pumping out the albums and tours, and keeping his core audience happy, but I think there's room for one more growth spurt.
